Recap. Relive. Rebuild.

This summer has literally come and gone. We are already in August, which is pretty much September, and September is basically Fall...Here are some of the few times I got to actually do summer things:

Renegade CraftFair at Fort Mason. We fell in love.


Everyone was 3-D.


New patches for my jacket that I spilled bleach on.


New necklace from the CraftFair.


Mustache.


Art Murmur with ZeroFriend's opening.


A rendezvous to Santa Cruz and Jonah playing at The Crepe place.


We went midnight bowling for some of Miles' co-workers. It was just as much fun to watch from a safe distance as it was to participate.


Morning Milkshakes.


Miles is in school full time, and working. I changed departments at my work and have doubled my hours, just in time for State Survey last week. It was the craziest and busiest week I have had in a while, but I am glad to say that we did really well, and more importantly, we all survived.

These next few months with be a big transition. Let's see how this goes. We have made the decision to avoid paying rent, and to move back into a room at my moms for a year or so while we are both in school. We are hoping to save money, and be less stressed over rent and our apartment, and just focus on what needs to get done. Then, when we are done, we will have time to look into finding a more permanent arrangement with more funds and time available. So here is to family dinners and cramped bathrooms all in the name of love.

Coming up... A day of boating and a last minute trip to Seattle, Whistler, Vancouver, and Victoria...

Familyandfriends.

It's the middle of summer, and the weather feels perfect today. Not too hot, with a small breeze. Picnic weather.

A few weekends ago we had our engagement party. It was perfect. All of our close friends and family came out to celebrate. The highlight of the day was definitely the chocolate fountain. After a morning of failures with two fountains that we had borrowed from friends, we went out and bought one. Who knew a fountain full of chocolate could be so maddening, but it was all worth it. We had strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, rice krispies, fortune cookies, and the pièce de résistance, the bacon. There were some skeptic about bacon dipped in chocolate, but at the end of the day, everyone was believer. There was another table full of hors d'oeuvres and the like.

The dessert table before it got covered in chocolatey drips, and without Kristine's amazing cake pop and chocolate mouse cups.



Under the chuppah.


Fourth of July was laid back and mellow. With Miles and I both in school (him more than me currently) and working, a day off was nice. We went to the Berkeley Marina and walked around in the morning, and then headed over to my mom's for a ping-pong tournament of epic proportions and some bbq dinner. When it was dark, we hiked down to the park and planted ourselves amongst the children donned in glowsticks and light-up shoes to watch fireworks. We went home and climbed into bed to get ready for our new packed to gills schedules for the week.

These guys were just hanging out, swimming in the sky.




I think I am addicted to the show 'Hoarders'... I'm addicted to their addiction.
