On my iPhone lately:

signing "please" - although Deanna isn't sure what he's saying please for? that turkey.

"Chelly [it's actually only one "L" ;) ], we went to Rosarito. But we will be returning later tonight. We love you so much - I ming a lot, lot." 

// I came home from work and found this note from my grandpa. The "I ming a lot, lot.." kills me! English isn't his first language 😆💛... too cute.

 when in doubt.

Pumpkin Patch Saturday

Lil the Pill and I spent some time in Ramona this weekend. In between thrift store shopping, and baking cookies, we made a stop at the local pumpkin patch. I always enjoy my time visiting and hanging out with Lillers. It's totally normal to have a best friend who is 11 years younger than you, right? ;)

zZz

when sleep just isn't happening, I like to look at pictures of my time with Lily Bug. Albertsons in Ramona: thanks for pulling through with your fall selection of baked goodies, and for socially accepting our grocery run in pajamas. #smalltownfeels. We can get away with any fashion faux pas out here.

PD&J 2015

Here are a few captured moments from the Duda wedding last Saturday. It was seriously one of the most beautiful celebrations I've ever attended. I can't speak highly enough about both Jamie's and Paul's family. Everyone was so welcoming, kind, and funny. Really - Jessica, Jamie's younger sister, is one of the funniest people I've met. I can't remember the last time I laughed that much! 

I went away from that weekend feeling light, happy, and full of love. The joy that this family has is contagious, folks. Thanks for your hospitality, Brock family! Adopt me please.

The Brock family owns a brewery. Right?! Just when I thought they couldn't get any cooler. Here's Jessica and Mr. Brock serving up some dranks and showing off their awesome hospitality skills. Do I hear a 2 for 1 special, Jessica..? ;)

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Duda!
