One Year

This Saturday was a special one. It was exactly one year from the day Kara and I are getting married! It was really important for us to see what the weather was like in the place we were having the reception next year, so we headed upstate to check it out.

We were fortunate to get the best possible idea of what to expect. See, it rained on Saturday and was sunny on Sunday (go figure.) So we got to see how cold the rain was and what the area looked like after a good downpour of rain. Then we got to see how GORGEOUS it was when there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It mentally helped a lot because it made us ask ourselves, what do we need in case it rains like this?



Besides seeing the weather exactly one year in advance in the area, we got to see Kara's brother Alex's soccer game and her youngest sister Brooke's softball game. We hung out with her parents and talked a lot about pretty much everything that's going to happen within the year.



At the end of the weekend on Sunday we got to see Beema (Kara's grandma) and the progress of the barn her and Bookie (her grandpa) are building for the wedding! It's moving along so quickly and looks so cool.

We also have some other pretty exciting news in the works, but we'll tell you all about it once we get closer to it..!



P.S. A HUGE congratulations to our friends Matt and Sarah on getting ENGAGED this weekend!!! We're so excited for you two, and send all of our love your way in this amazing time in your lives!

Wedding Fun!

On Friday August 22nd, two dear friends of ours were married in Oheka Castle. Frank and I were lucky enough to attend their wedding. Here are some lovely photos of the special day! Congratulations again, Ryan and Sharon on your wonderful wedding! We wish you all the best <3

Of course, smooching with my main squeeze (clearly the photo booth was a complete hit)

The next morning.."Coffee whilst roaming the grounds." (Feeling a bit rough, but it was so worth it)

The entire wedding was phenomenal. Frank and I left pretty early the day of the wedding in order to get settled and dressed in our hotel room.  Of course when we pulled up we were told that the bride and groom were taking photos in the lobby and we had to wait. :) So we snuck in the side entrance and checked in -- but I also snuck a peak outside and saw them posing.. I immediately teared up and the attendant laughed with (at) me. Haha. Here's a super behind the scene pic ;)

Once we were all settled into our beautiful room, we showered, dressed, drank a celebratory pumpkin beer, and waited patiently for the clock to strike 6! Then we filtered down to the amazing champagne hour, where we met our beautifully dressed friends and squealed with excitement for Ryan and Sharon. After the vows, we were able to meander the grounds, drink, and eat a copious amount of amazing hors de oeuvres. There was even an "infused vodka station," that was probably the coolest thing I've eve seen. At the station you had your choice of Vanilla Infused Vodka, Strawberry Infused Vodka, Apple Infused Vodka, and...oh crap, I can't remember the last one. But seriously, it was so awesome! 

Then, we were brought into the grand reception room, where the Bride and Groom were announced and we danced like lunatics and ate phenomenal food for the entirety of the night. Frank and I still can't get over how much fun we had, and how amazing the entire experience was. It was an absolute blast and we loved every moment of the wedding.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple.. we were so glad to be there to witness your special day.

Stay Tuned for our next adventure!
