Love & Football

A while back I won tickets to the Penn State vs. Ohio State football game from the company I work for. These were not just any tickets... they were suite box tickets with a prime parking spot! Needless to say it was a pretty suite sweet experience! There was endless amounts of food & drinks, cushioned seats & it was a televised prime time game which neither of us had ever experienced. PSU lost the game in overtime, which sucks, but it was a really great game & a fun time for both of us!

Sunday was our first wedding anniversary (& 10 years total together)! :) Since we didn't get home until the wee hours of the morning from the game we just relaxed the whole day and made dinner together. Our wedding cake was surprisingly delicious a year later! The first year wedding gift is "paper." So, I did a little watercolor portrait of Nate, Joey & I as my gift to him & Nate wrote me a really sweet poem. He also attempted to get Taylor Swift involved (since i'm a HUGE fan), but so far it seems that didn't work out. It's the thought that counts though! :)

My favorite part is his ears... :)

We also carved our pumpkins over the weekend. I think they're pretty kick ass; the best ones we've ever done! Joey insisted his pumpkin needed to be a cat. How ironic. He also felt it was necessary to lick the entire thing multiple times.

We are going to a Halloween party this weekend & we're super excited for all the fun ahead! It's clear Joey has absolutely no idea what he wants to be.

He takes it very seriously.

Happy Halloween week! :)

Cold Weather Favorites

Things are going to start getting busy over here. Nate finally had his test. After over a month of studying every day for hours & hours... it's over! YAY! But now all of his residency interviews start, which means a lot of traveling for him & a few days alone for me for the next few months. On the bright side it is my favorite time of year & I have a lot of fun things planned!! :)

 It has been getting a little cooler here lately. We had our first frost the other day & it has been so windy. We run/walk outside practically every day, so when it is entirely too chilly to handle we bundle up with our hats, gloves & scarves. I am a scarf obsessed person. I buy a new one every year & of course I have to buy a hat that matches. With even colder weather just around the corner I thought it would be fun to put together some favorite cold weather accessories I've stumbled across.

Scarf // Boots // Socks // Red Hat // Gloves // Striped Hat

I saw these boots on Pinterest with red laces & I died. I'm typically not a "red" person, but I have found myself so drawn to it lately. I am in desperate need of a new winter boot, so I will keep my fingers crossed they make their way in to my closet. :)

Hope you all are having a happy week! :)

Our Weekend

Happy Wednesday! We are halfway through the week & that is a win in my book. We had a busy weekend over here. We traveled home to see Nate's brother's soccer game. It is the only game we were able to see this year & probably the last since the kid is a senior! Craziness I tell you. Then we went to a friends house for a little party. It was nice to see people we haven't seen in so long! 

Sunday we left a little earlier than normal to travel back to Hershey. Nate has a big test coming up that he needed to study for. Needless to say he will be cramming hard the rest of the week. The weekends with our families always go so quickly, but we will be back to visit again in a few short weeks! 

We are in the last couple of weeks of October & there is a lot coming up! We are getting our Halloween costumes finalized & party plans in order, our anniversary is approaching fast & I'm in the beginning stages of holiday chalkboards! I'm sooo looking forward to sharing those with everyone. All of this is going to fly by, but we are so ready for all the fun ahead! :)  Sidenote: Taylor Swift is killin' it with her newest song.
Just sayin'...

Yes, it has gluten in it!

It was Nate's birthday this week so we went to a new restaurant in Hershey called "The Mill." It was an old feed mill (hence the name) & everything is open beam with old wood & brick. The food was pretty good, but it was a little too high class for Nate & I. But in a couple of weeks we are thinking of going back for trivia night in their upstairs bar.

I made him his favorite large cookie "cake" with a boat load of icing on top. I beautifully sang "Happy Birthday" & Joey tried to lick/paw the cake so that he could claim it for himself (no such luck). I got Nate a pour over coffee maker that he is now infatuated with.

I hope it was a great birthday love :)

Last Sunday we continued our tradition of "Soup Sunday." We decided on french onion since I have never had it. It was really easy & delicious. Although our apartment still smells of onions.
You can find the recipe we used here.

There is a new print making its way into the shop this week. Be sure to check it out!

Happy Wednesday! We're almost to the weekend! :)

Happy October!

October might be one of my most favorite months of the year. It's out anniversary, it's Halloween & this year we get to go to the Penn State vs. Ohio State football game. It's pretty much perfect!

This month we will watch scary movies, cover our eyes because of all the creepiness, then put in Hocus Pocus. It may be on our movie list only once, but I'm sure I will watch it 8 million times!

We will go apple picking, carve pumpkins & have pumpkin beer.

 There is no doubt we will eat our weight in yummy Fall foods, including everything pumpkin spice.
