ready for the runway.

a few of my nieces and nephews after seeing a christmas carol, which is entirely too scary for little guys. i hope they've recovered by now.

instead of folding laundry...

i thought i'd give y'all a peek into casa de suco. let me preface this by saying i am not a photographer, but when i pulled into my driveway after going to the grocery store, i had to pull out the camera. i love fall.

a little vinyl for the entryway. sometimes, people think i painted it. sometimes, i don't tell them i didn't.



the only wall fit to share with the internet.



a mum on the porch i'm trying not to kill. it was touch and go there for a while, but i think we're back on track thanks to a new pot full of miracle grow and to my husband who remembers to water it when he gets home from work.



from our driveway. isn't fall grand?



and one of the trees in the backyard. you should see it in real life.



back to folding laundry.

the longest blogpost ever.

it seems to be the trend these days to neglect your blog for weeks and then post millions of pictures of all the fun things you've been doing whilst ignoring your blog. negelct, check. a million pictures, coming atcha. you've been warned. since i'm a fan of lists, here's our summer in list form.

1. cook-outs.
for those of you who look at these pictures and say, hey, that's a bbq! you're right. go with it. i've found it's just not worth it to question east coast retoric.



2. shutterfly.com
trying to organize a million wedding/honeymoon pictures has turned out to be quite delightful with shutterfly photo books. our honeymoon book arrived today and i have to say i'm quite pleased. just in case you haven't had enough, here are a few more wedding photos. isn't michelle divine?





this may be my all-time favorite...


or maybe this one...


3. estoy aprendiendo espanol
si, es verdad. yo hablo espanol. kind of.
every wednesday night at casa de suco is noche latina. hablamos espanol solemente. it's mostly me being quiet, which is pretty difficult, but i've been learning a lot. my favorite part of the evening is when we sit down to watch the classiest of all spanish tv, doce corazones. if you have telemundo and you're not watching this regularly, i'm embarrased for you. trust me on this one.

4. new work schedule
my 3 hours a day in the car from here to there was killing me. i cut my hours and now work 4 nine hour days and take off fridays. house frau fridays, if you will. best decision i ever made. i spent most of the summer teaching a summer camp at the nj state museum. here's a pic one of the kids took. she's got mad skillz.



5. too cute to not include
my nieces and nephews at the wedding. i know, they take after me.











the end.

a 3 hour tour!

that's what last weekend's california trip felt like. i'll sum it up by saying thanks to united airlines, we got a late start. but that sure didn't stop us from meeting with shower goers, caterers, florists, the county office of records, and our fate in an embarrassing game of bowling.

in just 39 days, we'll walk out of this building in different clothes.


people who bowl better than us...i guess iPhone bowling skills don't translate to the real life lane..

matt and his finace, whitney





and last but not least, a HUGE thank you to my sisters, mom, michelle, and brianne for super cute shower! fun and cheescake was had by all. what more could you ask for?

thoughts on moving


it's pretty much the worst.

but it's done now and all that's left to do it unpack. here's pic of the new house and the inside without all my junk.





i would also like to say that it is 3:52 est and i am the only one left in the office. darn you work ethic...well, i'm updating my blog, so really...
