engagement party

i had so much fun at the engagement party this weekend aka i drank too much. adam's childhood friends think i'm funny. open bar's are not good for me.  i asked caroline to stop me from drinking at my wedding.  yikes.

weekend

I never realize how much I like being home unless I've been somewhere really different for a while. -Juno

we are heading to Oklahoma for the weekend.  Adam's dad is hosting an engagement party for us.  we are both pretty nervous. Hope you are having a good birthday!

fish truck

my neighbor liz let me know about a fish truck that travels around michigan. today they made a stop in mount pleasant. i bought $100 worth of fish (tuna poke, tuna steak, scallops, salmon filets). very exciting.

i eastern-european man talked to me in line.  he's been buying from the fish truck for two years. i also saw five japanese ladies. they didn't talk to me though. they were all mom-types.

B Average

this semester i have a B average. i told adam that i always perceived my self as "artistic." finally taking art classes in my thirties, i realized that i am not very good at it. this makes me sad.

fall is here...

the temperature in mount pleasant has been dropping like ten degree's per week (severe frost warnings)! i might be exaggerating a little but it is getting pretty cold and i remember it being warmer same time last year. i keep telling adam that it's going to be a brutal winter but he doesn't believe me. wait till it happens. at last week's dinner party, we discussed michigan weather with fellow guests. i told them "michigan winters i can handle," with confidence. they replied that last winter was very mild and i'm in for it. i guess i will be retiring my boat shoes for the cold weather soon.my boat shoes are studded and aptly named "rockstar"

pretty leaves in the backyard. i promise to rake this year.

i want to go to there

have you heard of eataly? i want to go there so badly. but not yet, it will probably too insane. you can wine, dine and mario batali has something to do with it. a little italy in midtown. i hope when i eventually visit i can pick up some yummy things for our kitchen.

honeymoon - italy or greece?
