Sam & I got to spend an incredible week on the shores of Lake Superior, enjoying NOT planning anything for a whole 7 days. On our adventures we... stopped in Duluth and chatted with Nathaniel Murray Brown over some delicious sammiches. took walks to get ingredients for banana boats. tried to get a monarch to crawl on my finger (and failed). wore flannels while starting fires in our very own (for five days) cove. made sure to have a mid-morning game of bananagrams with snacks. created what was sure to be the worlds best omelette. #sundriedtomatobasil awoke at 5:30am to watch the sunrise in the cove. drank coffee in hand-thrown mugs on top of rocks. started some fires in a cast iron pan while cooking bacon. finished off breakfast with some delicious s'mores. got off of our rumps for a few hours and hiked around Temperance river. froze our toes and gave Sam his first taste of being in water. were too darn adorable to handle. enjoyed two of the World's Best Donuts while wearing Hello Kitty band-aids. had an extended road trip home complete with stops for overlooks, flea markets, Betty's pies ("You got me Betty's pies? You dogs!"), and posing like a chicken after a delicious lunch at the Duluth Grill. We were extremely thankful for a week away, delicious food, and an abundance of relaxation.
We highly recommend the North Shore and can give you loads of recommendations if you ever are planning a trip up there! Much thanks to Justin, Nathaniel Murray Brown Holland & Adam, Mitch & Elizabeth, and the Weavers for all of the tips on delicious places to go!

Weaver Wedding | 8-8-2015I am excited to get more pictures, especially the professional ones by Anna (she gave me a few sneak peaks and oh my word. This woman is a savant I tell you). But Ann was wonderful at taking pictures all day long and I got to see them pretty much right after the honeymoon! I photobombed my bridesmaids! I am funny! Spending the morning with them was the best. One Direction, say what? It is a W for "Weaver." Get it? I was so happy to have a bunch of my friends come visit me while we were all getting ready! I felt like the most fortunate bride in the whole wide world, probably. Samuel and I at the reception - wed! The Zimmerman family is just chillin in the background... Sam & I with our darling, duckling, daughter Alley. What a doll! Our friends gave us a bubble send-off to my favorite rock n' roll song ever. Marriage!
These are most of the events pre-wedding that occurred about a month ago now. Enjoy! [Part One] [Part Two] We got free cukes from one of the adorable old Hmong farmer ladies, so I made pickles! Me at our new table that we picked up at a thrift sale for $0.00 and I painted with some leftover paint from redoing the dresser. Also, STIR FRY! What do you do when your wedding flowers come 9 days early? Have dried ones instead! (Photocredit: Anna Mateffy) I made a mocha cake with coconut frosting for mine & Sam's legal wedding. It was awesome. Yay! Wedding! And cake cutting and things. Can I get a witness!!! Molly Bray came to be my legal witness for our wedding! And she even wore wedding colors! What a gem. I miss this sister.
So I realize these are fairly delayed, but you know, getting married and all. Read part one here! Lexie, Ellie, and I watched our men playing croquet. I do not understand this sport. However, Sam looks darn good in a vest, so that was nice. So I did this gross thing called "school" for three weeks and homework ate up my life for quite a while. NOT A FAN. But Dr. B let us role play kids with EBD and someone flipped a table and broke their toe whilst yelling the f-word. So that was pretty neat. I was going to be all "Look! I made an English breakfast!" but then Archie was all, "mine!". Our very first stir fry! We were very proud of this. It had onions, peanut sauce, mandrin oranges, and cashews. We're fancy. One of my all-time-favorite memories. We realized AS we were heading out the door (late) that we needed to bring something to dinner. We grabbed a mixing bowl & headed to the local grocery store for berries, saran wrap, and water to wash them in. I washed them while driving, and drained them out the window. We're good at being adults. We went out to Dave's house in the country and there was a sunset and horses. LOVE! Anna & I had a fake bachelorette party the night before mine & Sam's legal wedding. We watched a movie on Netflix and went to bed with stomach aches from too much popcorn.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
