We have some exciting news around here. Rob was offered a job with a new company, and it’s pretty dope! I’m so happy for you honey – congrats. You’re going to do so great… DM ;)

In case you don’t know, I want to own like 5 dogs. A basset hound and corgi top the list, but now I’m wondering if I shouldn’t add a shitzu to my list. Look at this precious thing we saw at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance a couple of weeks ago. She was so stylin’!
p.s. I saw Adrien Brodie at the event, too and he is haaaandsome! ;)
This past labor day weekend Rob and I spent every minute together. It was glorious. We pet-sit, chatted over coffee every morning, took long walks, enjoyed our little cottage to ourselves and treated each night as a date night. Don’t you just love date nights? We don’t even have babies yet and I so cherish these nights out together, just us. It’s so nice to give each other our undivided attention, without the TV, or computer, or iPhone pulling us away.
I got a surprise gift from work so we took ourselves out for an Italian feast and movie on Friday. We felt like we were back in Italy again at Cafe Mare. The food was AMAZING.
Saturday was another date night out, spent at the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery. Rob loved it and we ended up missing dinner because we talked our way almost to closing time. Thank God they had hot pretzels to order.
Sunday afternoon we had a date in San Jose. Every year for my birthday there is one thing I ask for. Shoes. And, I like to stock up:) We made the drive into San Jose to hit up a discount store, seeing that it would be one of the only weekends for us to go, and I picked out some shoes. Thanks for my early birthday gifts, Rob.
Monday we shared our date night with Heather with filet mignon and sauteed fruit over vanilla bean ice-cream. Delicious! {no pics}
Hope you all had fun this weekend – on the lake, in your backyard, watching football, or whatever you did!
I love September. And not because it’s my birthday month {he.he.}, but because we have a lot planned. Half Moon Bay, parents in town, Sonoma, pet-sitting, save-the-date invitation crafting and catching up on gifties to send out to friends & fam {I’m long over due on things!}. Plus, Fall is around the corner {and pumpkin pie…}.
The weather is supposed to be perfect this month, too and I’m excited to soak it up in my free time. Work is really busy for us both, as is life with dogs to keep entertained and exercised. I also want to check out the Santa Cruz library and see if it can compete with my old library in Arizona.
Here are some random shots for you, from our neck of the woods:
What do you love about September? … :)
