A day with lil ol’ me {& my iPhone}

{I’m going to preface by saying my old iPhone takes horrible pics!}
 
6:00 a.m. – wakey, wakey; let the pups out, make coffee.
Lucy likes to take her sweet time so I wait until she comes scratching at the door.
Kibble and green beans for the dogs:
Get ready:

7:15 p.m. – Before my eyes started getting heavy, I went for a run.
9:30 p.m. – After some blog reading, I put myself to bed with a warm cookie from the oven and Game of Thrones. It’s getting so good!
Thanks for stopping by & Happy Friday! 
Life, weekend

Weekend of date nights

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!

Lately

September is here {yay}

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? … :)
