where I've been

 oh blog...
 I miss you so much.

so sorry for the silence over here.
I know I kinda stopped posting mid-wedding, which is a pretty bad cliffhanger.

things got craaaaazazazaaay around here as my most giant event at work took place Halloween weekend,

& Jared knew to very quickly whisk me away to a little dream bed & breakfast in Richmond.

yep, there's photos, because it was a pretty precious little um, mansion.

we then spent our time getting ready for our photoshoot with Korie & catching up on laundry.

there are photos from the shoot. not of the laundry.

the shoot took place last week & was basically a dream...

but more on that later ;)

we've spent time with friends, 

we've spent time cleaning our apartment from top to bottom,

we've spent time staring into each other's eyes & congratulating ourselves on surviving our first married event season.

basically - it's been a good two weeks of r&r.

my goal this week is to finish out my wave of domesticity,

which has thus far resulted in dusting every surface in our home,

rearranging rooms, baking cakes & even creating artwork.

(you guessed it - photos on the way.)

& oh yeah - I'm creating a parade float for the local holiday parade. no biggie.

after the parade, life really will slow down.

no really.

it totally will.

thanksgiving is right around the corner,

& while it's completely befuddling that time has flown so quickly,

it's also the time of year that I feel the most alive.

I can't wait to spend some more time here in our blogging treehouse.

it's good to be back!

& with Christmas music on as I write!
it's the most wonderful time of the year, after all.

xo, kelsey
