As I mentioned before, I took a little break. November was a good time for me to attempt to relax a bit. I reread one of my favorite novels, traveled, spent less time on my phone, did some writing. It was great! Not instagramming has left me with a collection of delightful little things that have happened over the past month, and because I'm usually terrible about going back and blogging things, here are a few snapshots of what I've been up to. Some of these photos will probably be expounded on in later blog posts (probably... haha!)
Chasing fall in North Carolina... The last few days of gorgeous colors!
Oh, and I got to see my best chum Anna for a few days!
While up in the air, I flipped open my American Airlines magazine and saw this article. While in Normandy last June, I had the pleasure of meeting these men and their group from the AirPower Foundation in a tiny restaurant one night. Americans have a way of attracting other Americans. It's because we're all loud. Ahem. It was such a memorable experience, Captain Frank Padilla, after grilling Anna & I on our motives for coming for the 70th Anniversary of DDay, presented us with commemorative coins made for the event. If you ever want to see it, just ask, I always carry it in my purse. Be warned, asking to see it means that you will have to endure my long winded stories.
Rita's Italian Ice in Naples, FL. One of the best things I've ever ate!
My magazine cover came out!
After slacking off on running for about a, um, er, year... I ran the 5K Turkey Trot. My time was decent. At least for me, and it was the first time I've run 5k without stopping! Races are so much fun!
This guy, however, has not been slacking off in the athletic department. He's not a runner, but his overall fitness level from Crossfit had him placed 2nd in his age group.
Our first big snow. And very scary road conditions.
Welcome to winter in the north.
A very simple Thanksgiving table. I hand sharpigraphed (sharpie marker + calligraphy-ish skills) the place cards. Next time remind me to give myself a few days to get that done. Hand cramps!
Trimming the tree with these cute elves!
Public Service Announcement: both of these attractive people are single and on the twitter,
I'm still not cool enough to hang out with the twitter crowd, but if you are, you should follow along. @BrookeAlline and @danielrpowers
Ugly Sweater Party games! Marshmallows and chopsticks make for a really good time!
Sweaters!
And, last but not least, the gorgeous styled shoot that I worked on with friends last march, was finally published! You can read more about our "Wedding Brunch at the Hunt Club" on Wisconsin Bride Magazine & Kathryn Grace Photography.
