Another Very Good Year

Some of you may remember the little timeline I made last year to commemorate our first year of marriage. Well, I've decided to make it a tradition! So without further ado, here is a snippet of our second year together:

Wanderin'

You have, no doubt, been checking this little corner of the internet EVERY DAY since April, wondering what has happened to your favorite trio of shenanigan-doers, no?!

Well, the first 6 months of 2013 have been just too chocked-full of adventure to keep up...

We've set foot in 11 states (collectively) and hopped across the pond for the dreamiest adventure in England and Scotland (which I hope to post about someday soon). We crossed an exciting amount of stuff off our Life List in the first half of this year, and we can't wait to see where we'll be off to next! 

A New Year is Here!

A glimpse at my 2013 Calendar, Fancy Fauna!

January?! Where did you come from?! Sneaky...

We had a White Christmas in Indiana full of sledding, snowball fights, snow-tinis (yep, drinky drinks made with snow), cozy fires, loving friends and family, tasty food, and a whole lot of weeping (Ren, not Ben) during Les Mis.

Now, these lovebirds are trying to get back in the swing of things and see what 2013 has in store! 

A Very Good Year

When I originally started this little piece to give to Ben for our anniversary yesterday, I began with a timeline of the big milestones from this past year, but then I got to thinking... years from now, we will probably still remember all those big events, but the memory of our day-to-day life will be foggier. So, I decided to capture a glimpse into the little details of our very first year together so that someday, many years from now, we can can look back and smile and say "Oh yes! I'd forgotten about that!" I was so inspired by this first try that I hope to make this a yearly tradition!

Owl-oween

Just reliving the glory of our costumes from 2 years ago... maybe they will take flight again this year? (PUNS!)

Fairest Fair

The delightfully crisp air that has overtaken Nashville was the perfect backdrop for a magical evening at the Tennessee State Fair.

Some people go for the rides, some for the fried "food," some for the exhibits... I go with the hope of meeting a friendly alpaca or two. This fair did not disappoint as I had ample hang time with not one but THREE alpacas, shaggy goats, tiny sheep, momma and bebe mules, super stylin' ducks and an ear-less goat (see bottom right... WHAT IS GOING ON THERE!?!?!)

I was thrilled to find the only stand at the entire fair selling Elephant Ears (apparently a Midwest-exclusive treat?) and Ben got his Swanson on whilst devouring a giant Turkey leg.

Thrilling pig races and Kenyan acrobats were the icing on this Blue Ribbon-worthy cake.

Happy September!

Happy supposed fall season time! We refuse to let the sauna outside dampen (pun intended) our autumnal spirits!

Kitty comfort

Is there anything better than coming home to an adoring, cuddly Pip?!

Well, maybe for Ben who gets to come home to an adoring, cuddly Pip AND Ren.

Happy 30th!

Happy 30th Wedding Day to my marvelous parents, Steve & Darlene Maus!

Thanks for getting married so I could exist.
