a fun fall day.

Saturday was filled with all things Fall...see?! :)

 went to a pumpkin patch with the bestie and her momma in napa. 

enjoyed all the beautiful pumpkins && the colors. 

goofed around in our cute shoes. 

basked in the beauty that is Fall && enjoyed some carmel apple cider from starbucks. Mmm!

&& then ended the evening glittering our cute pumpkins, I made a Mrs. Clark one. So cutee! Oh, how I love all things Fall. 

Hope you had a fun Fall filled weekend 
&& have a Happy Halloween!!!

&& Happy Birthday to my wonderful stepmom Heather. Hope your day is amazing! Xo. (isn't she cool to have her birthday on Halloween?!)

genius.

isnt that a cute idea?! totally going to re-create this in our apt. brilliant huh?! now, ill never run out of room for all my necklaces. so genius!

 Anyways, Have a fun Halloween Weekend all you blog friends! 

I am going to spend it watching some of my favorite Halloween movies such as: Hocus Pocus, It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and eating too much Halloween Candy!!! 

What are you going to do?

let's talk about shoes.

current obsession: rainboots. 

these from here.

and these from here.

oh, how i love TARGET! you, better believe i am getting these. :)

did i tell you that i am in LOVE with these new cozy shoes i got? well i am!! wear them all the time.

cute right?!

how do you measure love?

i would love this print in my kitchen. from here.

it's titled "how do you measure love?" and that got me thinking about love. i have been so blessed in my life with people i love and who love me dearly. i sometimes take that for granted. being in UT last week with dan was pure bliss and now im back in CA without him, and it sucks. i am having a hard time with being away from him, this time. i think its because we are close (4 months) to being husband and wife. i cannot wait for the day when we arent separated by 699 miles. it will be BLISS. 'til then i need to remember all i have been blessed with and all i love. :)

Ps) March is coming quickly and I will soon be a Mrs. So, I need your help bloggers with coming up with a new blog title for our blog once we're married. So, let the ideas flow. haha! thankss.

another sneak peek.

while in Utah we had our Engagements taken by my cousins lovely wife Valory Jean Dahlin. They are basically amazing and I cannot wait to see the rest, and cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding.

wanna see? well, here ya go. :)

like i said, they are amazing!

oh and how could i forget to tell you blog friends....

I SAID YES TO THE DRESS....yep, I found my wedding dress. It is perfect. It was the first dress I put on, and I knew within like 4 seconds of wearing it. That, it was THE ONE! Where is the pic?! Is that what your thinking? Well, of course I can't show you, Daniel would see. Duh--and we cant have that!!! haha. So, you will have to tough it out and wait just like, Dan has to!

bailey rose turns 4.

My niece (to be)Bailey aka Belzzaroni turned 4 years old while I was in Utah. So of course, we celebrated. Gosh, I love this little girl and am glad I was able to be apart of her day. I was even able to be apart of Brooklyn's (my niece to be, too. baileys sis) 6th Birthday in May. I love them both so much, and cannot wait spoil them rotten til' Dan and I have our own children. :)
