mini vacation

Feet have currently touched back down in Kansas. 

I must say, that 4 day vacation was pretty great and I really wish I could just fly around the United States every weekend. How great would that be?!

So a few things went down while Jeff & I were in Boston visiting my oh so fabulous aunt. One item was even crossed off of the bucket list {celtics game}.

I would have a lot of pictures but sadly, I left my camera behind on accident. Story of my forgetful life. However, here are a few to recap our mini vacation to New England. A big {huge} thanks to my aunt for everything. She is a pretty darn special woman!

Day 1

Celtics v. Pacers
New York Style Pizza
Drinks/Music

Day 2

Newberry Street
Dressed up  & went to dinner @  a fancy  restaurant to celebrate our engagement with my aunt's {uh-mazing} friend

(pictures locked away on the camera that resides in Massachusetts at the moment...sad, sad)

Day 3


Traveled up to New Hampshire & Maine
I married the IPhone 4S & Siri. Our love is undeniable.

iphone quality-sorry!

hahah. love it.

Day 4

Packed up & headed home to God's country

It just amazes me every time I travel how nuts it is that you can fly anywhere...ANYWHERE in the United States in just a hop, skip, and jump. It blows my mind.

P.S. does anyone else count swimming pools and baseball fields when they are flying?

Feels good to be back and can't wait to catch up reading blogs and get busy with mine!

one year ago

One year from today, was a pretty special day.

It involved  freezing, lots of running, and a day in New York City.

It was filled with Christmas lights and Christmas cheer.

One year ago from today, I was standing {freezing my bums off-might I add} on the top of Rockefeller Center as Jeff asked me to be his wife.

I can't believe it has been that long. A year I've been engaged. So much has gone on in a year. So many changes. But through the strides and struggles, I couldn't be happier to have such a man by my side.

To say I'm blessed, would be an understatment.

So thankful for this day...just one year ago.

engagement pictures

Get ready for some picture overload! I can't even tell ya how excited I was when I got the little notification from my friend on facebook that I had been tagged in a few pictures. A whole album of little ol' Molly & Jeff. You may or may not get tired of our faces by the end of this post. P to the S the quality isn't as good as the originals, but you get the point!

this is the bar we "met" at...this picture just makes my life. haha.

"falling" in love

Okay so I know y'all are just dying to see this hilarious picture my friend {who took our engagement pictures} just sent me. I'll definitely post {normal} ones when we get them back. She rocks. Fo sho.

Cracking up, still.

Jeff is just so high on life and I'm just so...frozen. For some reason Jeff hates his face in this picture but I just can't figure out why because it cracks.me.up. As Jeff would say "here's to falling in love". ;)

my world

Three years....seriously?

The three very best years of my life.

On  November 1, 2008 the Fiance & I happened to cross paths.

Again.

The time I would get liquid courage to chat with the handsome guy.

And on November 1 I found my ticket man. For life.

The past few years we've had a lot of highs, some lows, but always a lot of love.

We have had our GREAT days, and our frustrating days.

We have left our other half for 9.5 months and made it.

It was hard. {Still is} Really, really hard. But we did it. Because we have each other.

And forever....is just not long enough with you. Hopefully you can handle me that long ;)

Happy 3 Years to the man who has and continues to make all of my dreams, and now our dreams....come  true.

If only we could spend this day together.....

Love you to the moon and back papa bear.

And it's 11/1/11....that has to be some sort of luck :)

 

fiance returns, for good....sorta

Yet another wonderful weekend with the best family in the world.

I really can't get enough of them. Which is probably why I try to make it home whenever I have a chance. To me, there is just no greater thing than the gift of family. You betcha bottoms when I have a kid I want my family to be a HUGE part of that little wee one's life so it can get all the love I have received from them.

& I would be that person that would be perfectly content being my parents neighbors until ... forever.

I love my family. More than anything in this world. Even more than buffalo sauce. Yes, my love is pretty darn intense. I'm sure all of you know that though, I talk about them about once a day on here.

Poor Jeff, his ball went into the pasture on one hole.

Anyway.

Fiance came back to Kansas. About gosh darn stinking time. Right?

And it's for good this time. Sorta.

I will get to see him every single weekend {mostly} until we move in together after we get married next August. That news makes this girl extremely happy and feel like these past 7 months dragged on long enough. The team is back together, watch ouuuuut.

We spent the weekend golfing {me watching}, eating, drinking, hanging out, having lunch with Jeff's mommasita, enjoying the beautiful weather, and checking out the venue we are going to use for our wedding! {more on Wedding Wednesday}.

side note here: some how beer gets into a lot of my pictures but the funny thing is I hardly ever drink anymore. So no worries, I'm no alchy. Just an occasional drinky drink here and there.

The weather is absolutely PERFECT right now and wish it could be like this every single wingle day of my life. Fall is by far my favorite season and for some reason I have a feeling it won't be here long before winter storms in. Kansas weather never likes to keep the nice days long. Bummer. Oh well, I will enjoy them while they are here! Bring it on swearshirt weather & bundling up.

Now let's make this week speed on up so the weekend can come yet again. 3 weeks to go in my student teaching too! Can't lie, I'm ready to have my own classroom or own "office" when I do school counseling, this sharing business is for the birds. The kids aren't too fond of listening to three different teachers, and I wouldn't be either.

 Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and have a great Monday!!!!
