weekend

the best part about living in LA is all of our friends who live down here too!

this week we got to see friends, had visitors, and a facetime session or two.

we are the luckiest!

we love having richie and sarajane living down here! 

we had the best beach day and picnic at santa monica.

hello LA!

who gets to spend their first summer 
married living by the beach??
we are so happy here in los angeles 
and excited for the next few months of TFA training.

this weekend we hit up the original LA farmer's market at 
fairfax and 3rd, which is the best! in every city we 
love finding these kinds of places with a 
million different types of food...so we were happy 
LA has a good one. we walked around and after lots 
of perusing we finally picked a place to get 
some breakfast burritos. i am so indecisive with food 
when there are so many good choices, but we definitely 
picked well...and chase was patient enough to let me
check out every stand before we decided-
despite him being starving from our run!

later we headed to santa monica to beach it all day 
and to shop & stroll at 3rd street promenade!

we ♥ LA!

date ♥ night

nothing in the 

w o r l d

is better than 

date night

with this cute

husband of mine.

our goal is to have date night every single week 

so that we always keep dating and courting each other! 

this week date night involved...

pad thai (our favorite), followed by trying a new 

frozen yogurt place (our other favorite)...

the dinner, dessert, company, and city made it a perfect night.

happy friday!

SF adventures

we're loving this week in san francisco...it's so fun 
to be in the city where we'll be living for the next 2 years!

our week included shopping in union square,
strolling through fisherman's wharf,
eating our favorite caramel chocolates at ghiradelli
square, sampling at the ferry plaza farmer's 
market, touring the maritime and boudin museums, 
and of course stopping by chinatown!
thanks hubby for my new tory burch wallet!

 

we leave tomorrow to train in LA all summer,

but then luckily we'll be back for good in august!

so long for now san francisco...

ferry plaza farmer's market

we love the ferry building

down on the embarcadero in SF,

and we love it even more now that we

discovered a farmer's market on 

the plaza during the summer!

there were lots of yummy samples,

my favorite being the 

basil-coconut homemade ice cream.

i wouldn't mind if we used this place as our grocery store!

the adventure begins...

today we arrived in 

our new city for the next

two years! we will be here

for a week looking for housing

before heading down to LA
for the summer to train. 
then we'll be back in the
bay for 2 years!

we're excited!

wedding dinner

a few details from our cute rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding...

we can't wait to get our wedding pictures back in the next few weeks,

but for now here are some from the night before! thanks to
my cutest mother-in-law for making this night amazing!

 

shelley helped every detail i had imagined happen.

pink peonies, personal table numbers, classy cream

and tan accents, and the perfect venue with incredible

italian food. we were so spoiled on this night!

 we came up with creative table numbers that
meant something significant to us!

our family and friends gave tributes that i'll

 remember forever. i'm so grateful i have it all

recorded thanks to my brother! what a special night

on the eve of the wedding. loved it all!
