Fourth of July!

this is one of my favorite holidays! i'm bummed that I don't have exciting plans this year. I thought we were doing inventory at work today so I couldn't plan a party. so here are some of my favorite pictures from my awesome party last year!

Rose's Halloween Costume

after way too much consideration, i finally picked out a halloween costume for rose.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!


i think the hat is the best part.

when i put it on her in the backyard i was doubled over laughing! so cute!


when she runs the wings flap!!! it's so hilarious. she doesn't mind it actually. she was running along the fence barking at our neighbor and she looked like a gremlin. perfect!
the tree at the end of our driveway is starting to change color. i love it!

it was payday so we went on a little date. this is merridee's. i can't believe we don't go here more often, it's cute, and cheap, and no hour wait like the other restaurants we frequent on the same street.


grilled cheese and frozen fruit salad. which is fruit and whipped cream frozen pretty much. yummm.
(as you can see we cheated on our 28 day vegan diet for date night)

then we did a franklin ghost tour with brittany! i've always wanted to do one.



it was so fun and creepy!!!! i loved it. our guide was awesome. i'm going to get my parents a certificate to do the history tour for christmas.

today: in great detail

a sandwich masterpiece

i made this really awesome sandwich today and i wanted to take a good picture and tell you about it, but i was so excited to eat it that i only took this crummy one. but i'm going to post it anyway.


it was a rosemary bagette, and i put some earth balance and vegenaise on it, then melted some garlic paprika jack cheese one it, added some veggie bologna and baby greens. on man it was so good! travis and i sat on our back patio and ate them.



she loves eating greens apparently! she went crazy for them and wouldn't stop eating them! she is also crazy about carrots.



what a sweet little thing!



i bought a pumpkin today! i'm so excited for fall!


the other night i met marissa and kyle downtown for this "live on the green" concert series thing. most of the bands aren't anything i want to see (sixpence none the richer? five for fighting?) but dr. dog was the headliner! i was very excited!


i stood behind some really enthusiastic boys with ironic facial hair and one kept putting his ponytail in my face! but other than that it was awesome. after the show we walked a block to kyle's office to kill time while we waited for traffic to die down. so we watched youtube videos for an hour and a half. it was so fun! drunk history and lots of cute animal videos. omg have you seen the ikea commercial with the cats! i'll give it it's own post because it's the BEST commercial i've ever seen!
