IT’S OCTOBER! When I think “October,” I think pumpkins, football games, mustard-colored clothing, roasted pumpkin seeds, corn mazes and apple cider. Also, this year I’m esPECIALLY excited for fall because I think I’m *finally* started to understand fall fashion! Target has this amazing selection of colored skinny jeans and, after overcoming my aversion to skinny jeans, I bought three different pairs in red, purple and pink. And because this year’s fall fashion involves throwing colors together that I never would have thought could match (purple and yellow? who woulda thunk?) I can wear whatever colors together that I want and no one can judge me!

As always, lessons learned/things that transpired over the weekend:

• Target now carries pale pink skinny jeans. And they’re only $23!! You’re welcome. My next trip back will involve acquiring the mustard ones. Yesss!
• Lily had a few bouts of “time to upchuck EVERYTHING” last week. It was super fun [sarcasm]. It was especially fun when we couldn’t feed her (due to her nausea) so she scavenged around on the floor for anything she could find- fibers, dust, etc.And then she threw all of that up too. AWESOME.
• I tried shooting a roll on my Contax during Robbie & Juliann’s ceremony this past weekend, but it was SO LOUD that I could only get a few frames off before I had to stop. Then I shot the rest of the ceremony with my mk3 set to “silent” shutter mode. So that sort of balances things out, right?
• Robbie & Juliann’s DJ played Gangham Style, so for the second weekend in a row I was trying to photograph + dance, all while laughing hysterically. I’m not sure how well those shots will come out…
• We had lunch at Jimmy John’s yesterday- it was my first time there. All I have to say about it is that I will never be satisfied with Subway ever again.
• There’s nothing more hysterical than your six-year-old niece telling you her favorite song is “Careless Whisper.”
• I’m getting better at this whole “cooking” thing! Last week I made a total of three meals for Matt and I. The most difficult part for me is getting my stuff together enough to get to the grocery store and shop for the entire week’s ingredients. Once I get that taken care of though, it’s smooth sailing. Last week I made fresh stir fry, tacos, and potato latkes. Sooo good!

And here’s a preview from Robbie & Juliann’s wedding! I’m so so so excited to share these on Thursday- y’all are going to drool over their portraits!

Happy Monday!
