August:
I flew to Boston for a business trip and thoroughly enjoyed the old, charming hotel, the harbor ... and the conference room. A delayed flight, on my birthday no-less, only meant more time to explore the city and enjoy the view. I <3 Boston. A birthday flight on Southwest airlines isn't complete without the entire plane singing Happy Birthday and the flight attendants making me a crown out of peanuts and stir sticks. #truestory
Too bad Pugsley ate my crown the next morning...
The Mister and I then flew off to Minnesoooota to visit his dear Grandma and cousins. It was so much fun to explore the city where Travis was born and spend time with his family. We even went to the county fair where I decided that a baby goat would be the perfect playmate for the puggle. The demolition derby was an experience I'll never forget... or repeat... but the Mister was loving the redneck party!
We ended the month with two fun weddings (where the pic below was taken) and an anniversary trip to a Brazilian steakhouse. Nothing says love like a vegetarian going to a steakhouse...

September:
I definitely missed all of this month -- it feels like it never happened! The Mister was home, trying his best to guard the home(s) from the epic floods that hit CO while I was off exploring Europe. To sum up the trip, I went to Iceland (airport -- still very cool), London, UK (business), Amsterdam, NL (business), Heidelberg, Germany (fun), Lucerne, Switzerland (beautiful), and Milan, Cinque Terre and Florence, ITALY (amazing!!!). It was an wonderful adventure that I'll never forget -- though I did miss my little family back home.
Wine tasting in the Chianti region of Tuscany!
It's officially Fall! I made my first batch of pumpkin cookies tonight -- the jury is still out on whether or not they're actually good -- and the menu prep has started for Thanksgiving. Craft projects are underway and the fire-pit has now officially been used (for s'mores!). Bring on the sweater weather!
