life the past month

it's been a bit of a busy month for me.  between traveling for the new job i started a few months ago and all of the fall activities, i haven't been keeping the blog up-to-date... i'm sure all 12 of my followers are highly disappointed. {sarcasm}.  i'm really looking forward to the next month because i'll be traveling to california!!  here is a collage of pictures from the past month:

and baby makes 3!

no, not for me!  but for my surrogate big sis, emily (aka em1... i'm em2, naturally).  em1 and her hubby, sean, are expecting their first baby, a little boy, at the end of october.  i was excited to celebrate the mama-to-be at her baby shower.  i can't wait to meet lil' pumpkin!

 i love how fall-like this picture is
