Thanksgiving is over for me- or so it feels. My family's annual Thanksgiving Tahoe vacation has come and gone. It was so nice to get away for a few days and not have to worry about work or school or wedding stuff. Oh wait. I did do homework, and I did do wedding stuff. Well, 2 out of 3 is ok I guess. It was beautiful at the lake, and there was some a little bit of snow on the ground, but boy was it C.O.L.D! I took the Nikon up with me in hopes of getting the cliche lake shots and maybe do some other stuff so on Saturday I woke up at about 5:30 and drove down to the lake. It was sooo cold and I wasn't well prepared- flip flops.... anyways it was cold. I got my tripod and camera all set up and was waiting for the magic to unfold (which felt like a few hours but was really only about an hour and a half) and while getting some landscapes I met the cutest dog ever and his scruffy owner. The dog was actual a boxer puppy named Cornelius Clark :) So as they walked away I snapped this picture. Cornelius was having a grand time sliding around on the ice.

By the time I left the beach I couldn't feel any of my extremities, but I did however get my cliche shots. On Sunday I was down at the marina getting some shots of the boats and docks and what not when the camera broke. One minute it worked and the next it didn't- stupid kit lens! So that was the end of my photographs for Tahoe which was very disheartening. But we still had fun playing pool, board games, scarfing down food, and watching football. I LOVE our tradition!

Other than that there is not much news. AJ and I returned home to find our bathroom sopping wet. Apartently there was a plumbing issue before we moved in that they thought was fixed. Which we found out today was not fixed. As much as that sucks it felt so right to come home to our happy little apartment. Normally after our family vacations I go back to my house and Aj goes back to his- but this time WE went back to OUR home. I love living with Aj. And I love being engaged; it is so much fun!!! Here is an old picture of Aj I took awhile back- he was giving me 'pensive'.

The only sad thing about coming home this time was that we took Moose back to my parents. My poor girl was getting restless in our apartment and we didn't feel it would be right to keep her pent up when she was so used to having 5 acres to roam. So I miss her a lot- even when she would keep us up at night by pawing our faces or biting our feet. I thought of her today when I was going through some older pictures and found this one. She is a weird little cat!

And that's it for now. Not too much on the wedding front. Asheena picked out her dress and Katie is going tomorrow to pick out hers. I changed my colors for the last time and we even know what we want our cake to look like. Next step is finalizing the caterer and dj (not my area) and the photographer (my area) which should happen later this week. I'm so excited to have found someone so passionate about photography!!

Peace easy lemon squeezies!
