M.I.A. // One Year Anniversary

Hello blog, I know it's been almost a year since my last post, which is far too long to go without posting, but I've been without a computer and became busy with other hobbies and responsibilities... Things are finally smoothing out and I'm falling into a better routine now. This season in life I'm stepping into is so exciting, Inspiring even, so with all of that being said I am deciding to make a conscious effort to keep up with this space that I have missed so dearly.

It's my first post back and I thought I'd share some photos and memories of our one year anniversary trip to Flagstaff. We took two days off work, packed an overnight bag and set out for a mini getaway to a few of our favorite places.

We took the longer route because we had to stop in Jerome for hamburgers at one of our favorite spots. Tim and I actually had one of our very first dates there, so it was nice to return on such a special day. 

We got a room at the Hotel Monte Vista. Supposedly the place is haunted (I don't think it really is) but our room was beautiful, with a view of downtown. They have this great little bar on the corner of the hotel lobby called Rendezvous and it just so happened to be Mojito Monday, so after a quick drink we walked a couple blocks and had dinner at a sushi bar. It was such a beautiful night, just the right amount of chill in the air.

The next morning we woke up early to explore and have breakfast at Macy's European Cafe. I can't come to Flag without stopping in for a latte and food. If you find yourself in the area, Macy's is definitely a must! On our way back through the canyon to Sedona I asked Tim to pull over so we could hike down the side of a mountain. It was just before the monsoon storm, a few sprinkles and thunder in the distance, we found a creek and hundreds of furry caterpillars hanging on leaves. 

I can't believe how quickly this first year of marriage has flown by. I feel like it was just yesterday I was sharing my vows in a tearful whisper to the love of my life. Before I know it we will be celebrating a lifetime spent together, I look forward to that day, when I can think back to this first anniversary, how simple but so beautiful it was.

Busy Bee

I feel so guilty for not writing since early this month, but man-o-man have I been busy! So, here's a little update.. 

Yesterday was my best friend's baby shower, I can't believe the wedding is just shy of a month away and then few weeks later she will be having little Ezekiel! So many exciting things right around the corner, I think we're gonna have to double check that her dress still fits, haha!  

I have so much decoration making and preparations to do that I'm almost happy I got let go when I put in my notice at my job (yep, that happened). Wedding prep isn't the only thing that has me busy though, I'm also working on the launch of my very first business and getting all of our belongings packed up for the move to the boonies. I almost feel a little in over my head right now, but it's all so exhilarating! I've never been more ready for these big steps forward and being so blessed with support from friends and family helps oh-so-much.

I'm not quite ready to announce my business yet, I still have some details to iron out, but it is so much fun! Keep an eye out, I will keep you guys updated!

XO,

Kass
