I have been anxious to take photos in the creek at my favorite little photo place and hopping around from rock to rock really just put a smile on my face. I love acting like a kid sometime, especially after a long day at work. This outfit is quite different for me - I usually feel a need for a pop of color in outfits but today I stuck with neutrals and honestly, I love it. I think I want to experiment more with neutrals this fall.

I'm in love with this tissue thin Hello Kitty tee my mom got me for Christmas last year. I don't wear it often enough for the blog. I haven't worn it since December here.

There is something about September. The warm days with the chilly nights. The fact I can never avoid getting bug bites during this month. The change September brings along. I love the transition into hearty, yummy foods, and corn is one of my favorite ingredients. It's the vegetable that marks the slowing of summer to me as it really doesn't get good until late July through early September. When my awesome co-worker brought in some fresh corn from her CSA for me, I knew this was what I wanted to make. I made the recipe up in my head throughout the day and then tried it out. This recipe is full of my favorite things and really hits the spot It's delicious - just chowder isn't the most beautiful food to photograph is it?

Today I present you with the ultimate in corgi-ness, wearing my corgi sweater with my corgi. This sweater is a great way to put a smile on my face, and when I wear it to work, it keeps me happy when things get a bit stressful. These photos were a joy to take - the weather has been perfect. Everyone was out at the park - I got some strange looks, but honestly, I'm a girl in a corgi sweater toting a camera with a corgi and I'm constantly talking to Teemo during these so he stays in position. So this also could serve as a guide as how to appear to be a crazy person to everyone around you.

Teemo got tired at the end and laid down. Outfit photos are rough!

I believe I was meant to deal more with languages. I was a writer in high school and still have a lot of my writing up, studied multiple languages (which now means I can answer you in mangled Fren-anish-ese which is a French/Spanish/Japanese mess with the one phrase in German I remember), and am always the one who 'gets' what one is saying despite it making no sense. I stopped writing as a creative outlet years ago simply because all that beautiful teenage angst left, and no one wants to read mushy love poems about how perfectly normal and great my relationship with my husband is. I focus more now on the people I can connect with - and that's why I am so thankful for the friendships I have gotten through blogging. So thanks everyone for having these pseudo conversations with me - I've been loving it.

This scarf is one I hand knit over lunches at one of my favorite jobs I have ever had. It's a wonderful alpaca blend yarn - only issue is it rolls like crazy - but I still love it. Also - I decided I hated the ankle straps on these shoes, so I cut them off. I'm much happier now.

I should also mention that these photos are taken under a bridge in the smack darn center of a two way street in a not-so-nice area in Harrisburg. And my husband doesn't worry about me.

While my mom was in town visiting, we took a trip down to Gettysburg and drove the auto tour route while listening to a mix of civil war inspired songs on Pandora. Gettysburg is a really amazing place - all the rolling fields and trying to imagine thousands of people fighting on the land is really quite strange. The monuments erected all around are intricate pieces of art that seem to watch over the endless fields. I always feel a bit strange visiting places of war - I'm not quite sure how to act or write about them. So I'm going to stop myself on that note and show the pictures.

What started out a nice sunny 80 degree day quickly and suddenly fell into a sub-70 degree stormy central Pennsylvania. My mom came for a visit this weekend, and we spent the sunny part of the day out in Amish country, then returned home to stay away from the rain and watch movies while cuddling Teemo. Once the rain calmed down, Teemo and I went on a short walk at the park before the rain picked up again.

I'm pretty much obsessed with this adorable pin from Missy's etsy shop sugarcookie.

I guess at some time I have trouble realizing it's September already and that this weekend is over. It's strange, really, to think how last September I was so antsy to move, but I never truly anticipated for that to happen without my husband. Our time together is never long enough, and we always seem to have such a wonderful time together. We spent our last day finally seeing the Dark Knight Rises, getting some yummy food at Tijuana Flats, and cooking a meal together. It is really easy to fall back into our old routines which I truly love - Jason getting up and getting me a drink, me asking Jason to do something for 10 minutes straight while he ignores me and reads his iPad, falling asleep on the couch, and all the other good and bad habits we have. Strange though - things that used to really annoy me now don't as much. As much being key here, Jason, I know you'll read this. I've hated these past couple months, but I also see how they have had their benefits for us and our relationship.

We took a walk, without Raynor as she is staying for a week with her grandparents in Celebration, and took some photos after our movie. Jason was surprised to see me in shorts - but this outfit was perfect for after Disney lounging.
