home sweet home.

be prepared for the most random post ever. i was too lazy to go into detail about our escapades over the past couple weeks, so they are all smooshed into one post. 

anyways, the last couple weeks have been a little bit crazy! the beast and i have been gone to reno last thursday through sunday and then in phoenix monday through friday, so it feels like we have not been home in ages! as for mementos of those trips, unfortunately, i only took two pictures, and only because it was my dad's birthday, so this is what we have to document those voyages: 

we made grandpa ding dong's for his cake and did not want to share. 

reno was excellent. my craft fair was fun, always nice to be inspired by other people's amazingness lol 

and then, phoenix was super fun! we spent part of the week with grandpa, zak's ultimate favorite person, mom went shopping and bought all of her christmas presents while he napped, and my favoritest roommate and i saw breaking dawn at midnight in our pj's. it was so fun! 

oh boy, that sweater i bought is not very flattering at all. i swear my arms are not that big. 

then we came home, and pawned off the kid to go on a date with some friends. and it was awesome. 

 aren't they so cute?? 

one year ago this weekend, we came to san francisco to interview for dental school. ironically enough, it was pouring just like last time, so to keep with tradition, we decided to go to dinner at the same place we went last year and it was amazing. 

this was our picture in front of it last year, preciousnesss..... 

i will admit that it was so much more enjoyable without our child there. it's nice to get out and do things without him every once in a while. especially after having him by myself for almost two weeks. i think that we will keep up our tradition for the next few years we're here, because it was really fun to go back and see how much has changed in a year!! 

and for your viewing pleasure, our child has now decided he loves wearing my shoes. especially the sparkly ones.  feel free to judge him based on this picture. i laughed immensely when i saw what dad captured. 

and why not complete the outfit with mom's jacket as well? i can tell he's going to be a dress up loving kid already. 

well those brief pictures sum up the last several weeks for us, i should get better at posting soon!

 next up: our christmas decorating we did tonight! =)
