Tale as old as time

We are headed home to fort worth after a glorious weekend with the Pickett/Russwurm fam in Lubbock. We got to spend lots of time with family, and even got to visit baby Kameron Edwards and our dear friends, his proud parents. He was an absolute lamb and I could have held him for hours. AND we got a sweet surprise when the Tatums were in town, too! Such a great time with the BFFs.

Tatums, you look like naturals with that babe!

Drew directed his highschool's fall musical, Beauty and the Beast, and it was incredible. So much detail and talent. We were so glad to be able to attend since we missed last year's (it was the week before our wedding). I even got to meet my favorite little character, Lumiere!


Don't mind my blushing mug... I wasn't embarrassed at ALL that Drew had told him I thought he was adorable.

After the show we stayed up super late laughing and talking about everything from the Virgin Diaries to Beanie Babies. So many laughs. So many, in fact, that my MIL popped a blood vessel in her eye! Anyway. I so wish we lived in the same town as all of these precious friends and family. This weekend was so perfect in every way, and the worst part was leaving, as usual.

We need to hit the ground running when we get back to our little apartment tonight because the move is upon us! 6 days until the movers come and haul our stuff out of our first home together in to our new place. We're really excited, but there's just lots and lots to do. And of course I'm feeling super nostalgic already about the move and packing up our lives and all of the stuff we accumulated through year one of marriage... Yikes. I've got to finish a couple of stories for my fiction class, and Russ is 2 finals away from being done for the semester. Then the move, and then.. Our first anniversary!



This has really snuck up on me. I can't believe we've been married a whole year. Maybe I'll throw up a little recap of the year at some point, but for now I'm just excited to celebrate this year and us. (And have a break from unpacking for a little staycation). I can't wait!

I hope your holiday plans are going smoothly and you're taking time to enjoy this season. Happy Sunday!
