Pumpkin Carving

The Saturday before Halloween we drove to a few places claiming to be a pumpkin patch, but no, there were none to be found.  So we got some at the grocery store, then found the closest thing to a pumpkin patch a few days later.







This place had a sandbox with corn!




And a petting zoo.  With 3 animals.  





Colorado Halloween

Alec got a new car and we had to get it registered and do an emissions test in Colorado.  So why not make a trip out of it?  We had so much fun- like every time we go.  This weekend there was a Halloween party!  We also saw Gravity, ate Tokyo Joe's, shopped for Broncos gear, and went to two high school football games. 


As a last minute costume, Alec and I decided to dress as old people.  He stuffed a pillow in his shirt and got white hair and I wore his mom's dress that she wore in her engagement pictures!  How awesome is that?  Add some glasses and-  instant costume.

Caitlin and Courtney getting Alec ready.  



Here's the kicker- His dad dressed up as a "Metro Boy Scout" (complete with heels), and Bev was a hair/make up mannequin.  So hilar. 



And then we met Nacho.  


Happy Halloween!

365 Days

It has been one year since Alec and I had the conversation that changed our paths forever.  It's so funny to think of all the things we know now (a "vacation beard" is a real thing?)  and how different-but-the-same we were back then.  How I longed for a picture of us together, how waiting from Sunday to Friday for a date was so long that it was going to kill me.  So he gave me the best present he could- Cafe Rio for our anniversary.  Here's to many more!
