Steve is Back! (and we went on vacation)

After two months Steve is now back from is internship. Hurray! It is a fantastic thing to be married and actually be in the same state as your spouse.We celebrated by using PTO and going on vacation. We went to Carmel, CA and also to Santa Rosa, CA (to visit my family). Here are some pictures of our trip. I don't want to bore you with details, so let me just say that it was very relaxing and we had a lot of fun.

We were in a seaside town, so of course we went to the beach! We walked there from our rented cabin, and we walked back barefoot!

Steve put a flower (well, technically it was a cactus) in my hair.

When at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, we rode the "bumper cars of the future". Steve and Beth (Steve's younger sister) are looking at the camera, I am not.

This ride looks fun but it was actually kind of boring. I wish we had gone around more times.

Beth and I rode the lift across the park. Beth was kind of scared, but she did well. I thought it was very relaxing. I could ride these kinds of rides all day!

Loving Clothes...Sometimes

I have a love-hate relationship with clothes. Sometimes they are too big, sometimes they are too small, sometimes they make me too grungy for an occasion, sometimes they make me too formal. And most of the time I don't even really care about what I am wearing. But sometimes, you look into your closet and you think, "Hey, what if I put this with this? Would it work?". When it doesn't work, it makes you late for work, but when it does works, that is when the magic happens. I always have a good day when I feel like I look cute!

Midnight Fashion Shoot

At the end of the weekend are you ever in denial that you have to go to work at 8am the next day? Do you ever stay up late hoping that if you are up late enough you will magically have one more day added to your weekend? I sometimes do. (But I always go to work Monday morning.)

One night in particular I found a skirt of my sister's and we decided have our own dress-up, I mean, fashion shoot session. It was a lot of fun! (See below for details.) And sorry for the picture quality. It was late, the camera was old, and the lighting in my apartment is always bad.

Shot #1:
Posing in a bean bag by the fish tank. I am wearing my sister's skirt, my shirt, my belt, my hat, my shoes and my earrings. Très chic!

Shot #2:
Dancing! Added boots and a scarf for flare (boots and scarf are also mine). Shot #3:
I decided to wear the skirt as a skirt just to mix things up.
Shot #4:
My sister absconded with my hat.
And then I was exhausted and ready to go to bed.
