The best part of owning a home is definitely the nights I get to sleep outside of it.
I spent this weekend hiking up to the top of Sedona’s Wilson Mountain with a few friends, where we took in the views over Backpacker’s Pantry dinners, braved the brutal mountaintop winds and sipped coffee while staring out at some absolutely insane views.
After six months, a lot of sweat (mostly Ryan’s), a lot of tears (mostly mine) and an unsettling amount of blood (again, mostly Ryan’s), we have a functional kitchen in our house!
Despite how busy March seemed to be, I still found some time to read a few books this month.
Some better than others.

Not only did Ryan and I finally got our shit together enough to take our engagement photos…
We also got our shit together enough to order and send our save the dates.
Honestly, a miracle we actually got them sent out before the wedding at the rate our lives are going.
OF course there was a touch of a fiasco involved in the whole process.
So, now I’m here to tell you no matter how much you want to save like $30 and no matter how cute and retro you think postcards are, do NOT use them as save the dates.

I didn’t get as much reading done in February as I did in January, but I’ll blame that on it being a short month.
Parenting has to be hard. Obviously I wouldn’t know — the idea of me having kids is laughable — but after spending an extended weekend with Ryan’s brother Derek, and my soon-to-be nephew (Braxton) and niece (Adler), I’m even more convinced parenting is not for me.
Sorry mom and dad.
Derek, Braxton and Adler were able to escape the beyond frigid temps of the midwest late last month to fly out to Arizona for an extended family weekend celebrating Ryan’s dad’s birthday — first up around Flagstaff and Williams, and then downstate in Phoenix and Casa Grande, which is Ryan’s hometown.
That’s it, that’s the post.
Ryan and I recently checked our MOST anticipated box off our wedding planning to-do list: Cake tasting.
