summer lovin’ happened so fast…











































and with the the ring of a bell

               … summer is over 

we were lucky enough for a beach trip to say goodbye to the summer of 2013
for me, the beach is always a good decision
the beach tops my list of favorite places to be
and places that feed my soul
it’s a consensus though
we both love the beach
thank you for all of the photo love again … you are all so kind. 

i spent yesterday getting a mani at polished nail bar (love), reading for hours at a coffee shop, and then went on a date with tim to our favorite spot- soul- now a short 5 minute walk from our home 🙂 

when i walked in, i instantly saw emily from the bachelorette to the right – there is a wall of intimate booths lined up next to one another- so when the hostess asked, ‘inside or outside?’ and i almost always pick outside- i said, ‘inside’ and… she sat us right next to her. we didn’t say anything- i feel like she deserves some type of privacy, but she sat a few feet from me on the booth the entire time and it looked like a first/second date… 

here are a few photos from yesterday: 

some of our favorite soul treats- we decided to indulge and ordered things that we didn’t during wedding prep: 

 spicy feta dip
french fries with olive oil truffle 
the napoleon sushi roll- i could eat this every single day. 


great day back to work- pretty crazy seeing your new last name everywhere…  
*it felt really good to be back … so nice to have structure again. 
i went into my word doc account and saw this… even though i loved the wedding process/our day, i def won’t miss all of the constant work. adios wedding work. 

*hoping for a great school year… lucky year 7~
and year 1 as Mrs. Monaco 

i plan to do my best to stay positive (even when encountered with negativity) and to give it my all every single day- while keeping balance in our lives and trying to live the most heathy, full, colorful life possible… simple- yet challenging-
 one that i will be proud to look back on. 

                             *recommend the items sold on the etsy site- simple october 🙂
