weekly wrap-up: i heart autumn

I just really love autumn.  Here in Vancouver, we've been blessed with one of the most beautiful autumns I've ever seen.  Full of sunshiny days, and colourful leaves that don't seem to want to leave their trees...it's been perfect.  

And I stumbled upon the most magical red and white giant mushrooms on my way to church, I almost didn't believe they were real!

This week was also full of lovely notes from my roommate, and writing letters to dear friends!

I always take the railway train when I come home for a visit, and I absolutely love it.  Maybe it's the Harry Potter fangirl in me, but I always dream that I'm on my way to Hogwarts.  And this week I was surprised by the most beautiful sunset occurring over the river, which was so special to see!

And, as usual, I've been spoiled with treats since coming home...including cupcakes!

And today we remember all of the men and women who have served our country, and those that continue to do so.  The photo above is of my great-grandpa, who served in the army as a mechanic in world war II.

Lest we forget.

weekly wrap-up: a wedding weekend and back to routine

What a crazy and wonderful week I've had!

Here's an official photo from the wedding!  The Nickersons were the photographers for the wedding, and were so much fun!  They are a husband and wife team, and were pros at making everyone feel so comfortable!  Check out a few more photos from their sneak peek HERE....and we'll be sure to post a link once all of the final photos are up!

The rest of this week has been extremely low key.  I was sick for a few days with a very strange migraine/dizzy situation....and then it was back to farm work.

I had a super nerdy moment while weed-whacking our cornfield.... I found part of a tail light for one of my dad's tractors, and since I had no pockets I just shoved it into my harness.  I may or may not have felt a little bit like Ironman...

(please don't judge me.)

I've also been using my instant camera and holga like crazy!  I must say that the expense of film really makes you think about each shot so much more than digital does.  I line everything up and make sure it's perfect before pressing the shutter...and when it pays off it's so worth it.

My mom picked up some salted caramel biscotti from Costco, and boy is it good.  I love the crunch of the biscotti, the slight chewiness of the caramel, the sweet taste of chocolate, and finally a hint of salt to top it off!

And so my obsession with salted caramel continues....in fact I'm eating some as I'm writing this!

I hope you've all had a lovely week!
