non sequitur october

 so, the last time i blogged was way too long ago & i've seriously missed this part of my life. i've been ridiculously busy lately & this post will show only some of what i've been up to. since i'm lazy & tired (& feeling a tad under the weather) the following will be a bit out of order & a bit long.

this october has been quite a nice one. i've spent time with miguel as often as i could throughout the first half of the month because i knew that i wouldn't be able to the last half as i am substituting as a tutor for a friend who is getting married this sunday. very excited for the wedding : )

these first photos are from the pumpkin patch miguel & i went to. honestly we only went to take photos...haha. we only stayed about 5 minutes, but i love how the photos turned out.






 earlier this month i went on a lovely picnic with melissa. we made cheese sandwiches & melissa baked chocolate chip cookies. we ate on a vintage quilt & used vintage plates. we ate at my favorite park that has a beautiful white gazebo & is on an island. we had a fabulous time with our fuji instax cameras!




 i even drove my family's giant truck for the first time. i was a bit scared! but i felt really empowered when driving it!
 one time when miguel & i were shopping at h&m, we were taking advantage of the full length mirrors & taking photos together like sillies. he bought this blazer. i think he looks amazing! as dillon would say, "so dapper" ;)

 so, mayte (from the blogger family!) was going to be in my neighborhood this month, so miguel & i drove to the city to meet her for dinner. it was so nice to see her again! i was super excited & honestly a tad bit nervous. we had a nice time with good food. (later that evening was awful - next time we are taking public transportation into the city).
anyways, love his face here...


 mayte!

what's not shown in the photos is that:
  • i finally got hired! i work for the university of california as a set (science engineering & technology) program representative. i feel all important & grown-up with this new spiffy job title. hehe. i even have my own mailslot in the office.
  • i've been getting caught up with the walking dead girls
  • i've added the fault in our stars to my ipod & listen to it on my morning walks. so many of you have read it & love john green, that i've decided to give it a go. i've never read anything from him before. i'm on chapter 18. 
  • between my two jobs, it's been really hard to find time to work on my thesis. this is not good... :(
  • also because of my two jobs, i won't be able to go visit miguel until november...which is also not good... 
  • november, please be less demanding of me! it's gonna be my birthday month!!

  3. SO MANY PUMPKINS! Haha. You and Miguel. And the little picnic. All so cute. I'm so happy that you got to meet up with Mayte. And congratulations on your new job! I'm sure you're just ridiculously busy now, but hopefully you can still squeeze in some thesis time somewhere, and some Miguel time!

  5. We had the annual pumpkin chuck yesterday at RIT. Imagine that many pumpkins, just smashed and strewn across a field.
