Red Sox in ALCS

We would have given anything to be able to watch the ALCS games live at Fenway Park, but alas... we are poor newlyweds who live clear across the country from our favorite field. So we had to improvise!

Homemade signs helped to turn our apartment into the ballpark. The Citgo, John Hancock, and Coca-Cola signs are a Fenway must. Next was our own manual scoreboard which we kept up after every inning. 

It wouldn't be a baseball game without the concessions! Our own personal concession stand was equipped with popcorn, cotton candy, ice cold Coca-Cola, and of course Fenway Franks!

Last but not least a bowl of Dubble Bubble is needed for every dugout and a green blanket to cover the couch for our Green Monster seating.

Top it all off with a grand slam by Big Papi and a walk off by Salty!! 

What a great night! 

Go Sox!

Our own little Fenway

Say hello to our new miniature dachshund puppy.

Mr. Fenway Brower!

Lets just say that we are silly spontaneous newlyweds that on Devin's day off  ended up purchasing a puppy! Haha! Not quite sure what we were thinking there... but good thing he is super sweet and adorable! 

When we brought him home he was just under 3 months old and weighed 6 pounds. (Being a mini he will hopefully only reach about 10-12 pounds.) 

He loves squeaky toys, chasing water bottles, eating the fuzz off of tennis balls, sleeping on his back, tunneling under the bed, and meeting new people. Fenway is obsessed with paper and can find ANY tag! He hardly ever barks, except for when we pull out the dirt devil. He is my personal shadow and follows me incessantly; sitting on my feet when I stop for things like washing the dishes or doing my hair. 

This little cuddle bug has sure wiggled his way into our hearts!

Reunited in MA

We went to the Cape

We visited "Make way for Ducklings"

We walked in the Boston Commons

We ate delicious cannolis from Mike's Pastry shop

We spent a day on the beach

We had an authentic lobster fest

And we went to Prom!

(Just kidding - but we did get to see Janelle's little sister Alexis off to prom)

What could be better then visiting one of my most favorite cities to spend time with some of my most favorite people?! 

I dearly love these girls! We had so many laughs and had such a good time! It was like we had never been apart! 

I hope that we can continue to find ways get together for the rest of our lives! These girls are some of my very best friends!

21

I must say I had quite the 21st birthday festivities!! 

I had my very first birthday number pizza! 

It was quite exciting for me, too bad it only took me 21 years to finally get!

We tried out the St. George carousel! 

I'm a sucker for these kind of things so I was quite excited! Plus we had the whole thing to ourselves!

 Then I was surprised with a mustache birthday party! 
Mustache banners, "Name that Stache" game, balloons drawn with mustaches, a birthday cake decorated with 21 mustaches, chocolate mustache suckers, milkshake mustaches; this party was all mustached out! 

And to end off the fun day we made our own little BBgun shooting range by shooting the party balloons off of the back fence from our balcony.
The only bad part is we wish that there was more balloons to shoot!

I know it may sound cliche but the honest truth is that the very best part of my day was just having a good time with people who mean so much to me.

Tim Gunn

I absolutely adore this man! He's just so sophisticated and wise! I got to know him from watching Project Runway and I've loved him ever since! Tim is a celebrity that I'd die to even just get to see from a distance!

If you don't know Tim Gunn,

Or if you adore him like me,

then watch these clips:

He has a book out called: 
Gunn's Golden Rules
Life's Little Lessons For Making It Work
I have only read a small bit of it, but trust me that it is great! It's all about the importance of being kind and "making it work". It made me love Tim even more! I'll definitely be getting this book and reading it from cover to cover!

Anyways...
As much as I love Tim (which is a lot) this post isn't just about my love for him.


-----------------------------------

The other day I got a text from my sister saying that Tim Gunn will be speaking in Salt Lake on April 30th! 

I died!!

{{I bet you can guess where i'll be April 30th!}}

Here comes the sun

Without fail this song can always brings a smile to my face!

Enjoy!

I really just love monday nights!

Cause that means Jay Leno's headlines!

Sometimes they can be a tad bit sketchy, but for the most part they are quite hilarious!

So...

I've always loved and wanted a hedgehog! Ever since I was little! Is that just a weirdy thing?! But I just think they are so adorable! This little guy is definitely on top of my Christmas list this year! Who needs practical gifts like underwear, socks, clothes, money, school supplies, etc, etc?! When you could have a cute little friend and a snuggle-sack to carry him in?! As a matter of fact... I think hedgehogs are very practical gift!

Obsession

Shoes. They are just so fun to look at, and admire, and try on, and buy, and wear. It's true.... I'm obsessed. They are one of my many downfalls. This picture doesn't even begin to show how many shoes I truly have. Since my feet have stopped growing it's hard for me to ever get rid of a pair unless they are absolutely-unforgivably-unmendably broken. It's unnatural what shoes can do for me. They can make me feel fancy, sporty, casual, comfy, playful, relaxed, even business-like. They also bring me memories of times they were worn or when/where they were purchased. Shoes have been and always will be my friend!

Dear Mary Higgins Clark -

I dearly truly love you! How do you think up such intriguing plots? I get hooked and can't put your books down! "What will happen next?!" I'm a sucker for mystery novels, and I must say yours are the best I've came across so far! I have quite the collection of Mary Higgins Clark books on my self at the moment, and it's still growing!! I recently just finished Pretend You Don't See Her which was very intense! Basically I would like to thank you for you amazing talent of writing that you are sharing with the world!

Sincerely your devoted fan,

Aliza Randall
