Wrap Up

I've been realy bad at following up with details from our weekend adventures, so here are the last 4 weeks in pictures.

Thanksgiving in Texas:
Alex the Turkey King / the only one who knew how to carve a turkey
Not that any of the meat lasted more than 3 minutes on the platter

Staring Contest
Ryman made a very dear friend in Mary West -- and her plate.

 


Is this not the cutest picture ever!? There's an ad campaign in here somewhere.

It was Ryan's birthday. I made the mistake of ordering him 1 girly shot, and was delivered one for each of us.

Mr. Fonty went to Toronto on Friday to check out a new artist.
While Mr. Fonty was in Canada, I finally met this sweet doll, Hunter Connolly.
And the most exciting news of the month... MONTY GOT ENGAGED!
Congratulations, Katie & Jim! So happy for you.
And Happy Birthday, Monty. You've got lots to celebrate in your 30th year!!
C'mon, can they get any cuter!?!
So there you have it. It's been a busy few weeks.

I have been anxiously awaiting this day all week. What are your weekend plans? I am finally home for a few days, and I plan on cleaning and organizing, visiting a friend's new baby in ATL, and spending some QT with Mr. Fonty and the Buddy. Perfect weekend if you ask me!

They carried the entire Chie Mihara line. The blue mary janes featured below are even more precious in person. It took everything I had to not buy 100 shoes.

Christmas Gift Guide: For ME!

I realized I forgot to submit MY Christmas list. (This is the actual list I submitted to my mom and the Mister, so that is why it includes plain white, long-sleeved shirts.) I hope you have this recorded to memory, Mr. Fonty... I think it is very practical. See Below:

Sweaters: When I pulled out my sweaters this winter I realized they were all either bally, stained, or cropped to embarrassing heights, so I really want a bunch of cozy, chunky sweaters.
Wedges: None of my closed toe shoes are wedges, and I need something I can stand in for hours at a show - Just trying to extend our whine-free QT, Mr. Fonty.
Bike: I've been talking about this since I moved to Athens. I've earned it.
Jacket: Maybe not the most glamorous choice, but I need something super warm and rugged for time at the farm, dog park, etc. and the zipper on my Costco jacket broke.
Kindle Fire: Totally a want and not a need. I am a little fearful I will stop reading books (one of my favorite things) if I have the option to watch a movie/tv (my actual favorite thing)
West Elm Accessories: I got the blanket for Mrs. Fonty, and have been coveting it for our chilly basement ever since. And how cute is the owl? I think he would look great in our grey accented living room.
Shuffle: I actually don't really want this anymore. I started using spotify on my iPhone for jogs and it is fabulous.
Moccasins: I have about 15 pairs of moccasins, guilty pleasure.
