I love the food we had at our wedding. When we first started planning our wedding, I asked Dave if anything was important to him and he said FOOD! He wanted BBQ and that's what we had, ribs, brisket, smoked chicken, mac & cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, and corn bread. For the hot hors d'oeurvres we had his favorite, meatballs, and my favorite, pierogies!</div>

This last photo was actually taken during the reception. Our photographer, Leeann, grabbed us and said that the sky was really cool and we need to get more pictures now! Dave said he wishes he grabbed his jacket, but I like it without.</div>

There were things I thought up and scrapped because I didn't have time, but I'm glad I managed to do so many of them.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I saw mugs similar to the ones I used on pinterest and I purchased them slowly over the course of planning the wedding. I was super excited when I found these dishwasher safe chalkboard labels. I labeled each one of these. After the wedding I found a glass mug similar to these with a chalkboard label already on it for about the same price. Oh well!<br />

So Pittsburgh has this thing called the cookie table. Long story short, many cultures here in Pittsburgh, not sure who did it first, started having a cookie table at weddings. All the women of the family would bake cookies for the wedding in case the couple didn't have enough to have cake for everyone. For my sister's wedding, I was maid of honor, and I put together a cookie book. It was a book of all of the recipes of the cookies on the table and who contributed those cookies. My friend Heather (from <a href="http://amaryllis-musings.blogspot.com/">Amaryllis Musings)</a> made the book for me.</div>

Dave and I still say looking back, that our wedding was the best! There's nothing I would change. I don't know if everyone cares to see all of these photos, but I'm still excited about them almost a year later!<br />

Here are some snaps of us getting ready:<br />

I just have to start with that. My sister managed to book us a cabin at <a href="http://www.7springs.com/">Seven Springs Mountain Resort</a> about an hour and a half from Pittsburgh for my Bachelorette weekend last February.<br />
<br />
We had an awesome view from our front door.<br />

A few of us went snow tubing the first night.<br />

As a side note, the cowl I'm wearing that I wear ALL THE TIME skiing/tubing was a gift from the lovely Sara, scf1270 on ravelry. It is the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/scf1270/burberry-inspired-cowl-neck-scarf">Burberry Cowl here.</a><br />
<br />
The rest of the first night involved good food, good drinks and Cards Against Humanity. I can't ever remember laughing that hard.<br />
<br />
The next day some went to the spa, some stayed in the cabin and knit and some, including me, went skiing.<br />

I love skiing and I got my good friend, Dianne, to get back into it. Let's hope we get a lot of skiing in this year!<br />
<br />
The second and last night we went to the bar at the base of the mountain, The Foggy Goggle. Apparently, and I was very excited to find this out, it was 80's weekend. The music that night was awesome!<br />

These photos were stolen (with permission) from various facebook pages. I didn't actually take very many photos. I always forget. It's terrible.<br />
<br />
I had a great time and can't say how great my friends are. I hope I can have weekends like this more often without it being my bachelorette party!<br />

<br />
We got out engagement photos done last year at the end of September. Our photographer, Leeann from <a href="http://www.leeannmariephotography.com/">Leeann Marie, Photographers</a>, was/is amazing.<br />

I love our city and it was nice to take photos with the city and the background. Pittsburgh has so much to see and so many cool areas. This was the first part of wedding planning that made it seem like, "Hey! We're going to get married!" It was exciting and fun. There were a ton of photos that I loved, but I was trying to not have picture overload.<br />

We had all sorts of running around on Saturday which included getting the puppies a haircut. Then, we had the opportunity to go to the Pen's game.<br />
<br />
Hockey games in Pittsburgh are always fun. We were given company tickets since we both work for the same company. It was a very new experience for us. There was a special parking space we got to use and we got passes to go up and see the company suite.<br />
<br />
This was the view from the company suite:<br />

We did not win, boo! We did have a great time though. It is always nice to do something together. Dave is going back to work soon. His radiation is wrapping up.<br />
<br />
On Sunday we managed to get our puppies to one of the malls for their pet night with Santa. I've done it every year since we got Toby. This year's picture is the best in my opinion.<br />

I love my puppies. Santa kept saying they were so well behaved (HA! We fooled him!).<br />
<br />
<br />
This week is going to be amazing. I can feel it. I've taken days off around Thanksgiving so I'll have a nice long weekend starting on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
I'm going to see if I can start putting together some posts from this past year that I missed.<br />

I have plenty of finished items to show you from this past year, but I'll start with a work-in-progress Wednesday.<br />
<br />
<br />
My main project that I've been working on is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/garden-house-baby-blanket">Garden House Baby Blanket.</a> I chose colors a little different than the pattern. I picked 3 greys and a pink (although my dad claims it is purple not pink) of <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/berroco-vintagetm-dk">Berroco Vintage DK</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span id="goog_1282403877"></span><span id="goog_1282403878">The colors are Smoke (2106), Cracked Pepper (2107), Charcoal (2189), and Elderberry (2159) from left to right.</span><br />
<br />
Since I need to plan everything, I played with color placement in Paint and I settled for using the pink in the middle and using Smoke at the end as well as the beginning. The pattern originally called for a 5th color. By using Smoke at the end and the beginning I use each color equally.<br />

I'm loving it and it is turning out larger than I thought. So it was originally intended to be a gift to my niece, but I might keep it and maker her something else. My sister loves it and really wants it for her baby, but if she pesters she definitely will not get it (hint hint Missy).<br />
<br />
So there's my first WIP Wednesday in over a year! What are you working on?<br />

We had the option to go on the field, but the last time we did that the sound was really bad because of the speaker placement. My friend Ashley was on the field and she got a few good photos.<br />

We went to New River Gorge in West Virginia. There were 7 of us and we stayed in this super cute little house that had a hot tub! There were all kinds of things to do in the area that it was kind of hard to choose what to do!<br />
<br />
My sister Missy took a selfie on the 3.5 hour drive.<br />

On the first full day we were there, 3 of us, Missy, Brandy, and I, went on a bike ride. That sounds simple, but we had a guided tour on mountain biking trails. I've never been mountain biking before. Turns out 14 miles of hills CAN be fun!<br />
<br />
A lot of these photos were taken during breaks, because we needed a lot of breaks.<br />

I'm glad I did that bike ride because I felt so accomplished afterwards. It was hard and I did it! I may have a few bruises to show for it.<br />

This was a jam packed day because there's more. We went zip lining that evening. We did the <a href="http://adventuresonthegorge.com/adventures/aerial-adventures/gravity-zip-lines">Gravity Zip Lines</a> and the longest zip was over 3,000 ft long! Supposedly we got up to 50mph. Four of us went zip lining that night, the three above, plus Andria.<br />

We zipped around from treetop to treetop and went on a few bridges too. This one was a blast too!<br />

I can't say enough how much fun I had on this trip! It was great! I would definitely go again. We didn't stay on the resort, but the <a href="http://adventuresonthegorge.com/">Adventures on the Gorge Resort </a>was pretty cool. We'd consider staying in a cabin there.<br />
<br />
I got a tshirt from the shop at the resort. I figured it was fitting since we did the zip lining tours. I don't usually like shirts that just say a location across it, plus this shirt is that dryfit materia.<br />

The group of girls I went with are pretty cool too! Some of them are my soccer teammates and the rest are soccer wives.<br />

<br />
I showed you the baby blanket I had started for my new work friend Becky in August, during my last <a href="http://notyourgramsafghan.blogspot.com/2014/08/wip-wednesday.html">WIP Wednesday post</a>. The blanket only took me 2 1/2 weeks! I was a machine with this blanket. I was just so excited about it. <br />
<br />
I think it turned out great!<br />
<br />

I'm really contemplating making another blanket with this yarn, maybe held double or triple for extra squishiness, for my living room. It just matches my furniture so well!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I did a double think border and it helped me make the back just as pretty as the front. It hid all of those ends!<br />

I really love how this blanket turned out. I can't say it enough.<br />
<br />
Details:<br />
Pattern: No pattern really, I was inspired by this project, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/wolletron/noahs-blanket">Noah's Blanket</a>, who was inspired by this blanket, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/cbdom/hoodie-baby-blanket">Hoodie Baby Blanket</a>. For the border, I used the border from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/coastal-hoodie">Coastal Hoodie</a>.<br />
Yarn: <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/lion-brand-vannas-choice-solids-heathers--twists">Vanna's Choice</a> in colors Dusty Green, Linen, Silver Blue, Taupe, White, and Dusty Blue (border)<br />
Needle: US 8 - 5.00mm<br />
Size: 33"x35" - I always worry that baby blankets are going to be too small and then end up bigger than I anticipate.<br />
Time: 2.5 weeks!<br />
Ravelry: <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/samie1914/baby-boy-stripes">Baby Boy Stripes</a><br />
<br /><br />
I gave the blanket to Becky last week and she loved it! She keeps raving about it and how her mother loves it, so I'd say she is very knitworthy. She kept saying, "You spent so much time on me!" I think I binge watched 3 seasons of Lost Girl while I mader her blanket. She laughed that I measured it in TV seasons. I heard that is how some famous knitting guy measures how much time he puts into projects. I think it fits!<br />

We used to be on the 5th floor, and I was very lucky to have a window seat. This was my desk:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eR4W2yqx3bo/UnPxw6leMAI/AAAAAAAARcE/3VTabB77n2E/s640/20131101_142338.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_873072="null" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eR4W2yqx3bo/UnPxw6leMAI/AAAAAAAARcE/3VTabB77n2E/s640/20131101_142338.jpg" fua="true" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This was the only photo I could find of my old desk, besides a lot of bottles needing to be recycled, you can see I have tons of pictures up and crochet garland that a swap partner made me. The window was behind me while taking this photo.<br />
<br />
Now, this is my new desk on the first floor:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVbBvIpXYSw/U9Zi1DL91GI/AAAAAAAAV5g/VEx6NGRGUwA/s640/20140728_104811.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_873072="null" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVbBvIpXYSw/U9Zi1DL91GI/AAAAAAAAV5g/VEx6NGRGUwA/s640/20140728_104811.jpg" fua="true" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It is a little messy because I took this photo while I was unpacking. You can see that the walls of my desk are much shorter than the old ones. No one was looking forward to going to this new furniture. Plus, you didn't have a square, you had half a hexagon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UCA8puF2KEY/U9aWj05f7SI/AAAAAAAAV6U/O7G9a71v0sw/s640/20140728_141353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_873072="null" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UCA8puF2KEY/U9aWj05f7SI/AAAAAAAAV6U/O7G9a71v0sw/s640/20140728_141353.jpg" fua="true" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is the view behind me. You can see how the pods are hexagonal. My one big plus to the move is I have even more windows!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y7L0aohT-Os/U9aXE5wKQhI/AAAAAAAAV6g/DvXuUa1ljvE/s640/20140728_141403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_873072="null" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y7L0aohT-Os/U9aXE5wKQhI/AAAAAAAAV6g/DvXuUa1ljvE/s640/20140728_141403.jpg" fua="true" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I really thought I was going to hate the move, but it isn't bad. I liked that I got a fresh start and got to throw a ton a stuff away. I like the new person who sits behind me, Hi Becky! It does get a little loud sometimes with the low walls, but it really isn't THAT bad.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the summer, I told you about making the decision to get healthier. My sister and I were makign weekly goals. I did really well over the summer. I've lost about 12lbs. I've gone down a pants size, it probably would have been two sizes, but the size I was in when I started was really tight.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w6ey7xl599U/VANNChbS0HI/AAAAAAAAWag/at2tJRBxJxw/s512/IMG_20140831_122744%3Anopm%3A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_873072="null" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w6ey7xl599U/VANNChbS0HI/AAAAAAAAWag/at2tJRBxJxw/s512/IMG_20140831_122744%3Anopm%3A.jpg" fua="true" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
While I was making these new and better health decisions I found a website to follow called <a href="http://shrinkingkitchen.com/">The Shrinking Kitchen</a>. I've tried a few of the recipes already. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://shrinkingkitchen.com/berry-muffins/">Berry-licious Muffins</a> are amazing, I made them 4 times in a row. They recipe says that they are 147 calories per muffin, but I got more muffins out of each batch. My muffin were about 125 calories a piece.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ooMcQWomcBk/U-Lbr_xJbZI/AAAAAAAAWCY/dPfvb3KU9yw/s640/20140806_215125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_873072="null" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ooMcQWomcBk/U-Lbr_xJbZI/AAAAAAAAWCY/dPfvb3KU9yw/s640/20140806_215125.jpg" fua="true" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My dad made the next recipe, but it also from The Shrinking Kitchen. We made <a href="http://shrinkingkitchen.com/easy-weeknight-lo-mein/">Easy Weeknight Lo Mein</a> and it was healthy and delicious!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nCbw9fIvRp8/U96FIopVG1I/AAAAAAAAV8o/zGVNuxL63VM/s640/20140803_145305.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_873072="null" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nCbw9fIvRp8/U96FIopVG1I/AAAAAAAAV8o/zGVNuxL63VM/s640/20140803_145305.jpg" fua="true" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It was only 286 calories a serving! Ours might have been a little different, we added more of the veggies. I would definitely make this again, my only problem is that Dave is picky! So, I'd be cooking for one.<br />
<br />
The last new recipe we tried was <a href="http://shrinkingkitchen.com/lightened-up-spinach-lasagna/">Lightened Up Spinach Lasagna</a>. I thought it was really good, but my dad said he could taste that we used skim ricotta cheese and skim mozzarella cheese. He still said it was good though. I didn't get a picture of it.<br />
<br />
Do you have any good healthy recipes? Do you have weird furniture at work? :-)<br />

I don't have an updated photo of my English Garden Hoodie, but I've actually reached the underarms. I've started on my first sleeve as well.<br />

I started a little hoodie for Owen. The pattern is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rr-hoodie">R &R Hoodie</a> by Tanis Fiber Arts. I think it looks so cute, and I actually can't wait to do the zipper. This is what I have done so far.<br />

I'm using <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/caron-simply-soft-solids">Caron Simply Soft</a> in color Autumn Red. I figured it was best to use up my old acrylic stash on Owen, so my sister can just throw it in the wash and not worry.<br />

<br />
My most recent project is a baby blanket I started for a woman at work. She sits behind me in our new pods and she's really sweet. She's having a little boy, so I decided on these colors out of <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/lion-brand-vannas-choice-solids-heathers--twists">Vanna's Choice</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The colors are Silver Blue, Taupe, Linen, White, and Dusty Green. Only after I took this photo did I realize that they matched my chair and pillows perfectly. I might have to later use this yarn for something for my living room.<br />
<br />
I've been speeding along and this is what I have done so far:<br />

<br />
Thirteen stripes in about 3 days! I got the bulk of the stripes done on Sunday and then three each on Monday and Tuesday.<br />
<br />
I'm going to use the color Dusty Blue for the border.<br />

My nephew didn't exist then, my sister wasn't even married, and Dave wasn't diagnosed with cancer yet.<br />
<br />
We drove from Pittsburgh to Myrtle. Dave and I were in one car, then my parents in another, then Missy, Rob, and Owen in theirs. My parents and Dave and I, decided to stop halfway through at a hotel. Missy and Rob drove all through the night and got there at 5 am! This was their sunrise selfie.<br />

We had a great time, and they were here for my birthday, July 10th.<br />
<br />
Everyone was so sweet on my birthday. We went out to breakfast. I got all sorts of cool things for my birthday. I got new soccer shorts, a Team USA women's soccer jersey, a new hair straightener, and yoga gear!<br />

After breakfast we went to <a href="https://www.kennywood.com/">Kennywood</a>! Kennywood is a local amusement park that I haven't been to in a long while.<br />
<br />
The lines actually were not that long because we went on a Thursday.<br />

<br />
I'm not very good at taking pictures at Kennywood because you are constantly moving and doing stuff. We actually went to our local water park, <a href="https://www.sandcastlewaterpark.com/">Sandcastle</a>, the day before my birthday, but I have zero pictures from that day.<br />
<br />
The day after my birthday we went shopping,<br />
<br />

There was a mat involved in the above picture for someone to be taller! :-)<br />

We managed to cram a lot in a week and it was a blast!!<br />

The oldest thing I have on my camera that I had wanted to share was the 4th of July. So, why not?<br />
<br />
Dave and I went to an area of Pittsburgh called the North Shore (its the north shore of the rivers) for the 4th of July. They have all sorts of cool stuff going on.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was a really great 4th! I love fireworks and they put on a really good show! There were so many people down there that we hung out in the casino for 2 hours after the fireworks and we still sat in traffic to get home!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, I'll show you some photos from when Dave's family was in town and my birthday!<br />
<br />
Current news though, Dave had his 6 month scan last week. Yesterday the doctor told us that it was clean! Still no cancer! Next scan will be in November!<br />
<br />

We had already not finished 2 different 30 day challenges. On the first week our goals were:<br />
<ul>
<li>No pop</li>
<li>No candy</li>
<li>No fast food</li>
<li>Exercise 2 times no including our soccer games</li>
<li>Log food/exercise</li>
</ul>
It felt great to finally try and do something whole heartedly about the weight I gained since Dave first got sick. I didn't gain quickly, it happened so slow over the past 2 1/2 years that it was hard to notice. At my highest, when I weighed in on that Monday I had almost gained 30lbs! So my starting weight that day was 177 and my goal where I felt good and happy is at about 150.<br />
<br />
The app my sister and I have been using is <a href="http://www.loseit.com/">LoseIt</a>. I have been logging everything I eat and all of the exercise that I do. There are a lot of similar apps and they are all very comparable. We really chose LoseIt because my family has used it before.<br />
<br />
After 3 weeks of short term goals each week I'm down 9lbs. I'm just excited to see progress. It makes me so happy and determined to keep going.<br />
<br />
I've added yoga a few nights a week to my 1-2 days of soccer. My sister, my friend Candice and I have decided to try a couple challenges. We are keeping each other motivated. The ones we chose are a squat challenge and an Ab challenge.<br />

<br />
The ab challenge is from back in February, hence the cupid and hearts and such.<br />
<br />
It feels good to be getting back to my active self. Dave and I went to hit golf balls at a local driving range. Dave wanted to see if it would hurt his stomach (5 surgeries in 2 1/2 years leaves some tummy pain) to swing a golf club. He took it easy and did very well. I think we can go golfing on vacation! He said he thinks he hit it straighter because he wasn't trying to hit the ball super hard. The day was beautiful and hot! I got sunburn from 1 hour there.<br />

The view wasn't too shabby either! You can see the city in the distance.<br />
<br />
Last week, my boss set it up so that my group volunteered in the morning on the 3rd. That way we could eat lunch together and then get out early for the 4th of July holiday. We were cleaning up the road near our corporate office. If I've never mentioned it before, I work with Heather from <a href="http://amaryllis-musings.blogspot.com/">Amarylis Musings</a>.<br />

We walked a whole bunch that morning and it was hot. I was a sweaty mess. Our company has a big partnership with the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. So the Pirate Parrot came to visit, help, and film a video.<br />

Heather and I helped him put on a safety vest. He was a good sport!<br />

It's not quite where I want to be, but I'll get there!<br />
<br />
I don't know if I'll ever get back to this, but this is me rock climbing back right around when Dave and I first met 6 years ago.<br />

Dave and I have been together now for 6 years. It only seems like yesterday that he almost broke my finger during a super competitive game of air hockey...on our first date.<br />

This photo is actually how we figured out when our anniversary was. A few months into dating, we realized that neither of us knew when our first date was. This picture was taken the day after our first date and it was taken on June 24th, 2008.<br />
<br />
We've had a ton of good times...<br />
<br />
We had only been dating a month when a bunch of us went out for my 23rd birthday.<br />
