A Busy Month

Well hello blog world!  I haven't been doing a very good job at blogging lately.  I've done a ton of fun stuff so I wanted to share it with you! The month of September was crazy busy and first weekend of October was more of the same : )

First we had our friends Steve and Kendalle's wedding on the Cape.  They had a full-on clam-bake! I've never been to a wedding like this, it was pretty awesome  And they gave out aprons so we wouldn't dirty our pretty outfits : )
 The delicious menu was your choice of a 1 and 1/2 pound lobster or rib eye steak with steamers and mussels, corn on the cob, sausage and red bliss potatoes.  Does it get any better than this?
 I mean look at this- how good does this look??!  I think all weddings should have clam bakes!!
 Later on in the month, I headed over to Elina's for a Blogger Get-Together mid-week.  Now if you know me, I barely ever go out during the week so a party in the city on a Tuesday was a little tough.  But I will always jump at a chance to hang out with these girls- Cara and Elina!
 There was a great group of girls there including Elizabeth, Meghan, Megan, Melissa and Bridget,  Shannon, Ranjani, Kerstin and Tiffany.  I didn't take many photos of the food, but there was lots of deliciousness. If you want to see more food, check out Meghan's post- she has tons of photos there : )
 The best part was definitely Elina's Monkey Bread Pepperoni Bread.  It's pretty amazing and I can't wait to make it myself.  I've made something similar, but using a bunt pan is the perfect idea since you can stick the sauce in the center.
Another highlight over the last month was celebrating my friend Michelle's 30th birthday!  Michelle is my first friend in my grade to turn the big 3-0!  Miche and I go wayyyy back- we were track superstars in high school : ) (There is an old school picture of us on my About Me page)
 Do you see our gift?  My friend Stephanie and I stole this idea of pinterest.  We think it's a good one.  30 lolipops in a bowl= 30 SUCKS!! heheh
 And the last special event I went to recently was our friends Laura and Pete's baby girls first birthday!!!! Little Lillian is the cutest : )
I've been busy over here and I apologize for the lack of blog posts and comments!  Hopefully I will get back in a rhythm soon!

Have you been to any special events lately?

    Two special events recently - one of my best friends got married (I was a bridesmaid) and my bake sale! That counts as a special event, right?

  15. You really have had a busy month. So glad I got to see you at Elina's. That pepperoni bread was amazing.

    And that wedding food looks incredible! I don't think I'm brave enough to have lobster at my wedding... even with an apron.
