A few weeks ago we got some engagement pictures done by the lovely Samantha Rizzo. We drove up the beautiful Alpine Loop at just the right time when the leaves were all changing colors and were beginning to fall. It was super duper cold, and it was literally impossible to get us to make any serious faces whatsoever. We were laughing the entire time because we always feel so awkward and cheesy taking pictures, plus a good half of our relationship is just goofing off, so big props to Samantha for actually getting some pictures of us being somewhat normal. Here are just a few of them!! CANT WAIT TO MARRY THIS MAN :)

When it gets cold outside, the leaves are falling, and Thanksgiving plans are beginning to be made, there are two things I want to do. 1. Snuggle up on the couch and watch Elf (even though its not Christmas time yet, I know, don't hate me) and 2. BAKE! One of my all time favorite desserts is pie, especially apple pie. After trying all sorts of different apple pie recopies, I merged some things together about some and figured out my own little recipe :) I made this one for our little roommate dessert party last week and it was all gone pretty quick so I think it was a little bit of a hit!
