A Gorgeous Wedding & Soccer

Happy fall everyone!  We recently returned from an awesome trip to western NY and Canada for my cousin's wedding.  It was a blast!  My cousin and her family planned a very special weekend for everyone.  It didn't surprise me b/c my sweet cousin is one of the most talented people I know. Below are some pictures from the weekend.  The weather was gorgeous - crisp fall days and cool nights.  As one who misses the leaves of fall, it was such a treat!  I did my last 9 mile run before the 1/2 marathon on a bike trail surrounded by fall color - so nice!  My cousin was a beautiful bride and her husband proud and gracious.  Much fun was had by all - and my family knows how to have fun!  If you have ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding - my family is similar to the Greek one, while my husband's family is the quieter one.  We are boisterous and lively when we get together and can eat, dance, and be merry for days before tiring.  My husband was a little overwhelmed by it at first, but 12 years of marriage has weaned him in well and he even outlasted me one night.  It was wonderful to see my cousins and my extended family.  Love them and miss them SO much!

The other thing that has kept us busy lately has been soccer. We are so proud of the Green Lizards - especially #2. They have a 3 & 1 game record so far. Below are some pictures of our soccer player. Hope everyone is having a great week!
