Crazy October

I can't believe we are about to turn the page on the calendar into November next week.  I don't know where October went.  In late September, after coming back from Chicago, we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.  It's hard to believe it has been four years already.  We have done so much in those few years!  We celebrated the way we usually do with a cake!  The first couple of years after we were married, we got our anniversary cake from the baker who did our wedding cake.  However, last year, we found out that he moved out of the state.  For the last two years, we have been trying to find a new favorite baker for our anniversary cake.  We haven't quite hit the mark yet. 

A couple of weekends ago, we celebrated another wedding with some friends of ours.  I was honored to be part of their wedding, and stand up with the wedding party.  I also got the chance to do their wedding flowers.  It was great to have the opportunity again.  I have to say, I miss being able to do wedding flowers on a regular basis.  The weddings colors were yellow and blue with sunflowers as the theme.  I think the flowers turned out awesome, and we had beautiful weather the day of the wedding. 

 I used medium sunflowers, viking mums, blue delphinium and variegated pit.

It was an outdoor wedding, and the sun was not cooperating during this photo. 

The rest of October has been filled with work, work, and more work.  Andrew took off for a week for work, and I seem to be filling my weeks with my regular full time job as well as my part time gig at Kirkland's.  With the holidays right around the corner, and the likelihood Andrew will get pulled to another state to help with peak season, I will be spending my spare hours at Kirkland's.
