One of My Favorite Places on Cape Cod is the Brewster Store.

(or the Brewstah Stowah, as locals call it)

Some of my earliest memories of going to New England took place at this old general store.

Loading up paper bags with penny candy, putting a dime in the "dime-olodian" and listening to the music play, walking on the old creaky floors and looking at all the random merchandise.

If you happen to be visiting the Cape anytime soon, this is a Must-See! It totally captures the quintessential New England spirit.

This place is magical.

It Won't Be Long (Yeah!)

...Till Dan comes home!!

After two long weeks of training in Pennsylvania, Special Investigator Workman will be back home in Provo!

I'm going to pick him up at the airport tomorrow afternoon.

Who can tell that I'm excited?

Jenny is the Friday Favorite!

WooHoo! Jenny is officialy my favorite person today!

I NEARLY died yesterday.

On Wednesday nights I have a class at the BYU Salt Lake Center.

Yesterday was the first time I drove up by myself (usually I have a handsome husband escort).

So I pulled onto i-15 and tried to adjust my rear-view mirror.

Tried is the key word.

Instead of tilting it to facilitate better rear-view-vision, I pulled the entire mirror off.

So I ended up driving up to SLC without the familiar "eyes in the back of my head" in the middle of rush-hour.

Good Thing I'm such a good driver!

(Just kidding, I'm pretty lucky!)

Can I Dress like Her, Please?

I recently discovered Glee on Fox and absolutely LOVE Emma's wardrobe. I love the clunky necklaces and delicate sweaters. Now the question is where to get these cute clothes from!

Dan has his wardrobe idol, and now I have mine!

possibly one of the coolest web sites.

Look on further than Target.com's Red Hot Shop. Each month they show off "chic, unique and sometimes off-beat". So COOL! Check it out!

My personal favorite - the Singing in the Rain shower curtain, which is sadly, sold out.

this is why i love fall.

It's kinda sad that pumpkin is only in season for two months a year. Oh well, I guess I will make the most of it.

By starting with this delectable looking recipe from my favorite Real Simple.

Hello, I'm Special Investigator Workman...

Dan starts his job with USIS tomorrow!

Training for 2 weeks here in Utah.

Then off to Pennsylvania for 2 more weeks of training.

P.S. We are really enjoying Mad Men. We've tried to model Dan's wardrobe after theirs!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Ok so it's a little late, but I did have a really good 21st Birthday Celebration.

Dan woke me up with quite a few presents that he picked out himself.

My brother Ethan had spent the week with us so he was also there for the festivities, and he gave me a really pretty pink shirt!

Dan's parents gave me a one year subscription to NetFlicks! A year of great entertainment?! Who could ask for anything more! Dan and I already have watched a couple of movies and are on Disk 3 of the first season of Mad Men.

My mom sent me a new LeSportsac (A tradition) but this time it was a wallet instead of a purse! Something I've been looking for for a long time. I've gotten one of these great handbags for nearly every major holiday for about 5 years. I have quite a vast collection and sometime I will devote an entire blog post to my love of LeSportsacs.

Then we went to the Provo Farmers Market in the morning and then in the afternoon Evan (Dan's Best Best Friend) came over. Dan and Evan made me a great cake with homemade cream cheese frosting. Then, CJ, Meghan, little Baby, and we all had a little celebration. It was a pretty great birthday and I'm happy to finally be 21.

Setting Up Shop

One of the best things about getting married is having a place of your own. I love our little apartment - Especially my red kitchen!

The (Nearly) Finished Living Room.

This is what it looked like before we organized. We Are Pretty Lucky.
