Laura's Month of October via Instagram

Since we basically skipped over the months of September and October on the blog due to our busy schedules, I thought it was time to get back on track with my brief monthly updates. 

So here is my October through Instagram. 

 1. We celebrated Kristin's baby shower for her little girl on the way! (Kristin is my cousin and Katelyn's big sister)

2. October always gets me craving those southern comfort foods, so I made some homemade chicken pot pies. 

3. Katelyn and I attended the Wolverine FNO event at GRBC hosted by Tieka and Ryan. 

4. We finally had a coffee date for the first time in months. It's so rare that our schedules allow us to meet up anymore. 

5. I visited Chicago with my friend Stephanie to attend a concert. I'm all about the fringe boots and JD. 

6. Steve and I went to Lewis Farm Market to partake in some festive activities with my parents. I love that place.

7. I bought a mandolin. How nerdy, right? I love playing that little guy. 

8. I flew down to Nashville for a quick 48 hour trip to meet up with my husband who was down there for the week.

9. We received our wedding photos back from Trisha Marie Photography and they came in this cute package!

 

WHOA, November, you're up next! Let's see what you've got.

HELLO, November!! I can't believe you're already here, but I will do my best to embrace it. This must mean Christmas is right around to corner.... 

The month of October was jam packed full of fun things. It was mainly full of wedding planning and sharing ideas for DIY projects to come. It felt awesome to get so many big and important things out of the way off the bat, so that I can focus on getting my man to the U.S. :)

1. During ArtPrize, there were several food trucks that lined the streets of Grand Rapids. Steve and I indulged in some gourmet tacos. 
2.  I asked my god-daughter, Avery, to be our flower girl in the wedding. She is the daughter of one of my very best friends, Whitney. 
3. The leaves started to change and fall at the beginning of October, and everything started to look magical.
4. I SAID 'YES' TO THE DRESS! 
5. I made a lot of pumpkin baked goods. These were the mini pumpkin pies I shared here. 
6. We took a road trip to Minnesota for the Texaco Country Showdown. After the competition, we stayed out too late at the bar and made friends with the other musicians. 
7. I saw Minus the Bear in concert. Again. 
8. I created boxes of goodies to propose to my bridesmaids. All 8 accepted! :)
9.  Syrus was Batman for Halloween. All the kids that came by for trick-or-treating loved his costume. 

So there you have it. October in a nutshell. 
 I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and even better month of November. 

xoxo,
Laura
