news from the weekend!

SO - I had a very thrilling post about guacamole planned for today. BUT my boyfriend ruined all that by... proposing to me! So exciting - we are engaged!!


Jarrod surprised me early on Sunday morning (yes, early) and it was certainly a surprise! Of course I had to use our pug Bowie to help me model. 

Afterwards we went to brunch at the lovely Grand Concourse in Pittsburgh. So delish. It's right on the river and has a lovely view of the city. It was super sunny about but freeeeezing.



Look how trapped Jarrod looks. I'm awkwardly grabbing his hand and he looks nervous haha. Also love how you can see how waiter in the reflection. What a pic.

It was soooo bright outside so the buildings look like ghosts. And my right hand looks like an awkward corpse hand and/or weird claw. 


Of course I had to do my nails later so I could get a facebook appropriate picture! So excited and can't wait to share more details (if/when we figure them out) with you all! But I do promise this won't turn into a 100% wedding blog!

Hope you guys had a good weekend too and I have more (less life-changing) things to share with you the rest of this week!!

A Happy Wife in New Orleans
