A beautiful trip to Brett’s family’s farm in Nebraska just became even more special… we’re engaged!
The setting, the deep fall colors of the soybean and corn fields, (and the ring of course!) completely took my breath away. I’m feeling so happy, excited and incredibly blessed.
It’s safe to assume this post will be the first of a flood of wedding finds and ideas… let the planning begin!
I loved this story about Chaplain Paul Shaughnessy praying during battle.

In the penthouse of an uptown Manhattan loft, I found myself unexpectedly in shabby chic heaven. With whitewashed walls, distressed accents, vintage novelties and antiqued mirrors hung just right, this comfy loft space was about as country cozy as gets in the Big Apple!
I’m in New York for Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week 2012 – so exciting!
Here’s a photo from the first night in NYC, Time Square – an exciting beginning to the big week ahead.
Chandelier at the Edison Ballroom in New York City – this stopped me in my tracks. Isn’t it gorgeous?!

Vera Wang Fall Show was gorgeous.
My two spoiled beagles got to go to Coronado Beach this weekend.
Too bad they never get to have any fun.
Spoiled. Rotten.
A friend shared this over email rcently, and I had to pass along! This is why I love diving… isn’t it gorgeous?!
These were all from a family trip to Belize!
The Sea, biologists tell us, holds the key to the mysteries of life. In some unknown time and way a molecule of matter crossed an unknown line and became a living cell. Other scientists believe that the human mind has a dim awareness of long tenuous roots that stretch back into the sea.
When we dream of being in water, they say, of diving into it or coming out of it, we are reliving the mysteries of our own birth. Our language reflects the uneasy awe we feel towards the unknown world which covers most of the planet. When something is beyond our understanding we say it’s “too deep” or that “we just can’t fathom it!”

Adrenaline junkies from across the Southwest ventured to Cave Creek, Arizona this past weekend to test their speed and bull-dodging abilities in the Running of the Bulls USA, the fourth bull run in the states.
While the bulls weren’t quite the size you’d expect to see in Pamplona, they were good sports and showed the runners a good time.
These photos are from Oracle, Arizona, a small mining town just north of Phoenix that dates back to the 1800s.
This abandoned barn was beautiful – the old wood, the way the fence had crumbled over time and weathered… so pretty!
This old wooden cattle shoot was just off the main road.
