Weekend Recap!

How on earth is it already October?! This year is FLYING by! Granted, I'm super excited for some pumpkin fun, my trip to Europe, TU Homecoming, etc., so I'm okay with it being October. :)

Eric and I have hit up the Austin Farmers' Market and the Fayetteville Farmers' Market in recent weeks, but had yet to venture out to the Tulsa market that's just a 2 minute drive from our house. Something felt wrong about that, so we headed to the one on Cherry Street on Saturday morning. Breakfast burritos from Pear, local produce, local beef... good stuff. 

Saturday night, Eric and I hung out and had dinner with our friends, Jenny and Jeff, at their house. I think we started with three or four bottles of wine. And there was no wine remaining when we left. I woke up and apologized to Eric for trying to make the passenger seat my own personal dance club my behavior in the car on the way home...haha... Needless to say Saturday night was a good night with good friends. :)

Today, I got out some fall decor-Wahoo! I packed everything away with some scented pine cones I really liked last year. In a tightly enclosed tub, the pine cones' scent penetrated all my fall decor. It's a little eye-watering strong when you first walk into the living room, but it'll get better.... I hope. 

Tonight, my mom took Eric and me to dinner to celebrate our engagement. :) I took pictures of my breakfast burritos (below) but forgot to take a pic at dinner tonight. Fail. 

Thank you guys so much for your comments on my last post by the way! Personally, I didn't think a year felt too long at all, but you definitely helped support that thought! We're working to get a date locked in, but our venue of choice has some limitations and won't let us book the wedding yet. Long story. So, we might have to book the photog before we book the actual wedding venue because I don't want to lose the photographer that I really, really want and he's already booking up. Eek!

Also, I'm putting together my packing list for Europe!! I bought some comfy, casual (but still cute) shoes, so hopefully I'll be good there. Unless it pours. Which could happen. But I won't let wet feet stop me from exploring London. Any tips on late October weather/packing for London, please let me know. I'm thinking layers.layers.layers.

Happy October, friends!

Such a fun weekend! I'm jealous! Also, can't wait to read about your London trip!!!

We just moved to the Tulsa area, it sounds like we should check out that farmers market for sure! Are there good pumpkin patches or orchards around here? As far as London I can ask my MIL, her and my FIL lived in Europe for years. She traveled all around the area. She is currently in Spain for a few more days tho. :)

You will literally be in Europe before you know it. SO exciting!! And I had to laugh that you have pictures of your breakfast burritos but not of your dinner out with your mom....that is SO something I would do! Glad you had a great weekend.

Clothes suggestions for traveling around london/dealing with the rain and blusteryness: my suggestions are LAYERS, a cardigan sweater will be your best friend! Also the whole jeans/leggings tucked into boots is not only cute but SUPER helpful with mist and rain, the bottoms of your pants don't get wet then with the wet pavement when tucked into boots. Also a good cross body bag/purse that you can throw things in easily is nice for when you want to take off a layer or make a purchase or two ;) Get a cute water resistant jacket and an umbrella. So jealous!!! you will have an amazing time:)
