september to remember

my dad celebrated his birthday while he was in china. i wonder if this is what birthday celebrations look like there or if they think that this is what american birthday celebrations look like. i don't think i have ever seen a bowl of apples or sweet potatoes fried in honey at any party i've ever been to. also that hat.

abalone candy. nope.

 we got countertops!

 jeremy and i hadn't traveled all summer because of the house so at the last minute we decided to go backpacking in the tetons. really beautiful, so fun, always a little fear of the grizzly.

 and when we got back, we were increasingly behind on finishing our house that we decided to buy a boat. this was our first time out, jeremy jumped in and em wanted to get in too.

 the local news invited me to do a fashion segment on one of the day time shows. it was fun, i hope the people in the nursing homes liked it.
