Weekend in Pictures

Good morning, sunshines! Just wanted to quickly stop in to share those pictures from the weekend, as promised. My camera battery sadly died on Saturday, so there are fewer than I would have wished, but here they are! Wishing I were back there again instead of working on a Wednesday...

Stop 1: Quicks Hole for a cheese and cracker picnic en route to Martha's Vineyard. Here is our Finch Hatton from our view on the beach!  

We made it to the Vineyard! The darling ginger bread houses I told you about in Oak Bluffs... this one was pink and green so I HAD to snap a picture for you ladies!

Aren't they a-dorable?

The view from our park bench in the square... water fountains, gazebo, ginger bread houses, and a view of the ocean (to the left... use your imagination!).

Edgartown Harbor. Edgartown is my absolute favorite town on the Vineyard... the gorgeous homes, old architecture, quaint streets, and amazing shops are to die.

Ernie Boch, Jr.'s Edgartown estate... are you in L-O-V-E?

The sun setting on a beautiful day.

Other stops that my camera didn't capture included: Menemsha, Vineyard Haven, Chappaquiddick, and Nantucket... a summer New England paradise. What a fabulous weekend with fabulous friends!

Still sending lots of love and prayers for the darling Bumpkin. Can't you just picture her on that swing? 

Hope you all have a lovely day! XO

Blessings for our Bumpkin

Tears are filling my eyes as I write this now and as I read so many posts bearing terribly sad news. Lisa of Bumpkin on a Swing has lost her sudden battle with ovarian cancer. If you were lucky enough to have known Lisa from blogland or even more blessed to have been a dear friend beyond the cyber realm, you were sure to have been touched her by awestriking photos, sense of humor, passion, hilarious comments, big heart, and sweet personality. Her comments never failed to put a big smile on my face and usually would make me giggle out loud. Our darling Bumpkin, you will be missed dearly.

Sending lots of love and prayers to her beloved Captain John and precious friends. We know Lisa is swinging and smiling down on us from heaven.

Engageiversary!

Exactly one year ago yesterday, August 8th, 2009, a sparkly diamond slid onto my finger as Fiancé got down on one knee. We were on the boat, he asked a question, and I said YES! There was champagne, dancing, crying, squealing (moi), and lots of celebrating. Wedding magazines were immediately bought, a knot account was created (this may or may not have been before this day), parties were thrown, and the planning of our dream wedding began. I have loved every moment of being affianced, and I cannot believe that in just 19 short days we will be MARRIED!

Fittingly, we spent the weekend celebrating the anniversary of this magical day on the boat on the Vineyard and Nantucket. It was a lovely New England summer day, and love is still in the air. (Pictures to come soon - pinky promise.)

Happy engageiversary, Fiancé! I cannot wait for the day when you officially become Husband! XXOO
