Happy Halloween

Cienna was coming into town from Miami and Katie & Jeff were coming down from Boston... so Dave and I hosted a Halloween Party/ Carroll Gardens Pub Crawl. It was a great time... here are some pics from the evening.

Dave and I dressed up as Lucy & Desi (or a couple from the cast of Mad Men).





Thanks for coming, friends!









I also won second prize in the costume contest at Angry Wade's. I didn't even know that there was a contest going on! A guy came up to me and asked me what I was dressed as and I said Lucy and he handed me an envelope. I won a gift certificate for $50 in free drinks (that's literally what the GC said).

Countdown Begins

364 Days until our Wedding!!!

Dave and I celebrated our -1 year wedding anniversary last night by dinning at Chestnut. We've been wanting to go there since we moved into Carroll Gardens in June. We've been saving it for this special occasion and we were not disappointed. It was delicious!

More Pics

We had originally wanted to wear more Fall inspired outfits, the weather did not cooperate. We did however have great lighting.

Here are some more pics from the shoot:

Brooklyn Bridge

E-Session 10-12-08

This past Sunday, Dave and I took our engagement pictures. We finally narrowed our locations down to Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge.

We met up with Agaton at 3 PM on Sunday. We had agreed to meet at the corner of 60th and 5th Ave but unbeknownst to us there was a parade. It took us a little while, but we finally found Agaton (he was the guy with the big camera around his neck). We were nervous about the photo shoot but after meeting Agaton, he made us feel completely at ease.


Here are a few of our favorites from Central Park...

Playa del Carmen

Wer'e Back

Dave and I had a great time in Playa! It is definitely our type of kinda place... a laid back town with BEAUTIFUL beaches,tons of great restaurants and bumping nightlife. Actually we really didn't experience any of the nightlife ourselves, but it looked like fun from afar ;) We did however catch up on the last season's finale of Lost.

I'll post pics once we get them back from being developed. We forgot our camera battery so we kicked it old school with a disposable camera.

Mexico

Dave and I are leaving for Playa del Carmen, Mexico today. We'll be there for 5 days (Oct 2-Oct 7).The weather looks like rain, but it will be nice to be on vacation. This will actually be our first vacation together all of our other travels together have either been for weddings or visiting friends & family.
