life lately.

hello. my name is McKell. we've met once but you may have forgotten me because i obviously fell off the face of the earth for a quick minute, but guess what... i'm back! i don't really have an excuse for not blogging other than being super tied up with watching grey's anatomy/sing-off/modern family/the office, cooking dinner most nights, cleaning like super woman, relaxing, going to New York City with some of my favorite gals, taking pictures, working here and there in my spare time and hanging out with my handsome, sweet and hilarious husband whom I love ever sooo much.

Notice I said nothing of school. thats right folks... no school. no homework (other than spencer's occasionally). no tricky professors. no cramming. no late nights. no stress. no school.

i love it.

2nd best thing that ever happened to me (spencer is the first)

and i have a diploma and a flattering black cap and gown to prove it.




i sometimes feel bad for spencer when he gets home from work and he has to write a paper or read a text book...ugh!

(first day of school photo)

when i get home from work at 6, i turn on the news, think of something for dinner, maybe do a little more work, edit pictures, organize something, give spence a pep talk and then watch my favorite shows before bed.

did i mention how great life is without school and that i absolutely love it?

and since i have so much more free time, i held a fun back2school party with some dear friends. i decorated and all. we played bocce, had dinner that wasn't so delicious ( i tried a new recipe...ugh), and then rode bikes and longboards in the near by church parking lot (i felt like a punk).



it was a fun evening with excellent company.



2 years and counting.

so the mr. and i have now been wed for 2 whole fun filled years! and i continue to think that i am the luckiest girl that walks the earth.



not only is he charming and so nice, he is hilarious. not a day goes by in our home that we aren't busting a gut at each other. i love it.

so our anniversary was saturday oct 1 and i had booked us a fabulous room at the anniversary inn in July. i was getting soo excited to surprise him with a nice little evening but turns out he had also booked a room at the anniversary inn to surprise me with a nice little evening. thanks to our friends jordan and alyssa, they spoiled a big surprise on the both of us but did save us our $50 deposit!
