Apple Pie

We made an apple pie for Thanksgiving dessert. We used a recipe that has been in Randy's family for many years. The crust is so flakey and the apples are so sweet. It is perfect with vanilla ice cream.

Thanksgiving

Randy and I had a relaxing and quiet Thanksgiving at my parent's house in Los Banos. The day consisted of watching tv, eating, napping, more eating and of course, more napping. Randy and I baked a pie (I'll share that in another post).

Congratulations Alison and Travis!

Tonight my friend Alison married Travis Beech. I traveled to Modesto to watch them exchange their vows. I was able to snap a few shots with my new camera.

A beautiful wedding

In early October, Sarah married Stephen at the Menefee Ranch. It was a beautiful wedding with delicious food. Here are some of the pictures I took of the happy couple.

XTi

We bought a new camera. My dad bought my old Canon Digi Rebel, and we purchased the Canon Rebel XTi. We LOVE it! It shoots in black and white.

It's official!

I am now Stephanie Fawcett. All official paper work has been changed. All new checks, credit cards, driver's license, etc. Now I have to get used to writing it.

Bittersweet

Escrow closed today, and I am no longer the owner of the little house on Oxford. I was sad leaving my house for the last time, but I am very excited about finding a new place for us. We've been looking online, and Jenny gave me a name of a real estate agent she knows well. I'll be calling him first thing tomorrow. I'll keep everyone updated on the house search as soon as it starts. Wish us luck!

Half Moon Bay

On Saturday, we spent the day in Half Moon Bay. We walked along the beach and Randy found lots of shells. We ate lunch at the Brewing Company, then walked down Main Street and did a little shopping. The weather was perfect.

Happy Birthday John!

On Saturday, a group of us celebrated John's birthday in Carmel. We ate at Little Napoli http://www.littlenapoli.com. We had so much fun at dinner. Happy Birthday John!

"This is the best meal you've made since we've been married."

Randy's exact words when I made corn bread- and bacon-stuffed pork chops the other night. I have to admit, I thought they were pretty yummy too.

St. Lucia

A few photos of our honeymoon. It was so beautiful there. We want to go back. Many more photos later.

Rehearsal Dinner

About 40 or so people met us at Galletto Ristorante after the rehearsal. Galletto's is a fantastic restaurant in Modesto. The meal was delicious. John, Jenny and Martha ordered cookies for everyone with a photo of us from Randy's high school graduation. They were adorable. It was so fun talking to everyone. Here are some photos.

Rehearsal 2

If anyone has jpeg photos of any of these events, and would like to share them, please email me and I can put them up here.
