Wedding planning is in full swing! I have been a busy lady. We jumped right into everything and started by looking for the perfect venue. We knew we wanted something with character and beauty so it would stand on its own and wouldn’t need tons of decorations. That helped us narrow our list down to six venues. Some were managed by the same companies so that meant just four venue visits.

getting married : Engaged
I’m engaged and I’m getting married! A few weeks ago my boyfriend, co-homeowner, and Auxiliary Magazine co-editor asked me to marry him during a cozy evening in on a cold winter night. It was sweet and simple and after ten plus years together, we are very excited to really be planning the wedding we have been playfully talking about for so long.
explore : Como Lake Park
It’s winter now, but I am dreaming of summer hiking and exploring parks. Over the summer we went to Como Park in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. We tried to follow a rather vague trail and kept loosing the path then we wandered through the frisbeeĀ golf course to an odd little lighthouse.
explore : Japanese Gardens of Buffalo
One weekend when visiting the Buffalo History Museum, I noticed the cherry blossoms in the Japanese Gardens of Buffalo just outside of the museum were budding. I took note to try to come back in a couples weeks to see them in bloom. One night while driving home from dinner out, at Kuni’s sushi restaurant oddly enough, we spotted that the cherry blossoms were in bloom! At dusk right before the rain I took these photos.
explore : Akron Falls
One of the first nice days of the year meant the first hike of the year. A new hiking trail app pointed me to Akron Falls in Akron, NY just a short drive from Buffalo. It was a very short hike and very easy; a little trail in Akron’s park. But any trail that leads to a waterfall is a good trail in my book.
