Saturday was one of my best friends from college wedding. Erin and Daniel got married at the gorgeous Alder Manor. The venue is a breathtaking abandoned mansion in Yonkers, NY that feels like it is right out of the pages of The Great Gatsby. Erin looked gorgeous as usual in her custom designed dress that was made by her husband's friend. The night was absolutely wonderful and so romantic. It was so nice to be able to reunite with some of my closest girlfriends from college. Here's a link to a website that talks about the Alder Manor. Check it out…. It's such a unique location for a wedding.

We've been hunkering down during hurricane Sandy all day! I had school and gymnastics cancelled for the day, so we were able to sleep in and relax after our exciting weekend in NY. I thought it was only fitting to make a hearty beef stew for dinner tonight, and I'm just grateful that the power didn't go off while I was cooking! So far we've been having heavy rains on and off and very gusty winds. We have yet to loose our power, but I'm knocking on wood as we speak! I also just received a call that school is cancelled again tomorrow due to downed power lines and trees in Lexington. Maybe I'll get some cleaning and organizing done tomorrow. I might also try to finish my DIY projects for baby Percy's nursery!
Because of our busy weekend, I didn't end up doing a 29 week chalkboard. Instead I'm going to post some pics from our weekend in Yonkers!
