We are SO Hollywood

For those of you who are unaware, my husband is a man of many talents. He is an exceptional writer, photographer, cameraman, editor, cook and overall vessel of vast knowledge. He is also now a famous actor: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3609014/!!! Well, ok, maybe not so famous, but an actor with an imdb credit nonetheless.

THE PEANUT BUTTER THEORY was a project that many of Ryan’s co-workers were involved in and asked Ryan to step in when an actor flaked out. He thought the stage makeup was super cool.

It’s Pumpkin Pickin’ time!

Every year without fail, the Joiners head to the closest pumpkin patch (NOT the nearest grocery store) to pick our own pumpkins. This year we decided to go the first weekend in October, which just happened to be the weekend that one of my best friends Alysha and her husband Clifford were coming to town. So…..they came along!! J This is not the first Joiner family tradition that Lysh has been a part of. She has spent at least one Easter in the Inland Empire during college, so she is definitely part of the family.

I think we all walked away pretty pleased with our selections. I know my pumpkin is adorable and currently making our balcony very festive! As you can see, we not only found our pumpkins, but also went through the corn maze, picked out some gourds and managed to convince Dad to bring home half a bale of hay for Mom to get her fall decoration on.

My Girls

All my bridesmaids (minus my matron of honor) all in one place and “no one was wearing a white dress” as Valoria put it. We all got together last weekend at the Jones’ house for a BBQ- it was so fun to hang out! Valoria & Brian have a beautiful home that was full of delicious food. It makes my heart happy to have all my girls with me and this time (for the first time ever) all the hubbies were there too! Too bad Aaron Wolf has serious issues smiling…

Fun fact: Claire, Valoria, Alysha and I ALL had wedding ceremonies within one year of each other (08-09). How CRAZY is that?! I say wedding ceremonies, cause Alysha and Clifford got married the summer after our freshman year (those crazy kids) but just had their full wedding last summer. Claire, Lor and I all got married within 8 months of each other. I swear it wasn’t planned……well, maybe Claire’s and mine. We like to do everything together. Just kidding…mostly. ;)
