I know it still may be a little early, but seeing all my neighbors get their cute halloween/fall decorations out made me get in the mood! Tyson and I didn't do any decorating for Halloween last year at our home so I had to put a stop to that this year. I was so excited when he said he would come with me to Hobby Lobby to pick out some decorations! It was so fun today being on our porch putting up these simple decorations for the holidays. He thought I was crazy this morning and then ended up saying that he was so glad I got him involved and in the halloween spirit haha. Win!! Also we put together a vlog of this fun day..you've gotta check it out below or by clicking here! p.s dont hate on my kitchen broom
The second day in New York, we headed over to see the Statue of Liberty which was another check off the bucket list! We met up with Devin Graham (Devin Supertramp) and his awesome girlfriend Megan, who were also in NYC filming, and did a little double date action since we were all planning on seeing Lady Liberty that day. It was so fun having them with us where we could be each others personal photographers to get our couples pictures in! It was crazy to be walking around the feet of the Statue of Liberty and thinking about all the history that took place there. We also went over to Ellis Island to the Immigration Museum which was so cool to think about all the millions of immigrants that passed through it as they arrived to America for their first time. I loved how gorgeous this area is with all the trees and flowers. Tyson and I can't wait to go back! Thanks for coming to my blog!

New York was an absolute dream! Tyson found out about one week before this trip that I was able to go with him to film part of Saturday and Sunday which left us with Friday and Saturday to explore the city. With the little time that we had, I felt that we saw exactly what we wanted to, but definitely planning another trip where we can have more time! The most amazing part was that we flew into the city on 9/11. The first stop we made was Ground Zero. We quickly made our way to the subway station and asked lots of people for direction till we made it there. It was so breathtaking to be standing there at the location of the twin towers and realizing that was where all the tragedy took place that day 14 years ago. We spent awhile there walking around and seeing families and friends of loved ones hold each other tight. Such a cool experience.
Later that day we made our way up to Times Square which was the next more important thing I wanted to see!! It was so crazy walking up from under ground into the heart of Times Square! I am such a city girl and love being in places with so much going on and this was right there at the top for me. So many lights, people, street entertainers, taxis, horns honking, you name it. I can truly understand now why NYC is called the concrete jungle.
Our last few hours of the trip was spent exploring Long Island and of course we had to go visit Southampton! I now understand why the celebrities own homes there and would DIE to live there one day also!! The streets are lined with 12ft high bushes and openings only at the driveways where you have all the privacy in the world. Literally mansion after mansion with yards the sizes of football fields (ok maybe a little exaggeration there). Tyson was making fun of me the whole time with all my ooooss and awwss of how unreal these homes are (the ones that we could actually see). We also drove to Coopers Beach just so we could say that we had been from west coast (San Diego) to east coast all in two weeks. After that we walked down main street, had lunch at a cute restaurant, picked up some ice cream cones and got on our way. Can't wait to go back!!!
A couple days ago Tyson and I headed out to the salt flats with the Gardiner Sisters to film a cover for them! These girls are so talented, so hillarious, and always game for anything. I was super excited when they wanted to film here cause I have never been and needed an excuse to go check it out. It was definitely worth the drive out there with such a beautiful scenery everywhere!I can't wait for Tyson to finish this video and will for sure be posting it when its done!
P.S. I think Tyson and I are ready to take on guitar lessons.
