Ok this might be picture overload for one post but I don't care because I had such a great time in Rio! It was my 3rd time to Brazil and my first time to Rio. I went with Stella, Brenan, and Bridgette. From the first day we were constantly doing something fun. The first full day we went to the urban rainforest where I proposed to Stella!!! Now I have a fiancé!

The fun continued for us as we visited awesome places, ate great food, and spent time with Stella's amazing family. I'm so glad I had this experience and I plan on going back very soon!!!!

Early Thanksgiving















Last weekend I drove up to NY where my grandparents live. It was a special occasion because family was getting together for an early Thanksgiving. I'm sure everyone will still have their own Thanksgivings, but it was great for me since I'll be traveling this Thanksgiving. Here are some shots of the family showing some of the fun we had! I miss them already!
