October shenanigans

We've had a really fun and busy month! Soon after our honeymoon we hosted a belated wedding reception with our Florida friends. We had several people from both of our labs come-it was quite the party!

Lots of wine, fruit, and cheese to be had!

People always end up in the kitchen :p

Thanks to our wonderful friend Divya for taking photos!

October also means birthday time for me (Erica)...this year I celebrated the big quarter century mark in GNV with friends and my wonderful husband. We had some drinks at downtown on Friday night and then hit the archery range on my birthday to try out our skills with a bow and arrow. It was a lot of fun! We finished off the evening with some amazing Indian food at our favorite place in Ocala and even had some birthday cupcakes :) All in all it was a great way to ring in the big 2-5!

I am very much still a novice after only shooting once but it was a lot of fun! Looking forward to trying it again soon.

This weekend we decided it was time to get out of town for a bit. We have both been rather busy at work with projects and papers and were needing a break to clear our heads. We spent the day at the beach at one of our favorite places in the Tampa Bay area-Fort de Soto park-a great beach and camping area set away from the busy city. After some sun and relaxing in the water we arrived back in Gainesville refreshed and ready for another busy week!

After spending the day at the beaches in Fort de Soto, we headed to Pass-a-Grille to watch the sunset.

The very happy Florida Brockmeiers :)
