Aisle to Aloha


i'm linking up with lindsay and her blog,
from the aisle to aloha, again. 




my most exciting little thing:
Bird Collage Shower Curtain modern shower curtains
a brand new shower curtain from West Elm
if you didn't know, i love birds. no really, i love them
i may be obsessed 
i know you can't wait to see it in our brand new bathroom
i can't either (: 



Ashton, Haley, Amber, Me
these lovelies are some of my favorites
ashton, haley, amber and i grew up basically living together
we danced together, played softball together, played 
with our american girls and legos for hours, we constantly played the parts in Now & Then 
we're still growing up together
we don't spend the night like we used to and we actually
live kinda far away, but i still love these ladies
like the day is long
we had a much needed coffee session this week and it was fabulous
this my friends is a hawiian pizza from mellow mushroom

[thankful for an early start to my weekend]
spontaneous date night with mikey

life lately

it's almost the end of october. that means in just a few short days it'll be november and that we're only 2 months and 1 day away from my 25th birthday...eeek! we're almost to a point at the house where we can move in. did i just say that out loud? we can almost move it. i know it's still "almost" - but hey, we're getting there! we'll have a finished bathroom on wednesday - no more peeing in the back yard [hey, i peed in the woods for over 3 months, why stop now?] haha! that means i can buy the shower curtain and bathroom goodies that i want without feeling guilty because we haven't needed them just yet...or had a place to store them. (:

enjoy some pictures from our life lately

O C T O B E R

October is here, hooray! It's my favorite [along with November and December] (: We've been busy. Like really busy, but we're still chuggin' along...or somethin' like that. Much has been done at the house, and much has yet to be done at the house. Mike has been working super hard to rebuild the laundry / mud room this week! The aluminum siding is coming off, windows are coming out and paint is going up this week / weekend. The floor man is working this week [we should have a brand new kitchen floor today -- we decided to use the old wood in there to patch the other places in the house so there's only one room with new wood...] and the electricians and HVAC people are coming out to finish up their work! That means we'll not only have fans that work, but we'll have heating and air too! And, we've got SQUISHED GRINCH GREEN on the walls!! Green is my favorite color [as if you didn't know...] Our bedroom is "squished grinch green" as Mike calls it -- and I LOVE it!

Floors!!
Thanks dad (: 
mikey putting the FIRST bit of color in our house!!

yes, yes I did (:


S A T U R D A Y
And...this past weekend is my absolute favorite weekend of the year. That's why we got married this weekend two whole years ago (: First, it's the Lauren's Hope Race and Aunt Het. Go ahead and mark your calendars for next years LHF 5K .. it's the 10th anniversary and it would mean the world to me for you to be there.
This year after the race we got to spend the day with Melbug helping her move into her new place! We had a good time haulin' stuff in and helpin' her set things in their new homes.

my FAVORITE day of the year
LHF 9th annual 5K

Happy TWO years to the sweetest, most wonderful husband ever. 
Phil. 1:3 [the msg]
Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. 

Here's to many, many more happy anniversaries (:
