and i'm back!

*stay tuned for some engagement pics below!

so i've been gone. blogging has fallen on my list of priorities. in fact, this is my first day off in 3 weeks! WHOOP! don't feel sorry for me, i love my job and my coworker!

but i have missed my hubzy. his birthday is next month. need to get a gift. got a great day planned though.

so, i'm sure you are wondering what i've been up to lately, so i've come up with an incredibly interesting list for you all:

1. feeling way under-crafty and desperate to begin (or finish) a decorative project!! fine. i guess i'll finish the dresser i started in april. in three weeks. on my next day off.

2. same goes for baking. in fact, i think today i will make some salted caramel chocolate cupcakes. OA interns... get excited!

3. i've been studying proverbs 31 and other womanly verses with katy and it has been so cool. it is making me think and question so many aspects of who i am, who the lord has created me to be, and how i can be a better wife for trevor and myself. i've become a strong believer in my appearance, attitude, condition of my home and routine being a reflection of my heart and intimacy with the Lord. as ridiculous as that might sound, when my house is a mess, ususally my heart is a wreck, too.

4. working. duh.

5. dave ramseying our budget. thanks lauren and preston! know what i'm most excited about... our travel budget. next year? vegas. year after? hawaii!

6. NOT hanging out with friends.  :(

7. day dreaming about repainting our house

8. attempting to diet and exercise, but pushing it off until september 1st, when things slow down, we start out budget, and  have a fresh start. i will do it. i don't doubt myself at all... eating right and staying in shape is totally about obedience and stewardship.

9. watching make it or break it. can't get enough!

10. taking engagement pictures for carly and james smith! she is just gorgeous and they will be so great together! enjoy:

i will be blogging more. promise. cross my heart and hope to die.
