Oh The Fun....

Oh The Fun....

Well a little bit less than a month and a lot has happened since my last post! 

I thought I would share some of my fun in pictures!
 Obviously that is the only fun way to do things!

The fun all started with house and dog sitting. The is Pheobe. I tweeted all of these pictures so you may have already seen them but for the most part, the rest of the pictures are new!! If you didn't see the cutie, here she is in all her glory!!

My Best Friend has a cousin. Obviously. Her cousin is getting married in like November. YAY. Her cousin Jenna invited me to her very fun and adorable little Bridal Shower. I snapped a million pictures but tried to put all of the ones I found cutest in this little photo box for you! Her theme was coffee, since they met/had their first date in Starbucks. SO CUTE. So everything was like a coffee shoppe which of course made me happy. 

Then I went to a wonderfully fun and very sweet engagement party! I am so jazzed for what God is doing in the adorable couples life and the love they have for one another. Congrats you two!!

My best friend and I went on a fun date had Starbucks, Nordies Dessert, and bought really adorable clothes. 
Lovely day indeed.  

Ohh. My Family Reunion People. 
It was way too much fun! We started off with breakfast at Denny's, 8+ hours of driving and yes, literally 114 degree heat. 

Family Reunion Take 2! 
Even in the heat we all still looked rather attractive, crazy as per usual but most definitely attractive. 
This might have been the longest day ever. Ending with Olive Garden and Hot pink Hard Hats. Don't ask. 

Road trip #2 for the summer! One of which i did NOT have to drive. Once. It was a beautiful sight. We had the PERFECT Pandora radio going in which was literally named "Road Trippin" and Starbucks in hand to deal with the 6 hours of driving! Idaho was going to be a blast. 

I then continued to spend a week in a tent and on a camp ground with about 250 High School Students. Yeah, I wondered what I was thinking at first as well. Yet God did something really cool in the hot, sweaty, sticky situation in which we call Summer Camp Surrender 2012. 

With all those crazy High School Students we attempted to conquer Silverwood Theme Park and did a pretty good job! 
In the picture to the top left are two of the most ridiculous and most genuinely lovely girls I have come to know in a while. 
Both having this insane love for Jesus and teaching me new things continuously....
 This day was full of sun and fun. Mainly, a lot of sun. Yeah. I got burnt pretty bad, BUT now it is most definitely a tan!

I am the least spur of the moment person you will ever find. Seriously I am a planning machine. Although, sometimes I attempt to break out of my shell, and this time it worked. I took a spur of the moment trip over the pass about 2 hours away to bumping lake and stayed with my best friend and her family over night. Praise the lord I did because I seriously needed that drive time to think, pray and just worship the Lord. That drive was crazy long but crazy beautiful! I was SO blessed to go!! And yes, I snacked a lot and snuggled with that little man as well.....

That was basically the rest of July and August up until now. It has been busy as per usual but.....

 FULL to the BRIM with blessings. 

I will definitely be sharing what the LORD has been doing and hopefully you will come back and read up soon!! For now, Bon Voyage for I am leaving on a Jet Plane tomorrow to Cali and who knows when I will be back again!! ;) Happy reading and remember to count your blessings even if you are busy!

Summer List Fun...

Well people if you remember my last post The Summer List I made a list of things I wanted to do over summer and guess what?! Two have already been half-way checked off! 

I went to visit my sweet adorable cousins the other week and we went to the lake! I didn't take pictures but I did take pictures that day, that counts right? 

At the lake my cousins and I swam like no ones business.

 We also happened to make the cutest picnic lunch EVER.

Slurpee Day! Nothing Better. Mango Yummy. 

 

Coffee, My Cousins, Cake Pops and Tanning. All of the things I love. 

Fire and S'mores. Yes please. 

After that fun family time, I had to go back to work while having a Mariners Game to look forward to. Yes people, a MARINERS Game. Here are some snaps from the day!

Crazy Traffic, like over 45 minutes. Praise the lord for Protein Bars!

AWESOME Seats. 

Well friends. I did it! In a week I half-way finished two things off my list! They were to go to two Mariners Games and go to the lake AT LEAST Twice!! People! I did it once. I know this seems pathetic I am so excited, but common. Me fully accomplishing things just makes me happy. Obviously. I could scream it to the world.

Hoping that this week I can mark off another? I know for sure I am painting my toes a fun pink! Yes, i will have fun pictures because well painting my toes is fun!!

Happy Friday people because it is basically here!! Hopefully you enjoy it! Since I will be making coffee literally all day! Oh the joy of being a barista!!

The Summer List.

July. It is July. Then. August. Seriously People. August?!

Time literally feels like it is flying. Fourth of July happened, and I just didn't have it in me to post about that one. Although it was a smashing good time.

See, now with me basically living my life at Starbucks and or being on the run as per usual. I decided I didn't want my summer just to "happen" and not find specific things  to enjoy. 

I don't want this blog just to be a "Big Life Events" blog. 

I want it to be a "little things" blog. 

Therefore, I decided to make a list. Yes, a Summer List.

This summer, I WILL do the following//
As my readers feel free to comment other ideas, or maybe even keep me accountable? Sometimes I need it.

//Go Swimming at Grandmas House At LEAST Twice. 

//Paint my toe nails a FUN color every week. Check One. Check Two. Check Three. Check Four. Check Five.  

//Roast WAY too many marshmallows and eat messy S'mores. 

//Go to the lake, a literal Lake at LEAST twice. Check One. 

//Walk around my cute little home town and take tons of pictures.

//Go to the little Farmers Market ONCE. 

//Go to Seattle for the day. 

//See at least 2 Mariners Games. Check One.

//Go vintage antique shopping. 

//Go to at least one weekend worth of Garage Sales. 

//Attempt to tan. A lot. 

//Go on a "Hike". 

//Take a mini Road Trip somewhere lasting AT LEAST a day. 

Seems like a long list, but yet many are simple and rather easy.
Can I concur this summer and make it one to NOT forget?
We shall see.....

Graduations. Here. There. Everywhere.

Graduations. Here. There. Everywhere.
 I wish I had taken my fancy camera with me to them all!
I wish I would have snapped the memories to keep forever.
Sadly I did not. I did take Mobile Uploads! Those are really fun, but my phone is not exactly in working order to upload those pictures.

So instead I thought I would do a really special post dedicated to three REALLY important people in my life. 

First off is my friends Dylan and Jess.
They Graduated and threw a SMASHING Party.
Graduation Party Number 1

My sweet mother. 

The table decorations...

A closer view of decorations....

Of course, sketches. 

Casts, Casts, and more Casts!

So Dylan. Literally Everywhere. 

So vintage, so lovely. 

Bible and Sheet Music.

Sunflowers are quite lovely. 

Pintrest lived out. 

Aww. Jessica. I loved your pretty table. 

Table full of stuff. 

Absolutely adorable. 

Photobooth Props. I say yes!

Seriously? SO COOL!

America Cupcake Decorations. 

Dessert bar. YUM!

Look at that detail!!

He might be the coolest. Ever. SO proud!

SO cute! They used the lovely smash books!

Stealing this idea for like my wedding or something.....

Then later that week my cousin happened to have hers, how lovely right?
This party was smashing as well and was at a BEAUTIFUL place.
She is so wonderfully smart and of course beautiful so I thought i would dedicate some pictures I took!!

Beautiful Lake

So calming

A mini island to yourself, no big. 

SO pretty. 

Great for roasting some marshmallows, or warming yourself up!

She's pretty much the cutest thing...

Mommy Dearest!

PARTY TIME. Over 75 People showed up!

Friends, Food, and a nice lake, what else could you ask for?

Then deciding it was WAY too cold. 

My absolutely BEAutiful cousin. 

What a sight. 

Congrats to ALL 2012 Grads!!

Serious fun to be had....

And then there is them....

The "Man Row" is what we decided to call it....

After all the Grad Parties, I can definitely wait another year for them all to start happening again!!
Although I am very proud of all the people who did graduate and everything so many of them accomplished. 

I hope some of these fun pictures made you smile, inspired you or warmed your heart.
This blog is for me and my memories, I know this post did all of that and more.

Happy reading and well folks, Happy JULY!!
