what a wonderful day

So I haven't blogged in days (or weeks). Oops.

But today was a great day! It's my birthday! And I'm so very blessed with people that made it awesome. I enjoyed every message, phone call, card, text, and cake :) My hubby got me some fun boots, and I received other fun goodies from my awesome family, friends, and coworkers.

So thank you people. I'm so thankful for all of you! I can't wait to see what 26 has in store!

what a summer!

Labor Day has come and gone, as well as the summer. Except for the heat. But what I love is that fall is on the horizon. And y'all. I love the fall. But with the end of summer I can't help but think back to all the shenanigans and adventures.

1) Purchasing our very first home. Our house hunt started at the end of March, and at the beginning of June we closed. This all coming a few weeks after we thought about waiting to buy a home. Such a crazy, fun, sometimes frustrating experience. But well worth it. Definitely an unexpected blessing!

2) Traveling to Scotland & England! Have I mentioned why I wanted to travel to Scotland? Oh, I have? :) What an incredible trip that was. SO fun and got to see and do so many things. The best part? Getting to experience it with my hubby. And while in London I visited some of Kate's (the Duchess, that is) fave stores which was fun. I even purchased some Zara tops. Now I feel like we should be friends.

3) Completed lots of DIY projects! Our living room is finally complete, and since it's where we do most of our living, it's nice to have everything in its place. (Don't be deceived, there are still plenty of projects I'd like to complete :) )

4) Finding out I'd be an AUNT!!! My brother, Michael, and his wife, Gena are expecting their first child-a boy! I. Can't. Wait!

5) My mom, Gena, and I went to St. Augustine for a girls trip. We stayed at an awesome B&B and had so much fun.

6) Had a reunion with my BFFs.  Talk about shenanigans. Just kidding. Sort of. Gotta love cornhole tourneys and girl talk :)

7) A great Labor Day weekend in Hilton Head with the Burnett crew. Talk about a relaxing way to end the summer! And I just love the beach.

So thankful for such a fun summer. Now I'm looking forward to cooler weather, trips to the mountains, changing/falling leaves, boots, cardigans, scarves-the list could go on!
