Basking in glorious sunshine and gorging on delicious food.

Let the countdown begin!!

Twenty Twelve

Wait, 2012?

Am I going crazy? Isn't the world suppose to end this year?

On my birthday to be exact, December 21st 2012... we're toast.

Speaking of birthdays, I had one. Again. A few weeks ago. I am now considered LATE 20's.

Yuck.

Good thing I was spoiled rotten by the husband. It wasn't too bad I guess.

A few pictures as proof...

Another band for my already gorgeous wedding ring... a girl can never have enough diamonds :)

Like I said, spoiled.

Another Christmas, gone. Just like that. It really didn't even feel like Christmas this year. The sunshine and warm temps could've played a part in that.

No snow on Christmas?

I mean really?

Christmas-y church attire

Sunroof and sunglasses on Christmas day.

That's just crazy.

I adore them :)

Merry Christmas.

AND,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here's to hoping that THIS year is OUR year ;)

Send your good vibes our way!

Thankful

A Lesson Learned:

He is a wise man who does not grieve
for the things which he has not,
but rejoices for that which he has.
Epictetus

This past week, I have found myself counting my blessings, and my heart is most definitely full of GRATITUDE. The good Lord as blessed me with so much... my family, my husband, my health, my job, my home... the list is endless.

I may not have everything I want, or feel I deserve at the moment, but I am indeed grateful for all that I do have. And I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that knows the desires of my heart and I am humbled each day as I am reminded to trust Him.

For now, I must say, life is good... how can I not be happy with these two?

All You Need Is Love

Saw this video on a friend's blog tonight and had to share...

I am SO grateful to be SO in love with my sweetheart!

And so grateful that it's FOREVER :)

Fall

Normally, I would say that I've been too busy to blog... but I'll be honest, I've just been lazy. With Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram all fighting for my time, my blog has taken a back seat. (How pathetic am I? I assure you, I do have a life outside my phone and computer... sometimes.)

It's finally FALL!!

Except for the few days lately that have still felt like summer, which I'm not complaining about. But the weather is definitely changing and believe it or not, I am excited!

Here's the last couple of months in pictures...

This handsome man and I celebrated 3 years of blissful (cough, cough) marriage :)
He is still wonderful, and funny and smart.
And I'm still crazy about him, so I think I'll keep him.

This little gem was born in August and I am obsessed with her.

And she thinks I'm pretty cool too :)

We became grown ups and bought our very own couch...

And....

We finished painting!

Our bedroom and master bath.

I had a surge of craftiness and made a few things...

(foam board and scrapbooking paper... thank you HGTV)

(wood letters, painted and glittered. black frames from the dollar store. scrapbooking paper and a little spray adhesive. easy and CHEAP!)

I wish I could say I made this, but I did not.

Tai Pan Trading did.

Pumpkin patch and...

New hair...

($20 on eBay! Shhhh, don't tell)

My obsession as of late:

If you aren't already on Pinterest, do it. NOW.

You will surprisingly NOT find time for your blog.

Preview

Here's a little sneak peek of the family pictures we took while up in Montana. We had the photographer take a few of just the couples as well :)

The rest are coming soon... hopefully!

Montana

A few weeks ago the Helean clan ventured up to Missoula for a week long vaykay to celebrate Papa Larry's 75th birthday. This was the first time that the whole Helean family was together in Montana since, I don't know when! It was so awesome that we were all able to be there. I absolutely LOVE my Montana family!
