Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, y’all!!!  I am so happy to be back to blogging again after being without the internet for TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!!!  Am I complaining??  A little haha!  You don’t realize how much you use the internet (online banking, checking email, looking up a recipe, social media, etc.) until you’re without it, and Dustin and I tried to not use so much of our cell phone data–tried being the key word.  Can I say it was quiet at my house?

Anyway, AT&T FINALLY came to hook up internet and cable yesterday and now I am back to blogging!  As usual, I’m linking up with Andrea for Friday Favorites.

 ONE
I don’t remember how I found this Etsy store on Instagram, but I somehow did and I’m so glad.  (I found it during the time when I was trying to conserve my data.  If I could insert the laughing emoji right here I would.)  This lady has the most beautiful signs I’ve ever seen.  I took a screen shot of this one because I’m a little obsessed, but I can’t let myself spend the $300 is costs.  If it were half the price then yes because I’ve already decided where I would put it in my new house (in my bedroom).  Let’s hope she has a BIG sale soon so I can order this beauty and put her in my bedroom!  Oh, hey Dustin…I know you’re reading this so… 😉
 TWO
Remember how I said we went two whole weeks without internet and TV???  Well that left me with a lot of time to procrastinate grad school homework (which I’m making up for right now) and lots of time to read!  I went by our public library and checked out three books.  I read two of those books and gave up reading the other because I’m over the dystopian literature right now.  (Side note:  I told Dustin that same thing and then asked him if he knew what dystopian meant.  He said no, and then I proceeded to explain dystopian vs utopian and then felt sorry for him that he married an English teacher.)  I reread The Fault in Our Stars because I love it so much and cried at all of the same parts that I cried in the first time I read it.  I decided that I need to buy my own copy because I want to underline every beautiful sentence I find in this novel.
(Here’s a little sneak peek into the house!)


 THREE
Who doesn’t love Kate Middleton?  I mean look at her.  She’s fabulous and classy and a princess!  I love this photo for so many reasons.  I love her fascinator.  I love her very chic and classic white suit.  And I love that she used a family christening gown to christen her daughter, Charlotte.  I also love the name Charlotte but my husband doesn’t.  🙂


Stay tuned to lots of posts coming soon!!!  SOOO much happened in the two weeks I was gone from blogging that I’ll have to break it down into a few posts.
Enjoy your weekend!!

Friday Favorites!

I only have one FAVORITE today and that is the fact that it’s MOVING day for us!!  We’ve waited months for this moment and I can’t believe it’s finally here.


We started here back in February announcing that we had decided to build!

Then I posted pictures like these along the way documenting the process:

And the final product!



I’ll be without internet for a few days (insert crying emoji here) so I won’t be blogging as regularly.  But be looking for a house tour in the upcoming weeks!

Friday Favorites! (6.19.15)

Yay for Friday!  As a teacher, every day is like the weekend to me, but I’m actually happy today is Friday because we have a fun weekend planned.  We’re going on a little weekend getaway with my BFF and her husband!

I’m linking up with Andrea for Friday Favorites today 🙂

Last weekend I took my dad to see Jurassic World for Father’s Day.  The whole Jurassic Park franchise is my FAVORITE (except the 2nd movie) and this one may have been super fake but I loved every minute of it!  I was a little unsure of watching it in 3D but it wasn’t that bad.  We took this picture before the movie started and this was before I had to put on my real glasses and then the 3D glasses on top 🙁  #badeyesightprobs
My church has a Women’s Ministry and our study for this coming year is Donald Whitney’s Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life.  I’m leading this study with the small group leaders this summer and it’s been a definite FAVORITE so far.  I’ve been really bad at memorizing Scripture so I’m really being intentional in that this summer.  I started with Psalm 19:14.  My friend, Sarah, sent this screen lock picture to me that she found on the She Reads Truth app.
This past week marked two years since we got engaged.  This is a FAVORITE memory of mine because the story is so funny.  Dustin lied to tricked me into looking for his mom’s cell phone that she had “dropped” by the pond earlier that day.  This was taken after he proposed and I was checking my awesome ring out.  I’m very private about relationship things and so he knew I didn’t want someone hiding out taking our pictures.  But he was also smart enough to know I would want to see pictures someday so he hid a game camera and so this picture was off the game camera!!  The donkey just had to see what was going on!
Another FAVORITE is that I ran in the heat earlier this week and survived!  My pace was much better than I expected.  I’ve really got to get better at getting up early like twice a week to run.  Because we all know that I don’t want to have to get up early all summer 🙂

I used a fax machine this week and I’m calling this a FAVORITE moment!  These things make me nervous because I use one maybe once or twice every two years!!  I have no idea if my fax goes through or if I even did it correctly.  You know with email you can always check to see if it goes through but not a fax.   I’m so thankful that I don’t have to always use a fax machine.


My last FAVORITE moment?  We close on our house in just a few short days!!!!!  I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!
 When we first announced our plans to build a house…


…and our almost finished house!
