this cash is for one of these beauties:


i'm seriously so excited.

errand day.

the day before my birthday i:
went to the dmv. (whoo! party!)
went to harbor freight "tools" to get these.
went to the post office. and FINALLY got our mailbox keys.
applied for another job.
installed shelves in my studio!! (eeeeeeeeeee! so stoked!)
went to work and made q-tip skeletons with the kiddies! so fun!
chatted with the hubsters.
went to winco, AGAIN.
&&&&&
i made these for dinner.
here's my messier, not as pretty version:

just because they're messy doesn't mean they weren't deeeeelicious.

and now i'm going to go organize my studio.
or carve pumpkins.
anything is possible.

i'm 23 in 2 hrs and 40 mins.

house guests.

so we had lovely guests last night.
jason and lacey williams and their three little midgets.

here's a photo of the midg's when adam and i babysat.

anyway.
we had a grand ol' time, but soon realized that our condo isn't especially child-friendly.
i offered a finger painting station, and jason put the kibosh on that idea quickly.
he was looking out for our cream-colored carpet's best interest.

we made amazing jello shots.
(no photos-sorry. but they turned out great!)
and grilled pesto pizzas.
along with my trusty spinach dip.
(too much cream cheese on purpose this time!)

and the boys found the macbook cam.

cheers to great weekends!

mess.

this disaster will be my studio.
i need some shelves.
i'm lucky enough to get a REALLY NICE drafting table from my future father-in-law.
adam is getting it today.

on a different note: i'm getting sick.
SAH-WEET!
not.

style: upgrade.

i have a feeling this will happen a few more times, but i changed up the blog.
no more wooden background.
white white white.

i also changed my hairs. [:

autumn is always my season of change.

i like it that way.

sibling sunday.

i love my brothers. & i am so proud of them.
keegan is a senior in high school and growing into someone to be proud of.
i love him very much and he is one of the very best friends in my life.
he is a wonderful athlete and kindhearted person.

brody is the baby.
he is adorable and a charmer to all the little ladies.
i love him very much.
i cannot wait to see who he becomes.

i love you, my big little brothers.

dinner in the new place.

extremely healthy.
i accidentally put in about twice as much cream cheese than needed.
but.. more fattening means more tasty goodness.. so i'm not complaining.
[:
my diet might be. [;

moved in!

we finally moved in!
hallelujah!
[:
i have been on a mad decorating frenzy.


since i cannot take any pictures (boo), i'll have to post some later.

but since it is nearly impossible for me to post without an image, here is the wine rack i bought from target:

i'm in love.
the color is even called guacamole. [:
