Best wife ever?

Last night as I was enjoying a glass of wine, watching an episode of LOST (I told you guys we're addicted), and watching Dave buff out his new drum kit he bought off of Craigslist it dawned on me...

...either I'm the best wife ever or I've lost my ever loving mind.

Honest to goodness, I'm so proud of Dave for foregoing the painful process of finding a reliable drummer and deciding to just go for it and do the drums himself as he records new songs. But, I will say I'm panicking just a bit as to where these are going to go in our little apartment. (Please oh please don't let them stay in the living room.)

So what do you all think...have I lost my mind?

A weekend in Wichita...

Sorry in advance for the long/pic overload post today...there is so much I wanted to share from our trip and I didn't want to divide it into multiple posts. I hope you enjoy it!

Dave and I had such a wonderful time visiting friends and family in Wichita last weekend. We were up there for a high-school friend's wedding and it was so much fun to get time to hang out with my best friends and to see some girlfriends from high school that I haven't seen in years.








Dress: Target // Necklace and Earrings: c/o Becoming Jewelry // Mary Jane Pumps: Bamboo  

This necklace and earrings that Becoming Jewelry sent me really blew me away. I was excited to get them just from browsing their website, but when they arrived I was smitten. They are sterling silver and the chain really sparkles. They come individually packaged in a little bag with a sweet quote and a plastic bag for the necklace and another plastic bag that contains a polish pad to keep the jewelry nice and shiny. 

I was so excited they came before we left because this necklace was perfect for a wedding! It has a circle charm with a D, one with an M, and a heart charm. I think this might be my favorite necklace I've ever owned. No lie. It's gorgeous and has so much meaning to me, I can't say enough great things about it.

It was SO good to get to see my favorite ladies that I miss so much when we're away. We're kind of all over the place now, Hillary (the blonde) is in Denver, Jen and Lindsey are in Kansas City, and of course I'm in Austin...so the times when we can all get together are precious.

Our last day in town I spent all afternoon shopping with my Mom and Aunt and then we headed home to make some guacamole and fish tacos and have some wine. It was a perfect girls day out and a great way to end the weekend.

Instagramish.

Happy Labor Day! Hope you're all having a fabulous long weekend with your friends and family. Dave and I were out ALL day yesterday shopping...we had a great time. It sure did feel amazing coming home and plopping on the couch for a LOST marathon afterwards though! Here's what some of our week last week looked like...

-Coffee and writing date with myself.
-Yesterday's break for food in between all the shopping.
-New headbands in the shop and a sale that ends today! 30% off of an order of $30 or more, includes giftcards! No code required. Have fun shopping here.
-Breakfast and chats with Sew Caroline! So much fun.
-Love sleepy LOST marathons.

Cheers to Friday...

Happy Friday my loves! How was everyone's week? Not too crazy, I hope! I know this time of year can be a whirlwind while we all try to adjust to a new schedule. It has been here, that's for sure.

The start of school makes my heart ache for cooler temperatures, falling leaves, changing colors, jackets, and football games. I miss having a game to go to every weekend. I can't wait until Dave and I have kids and are able go cheer them on at all of their sporting events...

Until then, I'll just light my hazelnut cream candle and sip on my pumpkin beer (or latte, depending on the time of day) and pretend fall is already here.
