Dale and I’s first day of our Colorado road trip began at Garden of the Gods! I had been once before with my grandparents, but was excited to hike around the park with Dale. This was our first trip since Covid and we decided driving and staying in private Airbnb’s would be the best way to safely spend a week off. We had perfect early fall weather and I can’t wait to share more photos from our week in the mountains!
August Around The Web
Friends the end of August is already here! Time is still moving both fast and slow but overall this was a pretty good month: work was busy and I even had a chance to stop by my desk to pick up a few things, Dale spent the month working from home (I wasn’t alone!!) and we tackled lots of house projects! In the past few weeks we stained our deck, repainted our bedroom, and finally invested in a dehumidifier for our basement. I got to spend time at the pool, finally had an outdoor happy hour with some work friends I hadn’t seen in months, and made a trip to the lake. Life is adapting to the circumstances and I’m super grateful for my home & family!
Around the web this month, Jessica shared how her daughter inspired this new mirror acrylic lettering and it reminded me of my mirror acrylic sign I made a few years ago! Otto unfortunately broke it but would love to get one of Jessica’s.
I know I already mentioned that we painted our bedroom this month, but really we painted it twice… in the same week. I got inspired by these moody color palettes and ended up hating what we choose. Take two worked out though!
I’m ordering this print for above our bed! And thinking about trying Framebridge, has anyone used them before?
My boss shared this last week, it is helpful if you need some background noise!
Hoping to get my hands on some old family photos to test out this website!
As Summer comes to a close I might need to test this recipe out soon…
And with September right around the corner I’m most excited for Dale and I to take a quick road trip to Colorado! i can’t wait to spend lots of time outside and have a few days away from home!
See you soon, fall!
Grammy and Pop’s 60th Wedding Anniversary!
This weekend my family was finally able to celebrate my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary! I’m really grateful my whole family (including my cousins!) was able to be together for dinner, photos, and lots of laughs and tears as we celebrated. Grace even provided some musical entertainment! I hope you all have found safe ways to celebrate the special occasions in your life (virtually or in person!) during this season. Cheers to 60 years Grammy and Pop!
Sister Staycation!
This last weekend my sisters (plus Dale and Alex) rented an Airbnb literally down the street from our house so that we could have a day at the pool. With so many vacations and plans cancelled this summer it was the perfect 24 hour staycation and we also got to celebrate that Grace and I will be Maid/Matron of Honors at Sophie’s wedding next June! I hope you all have found some time to relax and enjoy this summer, too!
Kaldi Wilson!
My sister Sophie and her fiancé Alex just added an adorable new member to their family, Kaldi Wilson! My family never had a dog growing up so I can’t wait to watch this puppy grow! He is definitely bringing some joy to this strange summer. Feel free to follow along on Instagram!
