thursday thoughts

Just a few random thoughts for today 🙂

1. On Monday, I finally found my dress for Kevin and Tori’s wedding! It’s somewhat “vintage” so I am making a few modifications, like shortening the sleeves, and taking it in just ever so slightly. It also had shoulder pads… yep. I took those out like 0.002 seconds after I bought it and washed it.

2. I’m pretty excited because today something awesome is coming in the mail… a new computer! Michael’s been wanting to build a desktop machine for forever and he finally just went ahead and did it. I’ll probably be the one using it the most (editing photos in a flash with more RAM and a faster processor!), so I am pumped to get it set up tonight.

3. I have been doing so great with my goals this month so far! Salads are now my go-to lunch (well, maybe not on Saturdays, but for the most part). Arm and ab workouts are finally starting to feel a little easier and less like I’m about to die. I can see just a slight difference in my muscle definition, and I’m extra excited about the area right around my belly button feeling more “pulled in” and toned. I think you mamas out there probably know what I’m talking about!

4. I found this cake recipe this morning (doesn’t everyone look at cake recipes as soon as they wake up?) and I need to find an excuse to make it. Mmmmm.

5. I find it funny that earlier in the day, I think “I can’t wait for Kaya to take a nap because I’m sooo tired and need one too!”, but then as soon as she’s asleep… I’d rather blog or edit photos or deconstruct that dress. Yep. (Can I also mention how I can’t believe my baby turns 10 months old tomorrow?)IMG_20130717_195829

random wednesday

I have a few bits and pieces of happenings and photos from the past few days, so here they are, all jumbled up for your enjoyment!

On Saturday, our friends Chris and Cerina were in town! We had them and Mike and Amanda over for some pizza and games. There’s never a dull moment when these guys are together!_MG_8030

Kaya wore this beautiful dress to church on Sunday. It’s a good thing she looks so cute in it, because the glitter just kept falling off those adorable little polka dots and all over her face, my face, my dress, and Michael’s suit!

Someone thinks it’s fun to blow “raspberries” on her pacifier. Goofy kid. I do the same thing all over her cheeks and tummy though, so it was only a matter of time until she started imitating me. (You might want to turn your volume up for this one!)

And look who’s back from her honeymoon! So excited to have Lelia back in town 🙂IMG_20130109_185739
