ONE. Mom and Sister Visit.
This week my mom and sister came for a 4 days visit and it was fun. I miss them being so close. We went to old town Eureka, explored Moonstone Beach, rafting on the Trinity River (sights included a bald eagle, naked hippies, gorgeous water and gorgeous views), and visiting local things. I can't wait until they can come up again!

TWO. Photos.
Mine and Mike's photos are all edited and done! Yay! Jessica of Jessica C. O, Photography did a give away on her Facebook page and I won!! I never win big things. I was so stoked. Here are a few to enjoy.








THREE. Godly Man.
My husband is not only a good man but he is a godly man. And I am so thankful for him. I'm thankful for his hard work and him valuing family time with family we don't see often over making extra money. I'm tankful for his ability to make situations fun and be firm at the same time. Point is, I'm thankful for him!

FOUR. Impromptu Visits.
Since Mike and I live with my brother and his wife that means there can be a lot going on. So, today some friends came over. Sure it was unexpected because my sister-in-law invited them over but it was good and fun! I'm glad for the unexpected things. Plus, it's not like I was doing much. ;)

FIVE. Netflix.
I mean seriously, I'm happy for it.

How was your week?

High Five for Friday

ONE. Spontaneous get away with the Hubby.
We went to Fort Bragg for a one night get away and it was fun! We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast for the first time and definitely suggest doing it. We stayed in the Buttercup room. It was at the top of the stairs with cool angled ceilings and lots of white and yellow. When we got there, we went to Glass Beach. I saw an awesome photo of it on Pinterest a few years ago and brushed it off as a place I would never get to go to because, why would I go to northern California? Now I live in northern California. 
Two thoughts about God came from this:
1) God knows the desires of your heart, no matter how small. Really, going to Glass Beach wasn't a huge desire but it was one God made happen. So cool. "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:4 
2) He makes all things new. Even an old dump sight like Glass Beach. Now it's a place where people go to explore in hopes of finding beautiful sea glass.
Here are some photos of our trip (There are A LOT of photose. Feel free to scroll past my excitement of our get away).

TWO. Quality time with my sis-in-law.
Last Saturday, Kristyn and I hit up the Arcata Farmer's Market. We got succulents, 4 new types of flowers,  and new foods. Then we went to lunch and Target. Perfect! Even though we now live together, I think it's important for her and I to do dates. :) 

THREE. Photo shoot.
Mike and I had our photos taken on Tuesday by Jessica of jcophoto (we made her home page)! We haven't had any professional photos since our wedding 3+ years ago. Photos are so important. Get them done. I'm so blessed to have won her give away!

FOUR. Sleep and kitties.
I love sleep. And I love kitties. That is all.

FIVE. Music.
It makes my body and soul move. I feel it in my soul. God is good.

How was your week? Do anything awesome?
