High Five For Friday

I'm finally checking in since I've been so quiet. We were in Kansas City, Mo for 2 weeks and it was great! We both came back feeling refreshed and already missing the people there.

Linking up with Lauren today!

ONE. In case you missed it on Facebook...

{I'm PREGNANT and we are SO excited about it!!!}

TWO. Vacation.

We were out just about every night of our 2 weeks in Kansas City. We got to spend some much needed time with our dear friends. We went to a wedding, a birthday party, helped throw a surprise party, learned about essential oils, went to all of the food places and shopping places we wanted to hit up, and really got to relax. For all of that, I'm thankful. I also really want to get back there. Like, move back. Oh dreams...

{Old Time Pottery. This is only about 1/4-1/3 of the store.}

{I loved these awesome ocean themed things. 

Thanks to my aunt and her sister-in-law I found a new store to love! 

The store is Petals and Potpourri.}

{Fall colors = <3}

THREE. My husband.

He is the best. He is always a highlight of my week. 

FOUR. Mitzy.

I know she doesn't like pretty much anyone else but she is definitely my kitty and since I'm pregnant I'm enjoying her snuggles.

FIVE. My bed. 

Seriously. I missed it. Sleeping in my bed on Tuesday night was wonderful!

Tell me... How was your week??

San Francisco in a Flash

The plan was to drive through the night last night to get to Oakland for our flight (5 hour drive). Thankfully some friends found out we were doing that and called up their sister to see if we could stay there. She said yes. We left Blue Lake by 11 and just wondered around once we go to SF. 

Here is our quick trip in photos.

{Crossing over!}

{I love all the different styles of home.}

{A lotus!}

{the best view I could get of Alcatraz)

That's it in a nutshell and all out of order. And of course we had In-n-Out!

Saturday Fun!

Today was a full day! 

A group of girls from my church get together once a month for a girls bible study. Two different girls lead each time and it has been wonderful. Today they talked about being dead to sin, alive in Christ (Romans 6:1-14). It lead to good conversation and testimonies being shared. God is so good!

Then we decorated pumpkins... And yes, this one is mine. It shouldn't surprise you one bit if you know me. :)

{pink, sparkle, and feathers = awesome}

I was also loving my outfit today! 

{top: costco baby!; jeans: VaultDenim; Shoes: I don't remember}

You guys, I'm having a great weekend! I hope yours is going well and if it isn't, I hope you're able to handle it all with grace and peace.

High Fiver for Friday: KSS Edition

My weekend is going to be fantastic. I kinda can't wait for it to really start. I get to hang with the hubby tonight. Tomorrow is the monthly girl's bible study group, then they are coming over for pumpkin decorating, and after that there is a birthday party. On Sunday I'll be headed to church, start the packing process for Kansas City, and young married bible study is happenin'. 

I'm one of those weird people who like to pack. Unpacking is another story...

So, what does KSS edition mean?

KSS = Keep it Simple Stupid. Yeah, this post is going to be siiiimple, assuming I can stop rambling...



ONE. Monday Night Bible Study.
What a great group. Seriously. We are all so different but it leads to great conversation and learning opportunities.

TWO. Chip Ingram.
He is awesome! The Monday night group and our young married group are doing studies by him. Google him if you're interested!

THREE. Surprising the Hubby.
I love surprising the hubs at work. Too much fun!

FOUR. Quality Time with New Friends.
I see a lot of awesome people on Sunday mornings, but it's just not enough time. So this past Sunday I made to dates with friends for Wednesday. It was so nice to sit down with those two ladies and get to know them a bit more.

FIVE. Creating.
I haven't gotten creative/crafty in months. That's ridiculous. So today, I got creative and it.is.wonderful. The creative engines are a runnin'!


Do you have any fun plans this weekend?

How was your week? What were your highs?

Classy or Trashy?

If you're like me, when you think of blue eye makeup, you think of Mimi.

{via}

Her outward appearance is so colorful and fun but, not in the best way. When it come to blue eye makeup. Do something sneaky and unexpected. Like eyeliner.

{You can hardly see any blue}

{up close and personal! pop of blue!}

{not sure which brand I used...}

{Earrings; Spotted Poppy Designs}

Blue eye makeup  don't have to be cheep or trashy. You can do even more blue than I have and still look like a fun and classy lady! This is just my "everyday" face. :)

What do you think of blue eye makeup?

If you experiment, I would love to see!
