Go Broncho's

A couple of weeks ago, Adam and I went out to support his High School Football team, The Bethany Broncho's!

Sean, one of Adam's very best friends is on the Broncho coaching staff, so we were there to really support him! We sat in the freezing cold, cheering on the team...and it was great! We sat with Amy (one of my bf's) and Baby Beckham.

Sean's family, and countless people we knew...sometimes being in a smaller town isn't the best, but honestly there are way more pro's than con's. Even though it was freezing, being out there with people you know and love, can't help but give you the warm fuzzies! (as my Honey would say)

Sorry Meek, you didn't quite make the whole pic!!!

bad, bad blogger!

I have been such a bad bad blogger! No excuses, just a bad blogger!

I went two weeks ago to my sister's in Georgia. There I helped her work on some projects she has been working on. We finished out a pastor's office at her church,

decorated a man's house top to bottom with donations and thrift store finds, (no pics, I forgot! but this man has been living with my sister, his home was destroyed by a flood and left him with nothing....he truly had joy in his heart, and was so thankful to God for a roof over his head and donations, he was so complimentary of our work and I know we were there to help him and decorate home, but honestly we were the ones that were blessed)

We worked on some installation at her husband's paper mill.

I should have taken more pictures of what we actually did at the mill, and not just goofing around in Andy's office! The machines there are super cool and extra complicated! I wish I had a pic of the machine up and running, but I left my camera in the office while I was on my machine tour! Oh well, maybe next trip...(which will hopefully be super soon, already missing all the Joyner's)

We did get to have lots of fun while we weren't working....we went to IKEA

(oh the greatness that is self timer) we took the boys to Home Goods (and they were so good the whole time)

and of course Ash had to take me to SWOOZIES! I have heard all about it and was dying to go, it was a paper paradise...they had lots of stuff to personalize, invitations, bags, jewelry, gifts, and LOTS OF OTHER STUFF! It was great, I loved it!

Im so lucky to have such an amazing sister, and I love her precious husband, Andy, and all their kiddo's , Annabel, Taylor, William, & Bennett!!

hartmann!

Usually this time of year my sister Ashley and her two girls (Annabel & Taylor) make the drive up to Lebanon Tennessee, and attend the yearly Hartmann Factory Sale!! didn't happen this year, but Hartmann has come out with a leather tote line, and I am in LOVE!


No babies for us, but I can't help but this what a darling diaper bag this would make!!!


this is the Hampton's bag, and retails for $500.00
This is a lot for a bag, but it is a bag that is guaranteed for LIFE! if anything goes bad with it the factory will replace it no questions asked. They will also give their customers free maintenance!


Here is the more budget friendly Nantucket bag. She retails for $450.00!

Christmas is coming up......hopefully my precious husband, or sister will take the hint......
Love you both!!

Dreaming of an OKC ikea!

This next weekend, Adam and I will be going to Dallas to keep my brothers THREE precious little boys. Jason, Kyle, and Joshua. We had them a whole week this summer, and are looking forward to a weekend with them again. I got to visit them this past weekend while I was in Dallas with my family (Adam had gone to Nashville for a business meeting and I didn't want to stay alone for three days) My brother brought his boys over (his wife had gone out of town too) my poor parents......they thought all the kids had left?! What a weekend it had been, four adults, three little boys cooped up in the house because it rained ALL weekend...and FIVE dogs. My parents have three, and I have two (I couldn't leave them home all alone!) I'm sure when we all left they smiled!

long ramble later....back to next weekend, not only am I super excited to see Jason, Kyle, and Joshua...but also really excited that they only live about 10 minutes from IKEA!! I think I love it so much because I can't drive up the street and visit one here. I do love their super affordable stuff, and the endless options you can create with in the store. Adam promised me he would take the boys to a movie saturday afternoon so I can go to ikea for a couple of hours! What a precious husband!
I do know that ikea is a franchise, so maybe someone with some pull around here (OKC) can talk to some money and get someone to invest! I'm sure it would do awesome with all the local schools in the area. If not at least I have a reason to go to Dallas every few months!

Im still having lots of fun making cards...I made this mailer for fall


and this cute staionary for myself

Seriously check out Sarah Richardson, and you will understand why
I want her to be my best friend!
