Fall-ing in love ❥

Okay friends it has been A LONG time!! SO sorry!  So much has been going on.  Get ready for a post full of photos, work & fun!

First off, My business has been going great!  It's been so much fun designing and customizing wedding and holiday greeting cards for people.  I've stayed so so busy and am feeling extremely blessed!! Here a few of my recent designs







My best friend since forever Kenzie Ward had her sweet baby boy Hunter and I was able to create these announcements for her.  He is SO cute!  I love doing baby announcements and am so glad I was able to fly to Utah and visit them (:

Look at that precious boy!! It's okay, you can admit he might
just be one of THE CUTEST babies in the history of babies..
Also while in UT I got to see one of my other favorite babies my
super adorable nephew Luke (:  This boy is tied for world's cutest
baby!! So much cute-ness!  Look at that face!
While in Utah we just HAD to go four wheeling to see the beautiful fall foliage.  That's one of my favorite things about Utah and fall {The second being anything pumpkin flavored}.  I love going up to the mountains and seeing all of Heavenly Father's beautiful creations.  You just can't beat this view.




In between these fun trips to Utah and working like crazy on my business we... BOUGHT A HOUSE!  There's the big news I promised {sorry for all of those who were sure I was preggers.. I'm not haha}.  We are in love!  We found this house about a month and a half ago and seriously everything fell into place just right and it's ours!  For those of you who don't know, the housing market in Texas is CRAZY!  People look at houses and within 24 hours of them being put up for sale {or even way before that} they're sold!  It's wild and you have like zero negotiation room.  I won't bore you with our whole story but long story short our house had an offer on it before ours but it fell through with the buyers financing and then it was ours!  So crazy!  Tender mercy how it all fell into place.  The last few months we had been looking online casually for homes and ones like this one are far and few between.

signing! 
Thanks to our realtor Leah for the beautiful sign (:
So now we are homeowners {yay!}.  We have spent our time every since painting, taking far too many trips to Lowe's & Home Depot {I've also come to a conclusion, Home depot/Lowes are the hobby lobby craft store for boys.  Josh could be there for HOURS!}, lots of yard work for josh.. it was a little neglected, & cleaning.  All the fun homeowner things.  We haven't moved in yet between doing all of this but we often visit to sit on our new couch and play games enjoying our new home (:

Paint love from joshua (: presh.

Last week I flew to Denver Colorado to visit my best friend Ashley for her birthday {thank you flight benefits!} it was a BLAST.  I have missed her so much and loved getting to see colorado.

Her hilarious dog Oscar

Happy happy birthday!  It was SO strange to be in cold weather!
This year we were able to participate in the 2014 Jet Pull.  SO fun!  We can now say we pulled a commercial aircraft with a rope.

Team win (:

It was a blast!  I was so grateful I was able to go.  Starting to really love American Airlines.

We are also officially Texans now Woo-hoo!



That's all I can think of from the last few weeks... So now onto this weekend!  Josh's old friends from Beta came and visited us on Friday and spent the night it was so fun to have some familiar faces around.


We were also able {between all the house work!} to go see Meet the Mormons in theaters on Saturday.  It was AMAZING!  I have to admit I was somewhat skeptical going into it and then completely fell in love. Such a wonderful movie we recommend it to all!  And yes you heard right, it SOLD OUT in Dallas!! Way to go!!


And good news.. This weekend it finally got below 80 degrees here in the lone star state.  So you know what that calls for!  hot chocolate, chicken noodle soup, all things pumpkin and blankets!




YUM!
And that's all folks!  Thanks for checking in sorry it has been so long.  I solemnly swear I will do a better job of updating you (: XO
