Total Bummer

So I know I promised I would let the cat out of the bag today but we had an super misfortune when we returned from Charlotte this weekend and I am still in loads of paperwork with the hubs!

Someone hit Andrew's car and didn't leave a bit of information. 
Luckily we have the world's best neighbors that went and wrote down their information so that is how we spend out night last night.

Today we are playing catch up :(
A recap on my weekend tomorrow and my surprise on Thursday :)
Hopefully you wont hate me!

You Matter


I saw this floating around and it really struck me.
Do I treat everyone like they matter to Jesus?
I'll be the first to admit absolutely not.
If I did I would be a perfect person and wouldn't need a wonderful Savior to save my sins.
I am so grateful for His love and that no matter what happens He will never love me any less than with everything He has and its so much more than I can imagine.
I put so much into showing Christ to Andrew through my actions and I should because he is my husband.
I work to show Christ to my friends and family.
But what about those who don't know Christ. 
 I want to focus more on others seeing Christ through me.

A little Bedroom DIY

So I love our bedding, I love our curtains, I love our antique nightstands, I love how calming our rooms is. But when you have antique nightstands there comes a point when they need some updating.
That point for us my friends, came a few weeks ago.


So here my friends are the nightstands before. They are made of solid wood. They just don't make them like this anymore so I didn't want to get rid of them!!
They are my great grandmothers to, so they're pretty special.

After a few days or sanding, priming, and painting these little beauties are right back where they belong.. in our room with much update wardrobe :)






Now all I need are so lamps!

Our Cheese and Entree Pot! The cheese is my favorite part! We did a pesto cheese and it was amazing!!

For our meat I tried duck for the first time and it was pretty good!

From Raleigh to.... Seattle?

No we aren't moving but goodness it feels like we already have!
I don't know what is up with this summer this year but it has been the rainiest one I have seen in a long time.
I mean we are in monsoon season here in Raleigh and this is how I feel everyday when I am in the car coming home

And lets talk about my favorite summer item I am missing out on...
WHITE DENIM!!!

It's really hard to enjoy it when it rains!
Here's to hoping this next week and a half will be bright and sunny so I can wear my denim before Labor Day comes and I have to wait till April :(

That Time I Met NSYNC

So if you haven't heard the news NSYNC is talking about coming together for the VMA's
Melt my 24 year old heart I am in love!!!!

Yes NSYNC I want you BACK!



So now I am gonna make all you other NSYNC-ER's super jealous and tell you about the time I met NSYNC.
Let's just say it was the highlight of my awkward middle school years!

My friend from middle school had a sister who was part of Lance Bass's Label so when NSYNC came to Charleston that year guess who got to go backstage and meet them-- this girl!
(Pardon the picture quality)
We got to go to a meet and greet before the concert. 
Yes Chris does have some weird thing on his head.

Yup that awkward girl on the right wearing way to much Limited Too is me.
Why is middle school so cruel??

Next it was time for the concert!

When I was in Middle School I was so excited we were so close we got pictures of his armpit hair!
This was before zoom ladies so we cool!

So what about you? 
Are you excited for some NSYNC reunion songs on the VMA's?
