Back to School

It is so hard to believe, but I only have 7 more weekdays off before I return to school. I have really mixed feelings about it. Part of me is excited about getting back in a routine and working again, but another part of me is going to definitely miss the sleeping in, lazy days, and doing anything I want to do. Wednesday I am going to school to work on my room so I am going to post some pictures of what my room will look like this year. The beginning of the year is so crazy and so much of our workdays are taken up by other things we need to do. So hopefully Wednesday I will get everything where I want it and all of my things back up on the walls. Pictures soon!

DIY

A few posts ago I made a TO DO list for myself for my last few weeks of summer. I have checked off 2 things on my list and completed a lot of things that were not on my list. I made myself a coupon book, which I LOVE because I can see my coupons so easily and I completed my jewelry boards! I made 2 jewelry boards, a picture board for school, and a board I can use to hang memos on at school. So here are a few pictures of my completed project.

I bought a pack of 4 cork boards, 4 individual pieces of super cute fabric for $1.00 each, brown ribbon, and clear push pins.



Here is the first jewelry board in the works!

My picture board for school!



Making these jewelry/picture/memo boards was so super easy! I actually got the idea from another blogger. I thought they were the perfect things to hold all my jewelry and I can easily see all of my options!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my WONDERFUL mom! Hope you have a fabulous day!

Thank you for everything you do for us!

Vacation Ideas

So our goal for our third anniversary, June 7th, is to go on a vacation. We went to Mexico on our honeymoon and LOVED it! We would like to go somewhere different. So I am blogging to ask for some advice on places you have been that you would recommend. I would like somewhere tropical and definitely all inclusive. So please let me know if you have any ideas for us!

Summer

It seems that the summer is slowly coming to an end. I think I only have about 5 more weeks before I go back for workdays. That is probably the last time I will say anything about going back to school for sometime.

After working an 8 day summer camp at school, Brandon and I made it to the beach for a week. We had a wonderful time. We ate too much and stayed out on the beach alllll day. It was so nice to get away and not have anything to worry about for a while. We couldn't take Bella and I missed her like crazy.

Since we have been home my summer has consisted of cleaning, reading, and relaxing. My mom was out of town for about 10 days and Brandon and I kept her dogs. So needless to say, this past Monday I spent about 5 hours cleaning my house. I cleaned baseboards, blinds, dusted, vacuumed, and mopped the whole house. I was exhausted when I was finished.

Still on my to do list for the next few weeks:

clean off the shelf in the garage (it is terrible!)
make a jewelry board to hang in my closet
make a picture frame out of an old window (when I get this finished I will post pics)
make a coupon notebook
sale furniture!

Before I go back to school this is what I want to do just one more time...

Happy Anniversary!

This post is a little late, but Monday was our 2 year Anniversary! It is so hard to believe that 2 years ago we were married! It has been an amazing 2 years of loving, arguing, learning, lots of laundry, new house, new (to us) car, and lots of getting used to! I can't wait to spend MANY more years with my wonderful husband! Here are a few pictures from our wedding day...

Our First Dance!

Right after being pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Brandon Tipton!

Loving my HUSBAND!

Happy Anniversary Babe! I love you!
