f a l l

Hi guys! After a long [and I mean seriously long, sorry!] hiatus from the blogging world, I'm back! These past few months have been a complete whirlwind! I went up to Portland for my beautiful friend Madison's bridal shower, rented a cabin with some of our friends in Flagstaff for a weekend, had Paul's mom and step dad visit for the fourth, went to Vegas for a weekend with my girls, stayed at home in AZ for the first time by myself while Paul went on a guys camping trip, turned 23, left for Portland for ten days for said beautiful friend's AMAZING wedding [seriously guys, this was the most gorgeous and love-filled wedding I have ever been to! It was the most amazing expression of Tyler and Madison's love, and it could not have been more perfect.], returned to Arizona, camped in Sedona with our friends Kim and Chad for a weekend, went to a Blake Shelton concert, floated the Salt River, and somehow between kept working 50 hour work weeks. Told ya- whirlwind!! But I have finally had a few minutes to get my head back together and realized I hadn't blogged in four months!! Here's a very compressed photo dump of the last few months, and a long awaited "taking stock" post. 

Making: can you guess? Christmas stockings! I'm trying to convince myself that it's fall here (without much luck), but I got back into my favorite hobby- knitting!
Cooking: guac, guac, and more guac!
Drinking: So much water. I wish I was saying something more interesting but really. Staying hydrated!
Reading: more like rereading. The last book of my favorite series came out in July and I've read it a few times, but it keeps getting better with each read!
Wanting: snow. and rain. and fall. and trees. 
Looking: at my dogs furiously playing at the foot of my bed. It's not big enough. 
Playing: more Blake Shelton. His concert was amazing. 
Wasting: probably money by turning down the AC, but seriously. 106 in September? It's a crime.  
Wishing: for snow.
Enjoying: finally blogging again!
Waiting: for the dogs to fall asleep so we can move them on the floor
Liking: how tan I am right now! this is extremely unusual
Wondering: why people move to Arizona in the first place
Loving: that Paul and I are doing well at work. It feels good when hard work pays off!
Hoping: that it rains soon. We're supposed to get some flash floods this week and I can't wait!
Marveling: At how our little house has slowly but surely become a home... just in time for our lease to be up!
Needing: to sleep but let's be honest.. I had a coffee at 3pm so that's not going to happen. 
Smelling: aloe vera. always. It's become a serious staple in our house. That and my pups breath.. shockingly good because of these new dental bones we got them. 
Wearing: Paul's camo shirt that I wear 90% of the time to bed. 
Following: trulia, zillow, groupon, the clymb... lots of discount websites going on over here!
Noticing: how freaking cute Penny is. I seriously think she is my soul mate guys. Oh yeah Bear and Paul too.. ;). 
Knowing: how lucky I am so have such a solid foundation. 
Thinking: about work tomorrow and how much laundry I have to fold right now. 
Feeling: pretty content right now! Wishing it was 50 degrees though. 
Bookmarking: houses for rent that we like
Opening: an Etsy shop!! I just opened one for everything that I knit. I realized I stopped knitting because it's way to hot here for knitted items but I missed it so much that I figured why not make them for other people (and make some extra money)
Giggling: over Bear attempting to ump on our bed. How he can't when he is taller than it cracks me up. 
Feeling: excited for winter.
