WE ARE BACK ... again! and this time i actually have photos! due to laziness of not updating our blog, you are now seeing what should have been ten posts put into ONE! a few summer trips, a good friends wedding, and home remodeling project! we have had a crazy couple of months, but we have for the most part enjoyed every minute!
one year after the passing of my mom, my family chose to have her ashes spread in the ocean near Balboa Island where we grew up going as kids. it was the most amazing and spiritual experience. we spent a week relaxing at the beach and spending time outside of our typical crazy lives! it was SO fun!

the newleyweds ... paul and suzanna!
our good friends got married this summer in Wyoming, we took a couple extra days and drove through Jackson, Yellowstone and Island Park. GORGEOUS!
i loved how her hair turned out, it only took me over an HOUR to perfect this masterpiece.

the only way i can enjoy the outdoors with my husband ... tanning in the boat while he fishes!

the mirror that has been sitting in the kitchen just waiting to be hung. i love my husband but he is not the most handy, but he is learning how to be!
i hope you enjoyed my novel of pictures! our house is so fun but still needs work, i feel liked we have worked on it since we moved in and we haven't even touched the basement. if only money grew on trees .... i'd probably be living in Hawaii on the beach.
