Conversation #98: The Little Things

So I actually plan on writing a great post soon about the best most fun wedding I ever attended (and was honored to be part of) a little over a week ago now. However, I’m still downloading pics so I’m getting there. In the meantime (and in between the sporadic challenge posts), here are just a couple of little things that have made this unbearably hot summer better:

WATERMELON – I can’t get enough. I might be pregnant (ok, totally not). I think I’m eating so much watermelon that it is making me have to go to bathroom more often. It woke me up three times last night so I cut myself off early last night.

(Picture from here)

Another lovely item: FLOWERS! All of mine are pretty much close to dead with the heat and water restrictions (at least they are definitely not blooming). So the hubby surprised me the other night with these beauties:

They are just so bright and cheery I can’t help but smile! What little things are getting you through the heat? (If you are lucky enough to live in a cooler climate, please remind me what that feels like!)

I agree with the watermelon! Just had some alongside lunch! Also- what a sweet guy your husband is to bring you flowers! They definitely brightens up any day!

The things that have been getting us through the summer: a/c, a surprise trip to Hawaiian Falls, fresh fruit, and just being with my sweet baby and husband! :)

Hugs,
Gail

Conversation #32: Kitchen Design Help!

Okay, I don’t really know that too many people read this blog since I moved to a new address, but I’m begging if you do, please help me. I am at a loss on what to do with part of my kitchen. Here is how I painted my kitchen 3 years ago: It was fun, bright, and I like it, but we decided it needed to be a bit more grown-up these days. I knew we would have to paint it before we moved so we decided to just go ahead and do it now for a change. We decided to go with a gray so that it would be neutral but not boring. However, the gray had a strong blue tone to it on the walls and now I need to phase out my turquoise decor I think. Here are some afters (still putting it back together): Some of these are the same shots but with/without flash to show the colors. I think I really like the new color, but the turquoise trim does not go anymore in my opinion. I’m trying to figure out what to do with it, and I need help!!! ...

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow! It has been too long. I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me. I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday. What was this past Saturday, you may ask? My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement. I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam. I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks. We are done! I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work! Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #190: Build 'Em Up

I was so excited when I read about this new blog link-up happening. I love Eri n and Kelly 's blogs, and I love the idea of women building each other up. There is so much negative and sadness in this world and that just gets me down some days. So let's build each other up and encourage each other! I invite you to take part! The topic this week is "Bringing Faith to Life." If you had asked me to write about this a year or two ago, I would have written such a different pose. God has opened my eyes and revealed so much of His truth to me over the last couple of years that my Faith has just grown and changed so much in such a good way. If you are a long time reader, I shared some of my faith story a while back, but I will give a brief overview real quick. I grew up in a Christian home, became a believer and was baptized in August 1999 (between 8th grade and my freshman year), and then tried to live life following a bunch of "rules" that were probably...
