A Weekend of Celebrating

Emily flew home for a visit this weekend. Little did she know, it was no ordinary visit. My little Emmy got engaged this weekend. She is all grown up and she is going to be a bride! Lucky for her, I have a Pinterest wedding board and I have been pinning away ideas for my sisters to use. 

Chad proposed in Parkville where they had their first date...precious. 

After, they came back to my house where friends and family were waiting to celebrate. 

The celebrating continued on Saturday when we traveled to Columbia to tailgate for the MU Homecoming Game.

What a fun weekend! 

Congrats to Emily and Chad...now on to wedding planning!

Free Fall Decorating

My grandma was cleaning up her garden and she had a box full of dried gourds that she was going to trash. They were looking pretty bad but I thought that they had potential.

I scrubbed the dirt off and used some leftover spray paint/acrylic paint to give them new life. 

I was pretty impressed with how well they turned out. They are so fun and festive! 

Yay for free fall decorating! Happy crafting! 

San Fran

Remember when Emily moved out?  It was a very sad day. 

We miss seeing her sweet face every day and hearing her run up the stairs like my mom. My siblings will know exactly what I am talking about! 

This past weekend, I flew to San Fran to see Emily. I had a great time catching up with her, seeing her new place, and exploring the city. 

Rumor has it that Emily will be moving home sooner rather than later. 

I sure hope so!
