Week's End

week’s end

SNAPSHOTS:
1. Saturdays + v-necks: there is something so lovely about slipping into the basics! rolled up jeans, a v-neck, and a ponytail. so saturday and so comfy. Bruce calls it my “camp look” and he absolutely adores it! what can i say, i like to make my man happy! what started off as a slow morning quickly turned into adventures around town but that is what is so great about the weekends!

2. new couches! Bruce’s parents were getting new furniture so they were getting rid of there old couches! we jumped on the chance to get ride of the UGLY forest green couches and random pink chair in our living room. the new (to us) and free couches look SO MUCH BETTER than the last set of free furniture! i’ll show you pictures soon!

3. snow delay: so on Thursday we had a three hour delay for work because it snowed a good 6 inches overnight. by the time i started driving home the sun had melted most of the snow. it warmed up to the mid 50’s the next day #ilovecolorado!

4. coffee mornings: i cherish my cup of coffee right when i wake up in the quietness of the house before church (and the day) begins. also, i have a cluttered fridge. i have the hardest time taking anyone off because my fridge serves as a visual reminder to keep those i love in my prayers! feel free to add a picture of yourself to the mix!

OTHER FAVORITES:
– helping my sister-in-law make valentines for her four children to take to class
– playing with my mother-in-laws new smartboard in her firstgrade classroom
– going out to eat with my parents at On the Boarder. and the ladies getting grande margaritas!
– watching the Butler and Despicable Me 2

    That sounds like a lush week Elizabeth; I wish the snow would make its way over to England for a little while! I've just started a new weekly update on my blog and reading this has given me some ideas so thank you 🙂 xx

    Yay for new couches!! We started out with some very tacky floral second hand ones when we first got married. Oh, and I'd also love to hear what you thought of the Butler! We watched Captain Phillips on the weekend, loved it, was totally reminded why Tom Hanks is my favorite actor.

    New couches are always exciting! I love your picture-covered fridge. We have a stainless steel fridge and I had no idea when we bought it that magnets wouldn't stick to it. I miss my picture-covered fridge.

    Lovely shares. Thank you.

    Wishing you a blessed week.
    xoxo

    I'm a huge fan of the "camp look" myself – and the term is a cute one 🙂 Hooray for new (free) couches!! Free furniture is the best!

    You are too cute in the v-neck! I can't wait to see your new couches! And I think we have a blanket similar to yours!
