Top 2 Tuesday: Things you want to accomplish

I love Top 2 Tuesday and am excited to be joining in again.

Today's topic over @ The Undomestic Momma is "Top 2 things you want to accomplish before the end of the year."

1. Get back in shape

Josh and I have been working out pretty hard for the last week and my booty is on fire!

I just need to keep it up and stay strong with the abundance of yummy fall treats @ work -- one downside of working at the coffee shop ;)

2. Go back over to Montana

Our family cabin in Montana is such a relaxing retreat and we would love to go back for a long weekend this fall. Some year I think it would be really fun to spend Christmas over there at the cabin in the snow.

Hope you all are having a great Tuesday! Muah :)

Fall Favorites

I don't know about where you live but here in the Great Northwest it's beginning to feel a lot like fall. The siblings are back in school, leaves are changing, our lone pumpkin is growing in the garden, the air is crisp -I love it!!

Some of my fall favorites are:

Football

*especially UW football @ Husky Stadium*

Go Dawgs!!

Getting all snuggled up with a fire in the fireplace

YANKEE candle's Harvest scent

Hot apple cider

Little Kid Halloween Costumes

I'm having so much fun looking at costumes for Jay this year!

What do you love about fall? I had to stop myself ...

I could have gone on forever!

*and you better believe I take full advantage of snuggling up to "The Heater" aka the Mr.*

Sunday Funnies

Lehigh Bound

Today my sister-in-law, Elle, left for college all the way in Pennsylvania :(

Isn't she gorgeous?!

Not only is she really really ridiculously good looking, she's super smart...

Elle was the Salutatorian for her graduating class!

Oh, and she was student body president...

*no biggie*

Did I mention that she was also the captain of the girl's basketball team?

Basically Elle is amazing.

I love her so much and am so proud of the incredible woman she is becoming. Last night we had a farewell dinner for Elle. I don't think it really sunk in with anyone until we started saying goodbye for the night that it was really goodbye until Christmas!!

Group hug around Elle last night.

This morning we met up with Elle before she got on the ferry to head to the airport.

Did I mention that Elle has a studly older brother?! ;)

{this is when the tears started}

We love you Ellie!!

I hope you have an amazing time @ college. If you ever need us we're only a phone call away... and don't forget to Skype us!!

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you one of my most favorite things about Elle...

She's never afraid to bust out her sweet dance moves!

*elle & my brother @ our wedding bustin' a move*

Elle- dance party when you get back for sure!!

2 years and counting...

Two years ago today I married my best friend. I'm so thankful for Josh and I couldn't imagine going through life with anyone else. It's been an adventure to say the least but I wouldn't trade it for the world. With each passing day I my appreciation and love for him grow and I couldn't ask for a more wonderful husband.
