Summer
Summer in Seattle. It's beautiful, and as the years go by, increasingly unpredictable. Today is gorgeous and the 4th if July weekend is to be enjoyed. I'm sad that I will not be here to enjoy it. As Dave said last night, "when summer hits, there is nowhere else in the world I would be but here". And I completely agree. 75 degrees, no clouds, a nice breeze. Perfection. We will get to enjoy it tonight as were cooking out on our awesome infrared grill. The perfect kickoff for our mini vacation. I hope when we come back it's just as nice as it us right now!!

Hello!
Hi! This is exciting for mw b.c I have been thinking about blogging for many many months. I wanted to start after we got engaged in January, but life got ahead of me. :) For me, with school, work, wedding planning, my best friend having her first child along with a dear friend close to me having her second, and all the other things life throws your way, I am super busy most of the time.
This weekend leads up to the Fourth of July. I love it so much. The 4th is one of my all time favorite holidays. This stems from the fact that I am a AF brat! The parades and food and family time is the best along with summer. This year my family is meeting up in Las Vegas! Its been a busy year for my lil sis too. She is the first in the family to graduate college and she just turned 21. SO we decided to take on Vegas over the 4th! Its been a long time since we were all together for this holiday and were all looking forward to it!
As a result I hit up the mall today to get some snazzy new makeup to make the trip more glamorous. Sis wanted some baked gold eyeshadow replacement from Victoria's Secret. While I was there I picked up one for myself as well as a bronze and a pearl one. I also decided to check out Bare Minerals. I usually go to Sephora but I decided to mix it up a wee bit. I really enjoyed my time there. The makeup artists name was Jaime (good sign right!?!). We played with purple shimmer/glittery shades. It was great. I decided to get the Bare Minerals starter kit in light b.c I am soooo fair. I really like it. I will post pics as the weekend progresses!
