High Five!

In this High Five, I can finally reveal some secrets that have made some of you wonder... Apparently I shouldn't say things that elude to secrets I might be keeping because it makes the rumors swirl. I love you all for being baby-hopeful for me though! :-)
I forgot the numbers this week...I'm a bit crazy these days!

Top left: We finally got to announce that we're buying a HOUSE! We got the clear to close yesterday and have our closing scheduled for Thursday of next week. This is the big reveal I was referring to a few weeks ago...

Bottom left: Walmart has really stepped it up in the Christmas department. Yes, I am talking about Christmas already...but I will say I am not ok with them skipping over halloween and Thanksgiving and going straight for the Christmas stuff. I just feel like it's rushing things, ya know?

Top right: Can you see the rainbow peeking through the clouds up there? Through this whole house process, I've been reminded of the promises God has made to me. So this picture in short: Rainbows = Promises. I know that His ways are greater than my ways and His plans are FAR better than anything I could work up on my own. It's just awesome to see that played out first hand.

Middle right: I am super excited and terrified about how much of a blank slate this new house is. I am hoping to step our decor up a bit, so ignore any future rants / celebrations over the perfect tissue box or towel rod. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

Bottom right: I actually took this picture a few weeks back but I was slack and didn't High 5 you that week, so here it is. We had a date night and went to Copper River. Have you ever noticed that little bunker right as you walk into the bar area? That's where we sat and yeah, I'll admit that I was acting like a kid in my very own tree house. It was so cute with its own little walls and our very own TV that Chase promptly turned OFF of the nascar race. I highly suggest you sit there for your next date night. :-)

High Five!

Well folks, I've been so slack since I've been on vacation…including the High Five!

Here it is…


1. This has been my view for the past week. Enough said.

2. My sweet hubby reminds me on a daily basis why I married him.

3. I'm two books down and starting the third today!

4. Here's my view from the bed in the morning. Blue skies and the sun shining. It's a GREAT way to wake up!

5. Chase has been in volleyball heaven this week. He's been able to join a game every day we've been on the beach. His love for volleyball is beyond my comprehension but it makes him happy so… :-)

High 5 for Friday!


1. My niece got married this past weekend. Her dad actually built that barn. Like, from scratch. It was pretty cute.

2. Yes, those are our feet under our fleece blankets. Sunday nights are quickly becoming our favorite nights. We always eat something yummy for dinner and then snuggle up together to watch our favorite shows. Good times, people, good times.

3. Our favorite funny show is back on starting this week. We. Love. New Girl.

4. I'm seriously considering making a paper chain to count down the days to our vacation. We are exactly 10 days away right now. We'll be spending an entire week at the beach house doing nothing. Yep, that sounds like heaven to me!

5. Yes, those are marshmallows. And I am thankful for the edible ones, but this week I'm really thankful for our new mattress. I've always wanted a marshmallow bed. You know the kind - the ones that hug you and you can hear it saying "shhhh you don't have to get out of bed all day...". Ok, that would be creepy, but you know what I mean. I haven't slept this good in a LONG time. :-)
