where you invest your love, you invest your life

Welp here's my brother all grown up

apparently he ignored or did not read my last blog post instructing him to stop getting older

Thought I'd put this up too because he looks so old - and his girlfriend is adorable.



Since I've been so freakin busy this weekend and will be for the rest of the week I probably won't be posting as much as usual.

I'm sure you'll all miss me dearly...ha.

Honestly, right now, I just want this week to be over.

I want it to be Friday night when I party it up for my birthday.

or Saturday when all my friends from out of town start arriving

or I want it to be Sunday at 6pm.

after the ceremony, but before the party :)

For now I'm going to leave you with a few pictures {okay, maybe lots} from last summer.

P.S. 5 days :)

no man knows he is young while he is young

Today my baby brother graduates from high school.

Yeah this kid

Who used to be this dork

He's brilliant so he attends a fancy high school several hours away.

Most of my day will be spent at work then road tripping down for the festivities.

Nothing has made me feel so old as my brother's 18th birthday and his graduation this weekend.

Silly siblings, did I forget to tell you that you're not allowed to grow up?

Since I'll be busy feeling old all day, I only have a couple things to share.

Here's a sneak peak at the new crafts I've been working on

{while neglecting my wedding projects...heh}

{super cute fridge magnets! also, don't judge me - I'm not a photographer}

And..... :)

Chyeah. I get to practice that all I want.

In fact, I have to practice that. I'm surprisingly {and amusingly} bad at signing that name.

Have a fantastic weekend!

there's more to living than being alive

Despite the fact that I'm getting married in under two weeks,

I can't focus.

I'm distracted by all the plans Austin and I have for the summer.

One of which is the Cornerstone Music Festival at the end of June.

We get to spend a week camping with our best friends, going to tons of outdoor shows, and

this year we get to help host the free ramen tent.

Which is...well...a tent that has free ramen all week. Ha.

Its going to be the most exhaustingly awesome vacation this summer.

It doesn't help that I just found out that Listener will be there.

Along with My Epic

Listener and My Epic have really, really good lyrics.

And, as usual, Timbre - who is a funny lady :)

My parents bought my ticket for my birthday :)

I'm so excited.

Also, I found this lovely crafter named Laurie Cinotto.

She makes lots of beautiful wedding things. I wish I had found her earlier...

Aren't they lovely?

I hope you have a wonderful day :)
