may/june in instagrams

These are some of my favorite memories of may and june as told through instagrams.
Some of the happiest times in my life right here!

yesterday was my favorite day in a long time

The sun was shining.
We browsed around powells.
Ate at the foodcarts on 10th and alder.
ate a doughnut.
relaxed at home on the couch.
took a long walk around our neighborhood.
all while having long talks about the past and the future
it was pretty perfect..





bbq sandwich for him

spinach and pesto crepe for me.



oreo doughnut. maybe overkill... or maybe the best doughnut ever.




this is my favorite house in our neighborhood. i want to live in it.

soda dates

Josh and i discovered a soda place a few blocks down from our house that has become one of our favorite simple date places. (sidenote: we've been going on lots of fun dates lately, making up for lost time!) Now I'm not a soda drinker in terms of regular soda (ie: coke, sprite, ect) but i love me a specialty soda, made with cane sugar and natural flavors like juice (what a concept!). One of my favorites is Dry soda, i LOVE the lavender one. The one below was lemongrass and it was also great.

We went again yesterday and i got Thomas kemper bumble berry, with hints of honey and vanilla.. SO GOOD!





josh has been working his way through all the different orange cream sodas. (..boring)

p.s. have i mentioned how awesome it is to have him home.. i'm on cloud 9 all the time.

nephew on the way

After many years of trying, plenty of heartache and lots of prayer, my oldest sister and her husband are expecting their first child in January. I couldn't be more excited for them.

As soon as they found out the sex, i couldn't resist picking out a little onsie to send.
And since baby things are the most fun to make, i whipped up a little bib too. which was so cute i almost wanted to keep it for myself.. ha!

xo.
