Catching Up

You know how it is when you haven't talked to someone in forever, and when you finally do you have a bazillion things to say, and you can't stop talking? This post might kind of be like that. I've been computer-less this last little while, and I've missed sharing stuff. This is just a teeny bit of what I wanted to share... but I have to go to bed sometime! I finally got to see my wonderful friend, Marci's house, and it was everything I hoped for and more! I seriously have not been so inspired in a long time. I only wish I could hang out at Marci's every day for awhile and soak in the feeling.
Marci and her adorable little girl, Peyton. She was so cute, and a little shy... I hope I get to take a lot more pictures of her someday!

Marci had the neatest things everywhere... she has the kind of place that you could look and look, and it always feels fresh and fun.
Her kitchen sink was to die for!!! I love love love it, along with everything else.
And I promised I wouldn't share the pictures I took of her sewing room, but I had to... sorry, Marci! ;) Don't you just want to spend all day in here creating? Ever since I saw it, I keep thinking where on earth I could stash a creating room for me in my house... I've come up with nothing...

I got new shoes. BUT... that's not all. I also got ANOTHER pair of new shoes and a new skirt. I'll have to take pictures of those later. (My mom is amazing... she always finds the best stuff, and I get to be the lucky recipient a lot of the time!)

Melissa, Landon, Josie, Payton, and Haylee came to visit us. It went by SO FAST, and I cried after they left. We had so much fun, and the best thing is that we didn't really do anything. We just were together, and it was the best weekend I've had in a long time. I still get the giggles when I think of little Payton streaking through the living room, pantsless, and waving at me, saying "Hi, Mindy!" I love these kids. Just look at my Haylee! Sigh. I really really tried to get them to leave one of the kids, but it just didn't happen.

Melissa did Josie's and Aubrey's hair the same... they looked so cute!

My mom and Aubrey and I looked through old pictures when I was there. I took pictures of some of them, in hopes of preserving them from fading further. This one was already blurry, so don't blame me! ;) I just loved it... it's me and my dad.

And this picture.... it's legendary. I'm really sorry, Dad. I couldn't help myself.
