If one more baby is born in September, I will scream!

Ok, I wont scream.
Unless it is born into my family!!
Seriously. I'm pretty sure each day is taken by a different family member!

If you are not family you might as well skip this next section, because I'm sure you don't care!

This is a shout out to all the past and coming birthdays...
{I am regretting ever giving a happy birthday shout out to anyone! You don't understand how many there are this month! And I don't want to leave anyone out now that I started this stupid thing!}


Happy birthday Hannah!! You are such an amazing little sister-in-law! I love you to death and I'm so proud of the woman you are becoming!

Happy birthday to my dear loving sister, Athena! You may be an old lady, but I still love you and I know you would always be there for me no matter what!

Happy birthday to my niece Sophia! You probably wont read this, but I love you anyways! You are growing up so fast!

Happy birthday to my other loving sister, Andi! {who probably also wont read this!} You have been such a good sister and I know I can always come to you with anything I need and you wont judge me!

Happy birthday to my brother-in-law Funaki!! You have been a great addition to our family and can always lighten the mood, even when there is drama!

Also for last month I missed my two wonderful brother-in-laws, Cody and Zach!
I'm sure you guys don't care, but I might as well add to this unreasonably long list of birthdays.
Happy birthday to both of you! Thank you so much for welcoming me into your family and accepting me! I love you guys!


Alright, now that I am done with that, let me tell you all a little secret. Which isn't very much of a secret!

This girl down here...

For those of you that don't recognize her, that is me!

Anyways, she {and by she I mean I} got a new tattoo!!

My sisters, Athena on the left and Andi on the right

In honor of my sister being an old lady, {she just turned 40!!} we got tattoos together.

For those of you who are 40, or almost 40, or over 40, don't worry, I don't actually think you are an old lady, we just like to give her a hard time! I know she will pay us back when we turn 40!!

I had a really great weekend partying it up with my family! 

I also, had a fantastic weekend because we drove up to Portland to go SHOPPING!!!
I love shopping!
Especially in Portland because they have a much better selection of stores!
Right now I am loving the fact that I am going back to school, because it was such a great excuse to buy lots and lots of clothes! Ok, I wish it was lots and lots!
But I did get some good stuff!

F21

H&M

H&M. Loved this dress, but I didn't get it :(

Yay!! I can't wait to wear all of my new fall clothes!
And show you guys everything I got!


Alright, this is the end of this incredibly random post!
See you guys soon!
{Hopefully with lots and lots of pictures of my new clothes!}

Is it really Monday already??

This weekend went by way too fast! But luckily I got some good quality time with the hubs!

We took a spontaneous trip to the beach!

It was supposed to be really hot and we needed an escape from our un-airconditioned house so we just took off! We never do that, we are usually so up-tight about our budget, but yesterday we definitely needed the break.

(Side note: Our beaches are cold and windy! It is always a safe bet that we can go there to get away from the heat.)

We walked on the beach for about 10 minutes, just long enough to snap these pictures, and get crazy beach hair! The wind was so strong I thought my ears were going to start bleeding, so we didn't stay long.

We headed off to the Outlet malls where Alex surprised me by letting me buy some new clothes!

Which was much needed!!

And I found this perfect bag at Gap for school! It is so huge I will be able to fit my lap top and books in it! Plus, it is super cute.

Then we had a nice dinner at the McMenamins in Lincoln city, which is one of our favorite places to eat... And drink beer. :)

I suppose it is back to reality now.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
