sync

first of all

from the bottom of my heart

THANK YOU!

to know that so many of you are lifting prayers up for my friends

is worth more than anything

alrighty

i feel the need to sync my social network status

round up facebook status & tweets over the last few weeks

 here's to the randomness of life

riveting

isn't it?

so

 remember little bit asked if we'd get her a turtle?

no way jose

 was my basic answer

funny thing...just a few days later

low & behold

we found a turtle in our yard

so we photo opp'd with the little fella

see him down there?

we began to worry that perhaps mr turtle was stuck

for days we would only see him peeking from under our porch

being the animal softie i am

i did the respectable thing

&

called in big daddy to save the day

 "figure out a way to get the little guy out"

well anytime he'd show his face

& we'd get near him, he scurry back underneath

i laid awake at night worrying that mr turtle was

sure to die a certain untimely death

beneath my back porch

several days passed

i peeked under there constantly but couldn't find him

sheesh

but this story

thankfully

has a happy ending

 sunday afternoon we finally got some rain

& sure 'nuf

out crawled mr turtle

praise god

seriously

he spent about an hour hanging in a big puddle

& then crawled off into the sunset

so to speak

my running partner

aka brinkley

apparently sprained his ankle

$421 at the vet to prove it

( he may have twisted it during our run...i feel horrible...who knew)

pain meds & strict rest for two weeks

he stands at the window & cries when he sees me putting on my running shoes

i tried to photograph him yesterday after my run

i think he was kinda mad at me...

hence the i'm not looking at you pose

been sprucing up the home for fall

this was my september kitchen vignette

prior to its october make-over

shoot...forgot to upload that photo

later

traded out the thriving fern

for some pumpkins

which i must tell you

are in abundance this year

i usually road trip for all my funky ones

but walmart has totally stepped up to the plate this year

of course it always causes me a little stress

when people--aka check out lady at walmart-- picks up a pumpkin or gourd by their stem

oh for heavens sake lady

its all about the stem

 & speaking of walmart

i made it home with one of these

darby said so

darby knows everything

goodbye microwave popcorn

walmart?

seriously?

yes my friends

walmart carries meyer's clean day products

out of order image of gorgeous

 gigantic cinderella pumpkin

my fashionable olive oil

the girls dressed up for decade day during homecoming week

can you say itchy wig?

& hello to sandy from Grease

thrill of thrills

i found a totally anthropologie worthy sweater

at tjmaxx

insert awkward self portrait

 bought two of course

my boots arrived from Ruche

i <3 Ruche

i feel the need to tell you

that despite how they look

those are NOT mom jeans

but sadly they look sorta momjeanish in the photo

they aren't

pinky swear

still having fun editing photos from savannah's homecoming
