i know, i know, i'm a terrible blogger!

eek it's been awhile since i've updated our blog, but we have been BUSY! i was in THREE beautiful weddings this summer, so we were at party after party! it was a lot of fun to see all of my friends and get some good ideas for our upcoming wedding!! so, now that my bridesmaid duties are done for the year i am in full bridezilla mode! ;) i'm planning like crazy and trying to do what i can to save a buck here or there. i CAN NOT WAIT to have all of the people we love in one room!! it will be amazing!!

ok, now onto why you all really read this blog: EVERLEIGH! our little booboo is going to be ONE year old next saturday! what a great year this has been! it has been so fun watching her grown and learn. her newest things are: high fives (thanks to auntie lindsey), LOTS of talking (maahh, dadadada, gahhgoogee), and though we're still working on that whole walking thing she can crawl like nobody's business!

Oh- and i'm sure you all know...but justin will be home in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS!!!! ahhhhh i was just telling him, i don't know if i've ever been this excited for something in my life!! this year has been long and at times tough, and we couldn't have gotten through it without the support of our amazing friends and family! so THANK YOU!! we found a great house to rent in tacoma, it's about 20 minutes from work for justin and gated (even during the day) for safety. i'm really excited to start decorating! i've even started painting some of our furniture to make it seem like new (and so it matches).

ok, here's the fun stuff...pics and videos from the past couple months:
