Before and After

So I finally got around to painting our downstairs half bath a few weeks ago. The bright yellow was giving me a headache every time I looked at it, so it had to go. The before pictures don't even do it justice because it was more neon yellow in person ( and with a flowery border at the ceiling), classy.

One More Wedding Post

Between Dustin and I we had 3 siblings getting married this summer! This last weekend we headed to St. Louis for the 3rd and final wedding of Dustin's younger brother DJ and his new wife Danielle. We are so happy for the 2 of them and we had a great weekend with the Dustin's family.
The night before the wedding we headed out to a nice dinner with DJ, Dustin's parents and Dustin's brother Josh. It was an all you can eat Brazilian Steakhouse, and it was so yummy. We all loved the cooked pineapple!
Joni and Pete with their baby boy DJ.
The day of the wedding was beautifully sunny and hot as can be.

After the wedding we headed to a wonderful luncheon at the cheesecake factory.
I helped my sister in law Rachelle with some of the goodies for the reception as well as the wedding cake that turned out beautiful and tasted delicious. It was a great day and a great summer of weddings!

Washington Weekend/ Chase and Ali's Reception

I was able to go home to Seattle this weekend to see my family and go to my brother Chase and his new wife Alison's wedding reception. The party was so fun with perfect weather and great food. The Happy couple
Could I have a cuter niece?!
The food was so yummy. Gourmet burgers with every kind of topping. I put bacon, sauteed onions, and sun dried tomato aioli on mine. It was delish. We also had root beer on tap in a keg. Let just say I drank way too much root beer the whole weekend.
My grandma came up from Salt Lake. It was so fun to spend time with her.
The whole fam! We missed Erin and Jake in Hawaii and Dustin who had to stay back in Atl for work.
I loved spending time with Lucy and Hayden. They are so adorable, we spent the whole weekend laughing at all the funny things they do.
We went to downtown Enumclaw for some teriyaki (naturally) and ice cream.
Swimming at Aunt Jeri and Uncle Alans.
It was such a fun weekend. Hopefully it won't be too long until I can go visit again. My mom is coming to visit in 2 weeks so that will definitely be something to look forward to.

Updates!!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

Destin Florida

We wanted to get out of town this weekend but with the holiday the flights were packed so we decided to hop in the car and drive somewhere instead (something we haven't done in while!). We had heard how beautiful Destin, Fl is and it's only a four and a half hour drive. So we punched in Destin, Fl in our GPS and headed south. We are so glad we went, and wish we had visited there sooner. We were amazed at how beautiful it was, it felt like we were in Mexico. The sand was white and powdery, the ocean water was clear and green, and the weather was warm sunny and perfect! We LOVED it.
