Well her wedding was absolutly beautiful…one of the classiest and well-done I’ve seen.  Deep, rich navy blues contrasted with soft French blues, creams, and even a light pink.

As I mentioned earlier, Tara and I grew up together.  She’s always been someone I’ve looked up to…and I always will.  Early morning seminary rides, choir trips and performances, Raining Men, college rooms dedicated our huge shoe collection, Thailand scooter rides, Elephant Rides– way too many good times.  I’m so happy for her and for the quality guy she married.  This world will be a better place because of Jared and her.

Classic Children’s Book.  Although, I think the wild things are quite scary.  It amazes me how the little eight-year old isn’t phased at all by them.

I’m also excited for 500 Days of Summer I think it comes out this week.  Since this is a design blog, I thought it appropriate that I show you a clip from when they’re in IKEA.  The first part is brutally cheesy, but then gets better.

Here’s a little secret: she does all the coordinating work for you! I think buying through her lines are great and easy way to get coordinate fabrics without the “matchy-matchy” look…something that designers are hired to do :)

But I’m all about helping my reader’s out.  I even might get some of these fabrics for my own home.  They have the perfect blend of modern with fun; faminine and masculine.  I just wish her fabrics were a little nicer than a simple cotton blend (for my drapes).  Mick and I have been having the hardest time agreeing on patterns we both like.  I think I’ve found a winner though:

or…

from her Daisy Chain line.  She also has beautiful bedding and stationary.  Dear sister Elizabeth, will you please sew me some of these puffs with your mad sewing skills?

While getting my hair done and flipping through this month’s Vanity Fair, I noticed a familiar face in the Burberry adds.  It wasn’t until I did a little google-research to confirm that Emma Watson is the face for Burberry.  She’s gorgeous.  I can see why Mick has a crush on her. And I want that trench coat.

They even come packaged with the little protective jacket that the Asains use with their fancy fruits.  So cute!

This is what Mick and I’s Google Chats are like Friday Afternoons.  I literally copy and pasted.

There aren’t going to be many pictures of me mainly because I looked like this the entire weekend:

Yes, that’s me trying to manuver a big, fat tire…looking like a grandma.  In my defense the weather and environment was not what I planned.  And my sister just happened to catch this awesome shot of me.  {By the way, I won that leg of the race for my team}

{a gold star goes to the person that can guess where I am}

This is ALMOST all of us, I think someone counted only eight of us missing.  There’s my cute grandma in the pink in the middle; she and my grandpa have left quite the legacy. At night time the families would go home to their cabins accordingly, but during the day we met at my parent’s for fun activites.  Such as:

Horshoe Tournament…  My dad takes it very seriously.

Canoeing with the cousins…

Beebee gun shooting…

Fun, Friendly games of Volleyball…

Talent Shows, and great devotionals.

]]> My friends comment that I don’t write enough personal things about me, welp here ya go!  A few weeks ago I was able to go to Arizona for a family reunion on my Father’s side.  My dad, his brother, and sister all have cabins within 15 minutes of each other…making it the ideal location for 70 Deckers.  We invaded the Payson area.
