h54f!

it's friday!!! i don't work, but i still love weekends! weekends usually mean extra time with my hubby and holden's daddy, lazy mornings at home & getting together with our church family to worship! I always link up with lauren if you want to share your top 5's, too! (to link, just go to her blog & add your info every fri)!

here's my best moments of the week:

5. i have been trying to find a good local coffee shop. since grant is self-employed and i understand that WE can't survive unless our community supports our business, i strive to support other local businesses. well, i finally found one! and they're delicious! not to mention SO friendly, convenient & not any more expensive than starbucks. locals, you gotta check out java jo'z on creasy! i highly recommend the iced caramel latte!

4. i know I've said it before, but i have started taking pics of the house and hope to have a BIG reveal blog post in the next week or two! i think i haven't been motivated to post pics yet cause it's still very much a work in progress as far as decorating goes! i finally hung a few things on the walls & it's starting to feel like home! we hung this mirror in our entryway and i'm obsessed! target does it again! :)

3. along with the mirror, i got a little crafty this week! hit up hobby lobby for some craft paper and just went to town. i initially bought the paper for a flag banner to hang in the kitchen, but i used the leftover paper for art in holden's room! yay for making your own art!!!

2. our entire family is on baby watch. i go to bed each night double-checking that my phone ringer is on... just in case. my sweet lil nephew must just be so cozy that he doesn't care to come meet us (he was due tues)! so... since there are no signs of baby anytime soon, i suggested my sister & brother-in-law go out for a date. you know, in case the baby comes. well... he didn't take the hint that he could come, but holden & i had a fun evening with my niece, roslyn! roz is almost exactly a yet older than holden. they entertain each other, annoy each other & love each other. there's always nonstop giggles when they're together! love watching them play together!

-out for a walk & holding the dolly roslyn insisted he carry!-

-my future. two little ones on my lap trying to read separate books!-

-watching the rainstorm!-

1. eeeek my number one this week is that grant & i are going to chicago for a couple days! our 6 year anniversary is sunday, so we're gonna skip town for a bit and paint the town red. can't wait!!

 happy weekend to you all!!! hope you've had a blessed week! :)
