Out and about...

Well, it's been quite a ride the past few weeks.  Josh and I are holding on for dear life, but we are making it!

I have been out and about a little lately, trying to stay sane in between medical treatments.  I've found a few really fun things lately that I've been dying to blog about so that you can check them out too.

I love Target.  We all love Target, I know. 

If you don't like Target, we probably aren't friends.  Just kidding, kinda. 

Somehow when I walk in the store, my bank automatically deducts a $100 out of my checking account.  How can you not love a place where you can get trendy sandals, a fun bracelet, laundry detergent, dog bones, and some fun dishes for the summer? 

On a recent Target run I found these...all for under $20.00.

Great gold bangle!



A really fun tortoise shell bracelet...a great transition piece from summer into fall.

I bought this in navy (it's much cuter in person) and added a few gold bangles that I already had. 
Really fun. I've gotten so many compliments on it.  $12.99.  Seriously.  

After I had accessorized myself, I decided to dress up our table with a few fun plates for casual dinners outside.  Check out these melamine plates, perfect for outdoor dining, for only $2.50 a plate.  They have so many fun patterns to bring together.  I had to grab a few in a navy Ikat pattern for this summer.

Lastly, I grabbed this top from Target's Calypso Collection.  It's cute with white or tan capri pants and a little heel. 

I love Calypso St. Barth, but certainly can't always afford Calypso...unless the sale stuff is on sale!  Target's joined the Calypso to create a collection for the regular gals!  This collection impressed me because the materials and colors they used really are quality pieces that are perfect for summer. However, I have learned that not all of the Target's got this collection.  Booo!  I can't wait to see what else comes out.  I sincerely hope they keep partnering.

You can see why the auto debit from the bank account happens when I walk through the glass sliding doors, right?

Have a great weekend, loves!

Oh my...

I haven't been on here in awhile.  Yikes!  Well, let's do some quick updating...

1. I'm feeling pretty well!  I have completed my third IVIG treatment and we are seeing some results!  We are hoping that the next three treatments will continue to produce positive effects.  We shall see.  We are praying and praising God each day for the improvements. 

2. Projects, projects, projects!  We have so many going on right now.  There is a lot to blog on and I just need to sit down and find some time to do it.  The master bedroom is getting an overhaul, paint is constantly under my nails, and we've been doing a lot of "junking" lately...hitting all of the random antique and junk stores around.  Oh have I found some treasures, including this...


Wagon wheel hub...I have big plans for it.

3. Someone I know has become a cover model! 

That's right...my cute husband is on the cover of Saltwater Angler with a huge trout that he caught while fishing with his brother and dad at the coast.  His brother submitted the photo to Saltwater Angler and had no idea if it would even get printed.  Pretty cool surprise!  Almost as cool as catching the big trout!

4. The ministry that Josh and his friend Dusty started almost a year ago has grown and grown and officially has a name!  God is so AWESOME!!  He continues to bring new men to the group each week.  They have grown so much that they have outgrown our house already.  We will be signing a lease on a new little ranchette for the guys to set up their headquarters very soon.  They'll be on part of a ranch that is not far from our house.  There will be plenty of space for the bow range, lots of outside space for meeting, and a small little ranch house to make their own.  It's so incredible how far this group has come in such a short amount of time.  Thank you, Lord!!!

This is just a short update to let you know that I am here!  And that we are surviving.  Summer is flying by and I hope to have the time to share some of our summer adventures and projects very soon. 

Stay cool, loves!
