pillows...

Who knew finding pillows for your couch was such an ordeal??

Not me.

I've been on the hunt for a month-ish now, and I think I found some good options

(which, I predict, I will probably bookmark, think about some more and not end up actually making a decisions about them for at least a month)


So here is the situation:

My living room has no color in it so far.
zip.
zero.
zilch.
  
What can I say?  I'm a girl who loves her neutrals.

black.
white.
grey.
brown.

These are my best friends...and also the only colors found in my living room thus far.


See for yourself:

please ignore the big yellow pillow...it was stolen from off our bed to save my back

My quest is to brighten up my front room with colorful throw pillows.

Will it work?

Here's hoping.

Thought #1
yellow:

 Kind of cute right?

I'm lovin' the geometric pattern on the back.

Thought #2

 white:

Of course I'm drawn to the simple b/w chevron pattern

Thought #3
rusty:

 Obviously I've got a thing for these stripes.

And these are all my thoughts for now.


decisions. decisions.


Sadly school and group projects and BYU football games will probably eat up a weekend that I could have easily dedicated completely to throw pillow hunting.
(I can already tell you David is just fine with that)


Till then I suppose our bed shams will be pulling double duty.

The world ought to know that I came home this evening after a long day spent on campus to find: 

"the table" (aka: our island counter top) set, 

music playing, 

dinner waiting for me on the stove 

and my husband doing our laundry.

The world ought to know that I am a very lucky girl.

happy wednesday!

Woohoo!  

We've made it halfway through the week!

And I've made 2 (count em') TWO home cooked meals for David this week in a row.
I've got to celebrate now because it probably won't be happening tonight...having class till 6 and all.

Anyways, to mark our halfway point, here are some things I've been browsing around the web instead of doing my homework, um...I mean, after I'm done...

I'm going make this bunting cake topper - somebody just needs to have a birthday...

I think my kitchen needs these tea cups hanging from it's ceiling...

How darling is her outfit?

Decorating our little apartment is definitely on my mind - I'd love a few of these throw pillows.

Eye candy.

Pretty sure this is one of my new favorite blogs.

Love lists.
 
Zombie engagement photo shoot?? yup.

I am definitely going to make these brownie peanut butter cups sooon

These pictures make me want an orange tabby

a tardy tribute

(please excuse the blurry phone picture)

So (a week ago) on Labor Day we did all things that are appropriate for a day off from school.

David went golfing with the boys.

I went shopping with the girls.

And we did no homework.

We then had a lovely BBQ at the Nemrows after which we headed off to the Scera Outdoor Theater to listen to the lovely sounds of The (capital "T") Beatles tribute band:

1964.

I wasn't aware they were such a big deal, but apparently these guys have been playing Beatles tunes for something like 28 years now.

Can you imagine not cutting your hair for that long??  Because I'm almost certain these guys, um...haven't.

We had a lovely time getting rained on, snuggling under our soggy blankets and singing

"we all live in a yellow submarine" at the top of our lungs.

Also, while we're on the topic, I rather like these portraits of the boys.



Hurray for Labor Day and 3 day weekends!
Can we have one next week too please?
