Labor Day Weekend

I'm almost caught up. Then I can get on with bigger and better things to blog about!

Almost every Labor Day Weekend is spent at the cabin. Awesome way to end the summer, relaxing and having fun!

Lots of time to just hang out.

Go 4-wheeling.

And to the lake.

Then trying to get some decent tv channels... so we're not too bored.

Gotta love the cabin! One of my favorite places to go.

Let the Stress Begin!

I signed up for a local handmade market back in July. Little did I know how my life was about to change...



The market was at the end of August. I didn't even procrastinate. I got started making stuff back in July. But I still had to enlist the help of my mom, sisters, and husband. The night before the market resulted in staying up till 4 am... Slept two hours on my moms couch, then hurried home to shower and get ready for the big day. I did pretty good that day of not being tired, but really felt it the next day. I slept the whole day! Just can't stay up as late as I used to... Haha!



It was a fun experience. I'd never done one of these before, so I didn't know what to expect, but I had fun meeting local crafty people.



Now I mostly just sell stuff on Etsy. It's fun. I enjoy making these kinds of things. I've constantly been trying to improve my shop and bow making skills. Someday I hope to be able to make bows like the real pros! Click here to see what I sell.

Three Years

Well... almost three and a half at the moment. The last 4 months have been the biggest blur of my life. I'll start the catching up with our third anniversary...

We went to Salt Lake for the weekend. I don't really remember what all we did... (it was a while ago and so so much has happened since.) I do know we stayed in one of our favorite hotels. Love the Hyatt. Anywhere we go! Mostly just hung around the hotel. It was so nice to get away, relax from all the stress, and watch food network. Haha... gotta go on vacation to watch some tv!

We ate delicious food at Tucano's and Cheesecake Factory. Cheesecake Factory has special sentiment... It was one of the first places we went on our first vacation together to Arizona. Back when we knew we were getting married, but not officially engaged.

And... I got to ride all the way home in my own back seat! I was not thrilled. I usually don't like to sleep while Ian's driving. Personally, I think it sucks when you have to drive and the other person is conked out. But I didn't care this time. I was sleeping to put myself out of my misery! It definitely could have been worse. Ian's back seat was more comfortable than I expected, but I'm a front seat kind of girl...



Here's how I wound up in the back seat: I took Ian to Ikea for the first time. I had experienced my first time going a few months before. This time around, I had my eye on a bookshelf. We made our purchase and headed to the Accord... I was thinking that we'd treat it like a pair of skis. It would fit right down the middle between us. No, no... After 45 minutes of trying to maneuver that HEAVY bookshelf every way possible, I had to give up my seat. I literally started crying a little. It was a traumatic moment... Ian even stopped to get me a treat! Haha.

All about the memories, huh!



After we got home from the weekend we went mini golfing on our actual anniversary. Something we used to do a lot when we were dating. It was lots of fun. Reminded us of the good old times. Back when everything was 100% perfect. Not that everything isn't perfect now, it's just a different kind of perfect.
