So, I didn’t get a possibility to do a weekend exchange closing week. I would have skipped it, however it was action-packed with the Labor Day trip so I’ll be along with it at current’s weekend recap. Heaps to cowl!

We decided to make Labor Day weekend a 4 day weekend for us, and it was great! We had quite a lot of work to get achieved, however it was positively equal parts work and play! As soon as I obtained residence from work on Thursday evening time, I had some enticing flowers prepared for me from The Bouqs. We moreover met with one different landscaper and pool agency to endure some additional closing plans. I hope to share additional on Friday or early subsequent week!

Friday morning now we have been up shiny and early to work on our patio makeover. I spent a variety of hours on it each morning over the prolonged weekend however it appeared to go by so quickly!

On Saturday, we went to my buddy Jill’s celebration at Infusion Brewery. She and I’ve birthdays a variety of days apart (although she is a variety of years youthful) and we had rather a lot fulfilling celebrating collectively. We watched a variety of soccer video video games sooner than heading out to dinner after which crashing in mattress by 8:30. Let’s merely say Sunday morning was a wrestle!

Sunday morning I shot the photographs for a lot of of my fall residence tour. After quite a lot of strategies from completely different bloggers, I ended up order this lighting and umbrella bundle from Amazon. It seems to be working correctly! There’s positively a slight finding out curve however it has already made an unlimited distinction in lighting darker areas that solely get hold of light from one route. It is undoubtedly serving to to eradicate these darkish shadows I wrestle with!

That Sunday was moreover my birthday. I’m formally nearer to 40 than 30. What?!?!? I’m nonetheless not even constructive how this occurred.

I really wanted to have the benefit of some down time sooner than, what’s going to in all probability be, an action-packed and doubtless disturbing week.

I awoke Sunday morning to this Instagram tag from my buddy Brooke at All Points Thrifty. The humorous issue is, Claire from Claire Brody Designs had instructed me the exact same issue a variety of weeks previously. I don’t watch Bachelor in Paradise nonetheless I appeared by the use of Juelia’s feed and I’d positively see the place they thought we appeared alike, in some photographs larger than others. The crazy issue is, after I Googled her, I observed she co-founded a worthwhile insurance coverage protection brokerage (which is scary-close to my precise occupation). So, once you’ve seen the current, you’ll should weigh in collectively along with your vote on whether or not or not or not we look alike!

I wanted to get some non-glamorous DIY duties achieved on Saturday – i.e. unpack suitcases that had been packed nonetheless for 3 months and cope with the clear laundry that had been piled in my room for 3 weeks. You already know, the precisey fulfilling DIY duties 😉 The cats don’t get to go in our mattress room unsupervised, in order that they’re on a regular basis in heaven after they suppose they’ve “snuck” in.

After grabbing some lunch, we ran to Aim to decide on up some snacks and drinks for the evening’s festivities. We’ve talked about looking for a Dyson for some time (we’ve heard they work correctly with pet hair) and practically bought this model. Nonetheless, I observed this vacuum on-line and the worth seems good. Have any of you had any experience with each of these or one different vacuum you are eager on? It’s simply in regards to the very very last thing I must spend money on, however it’s form of a kind of wanted evils. The one we use now’s over a decade outdated and is just plain heavy (and I can’t take into consideration all that setting pleasant). The Dyson line is all 10% off on Cartwheel correct now so it seems as if a good time for us to buy.

On Saturday afternoon/evening, we went with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law to our buddies lakehouse, solely about half-hour from Omaha. Because of the water is a bit chilly now, and outdoor temps have been solely inside the low 70’s, there have been just a few of us out. It was so gorgeous and peaceful!
