I love that…

It seems that a lot of things in my life have been changing so rapidly. I have to admit that the feeling of newness used to make me feel anxious, but as of late, I’m loving all of the changes. I’m quite amazed at myself because not too long ago, I probably would have had a mental breakdown, literally.

I love that…

Renovations are well under way. The patio is looking superb with all of the new additions (I can’t wait for more BBQ get togethers). The scrap room is getting there — slowly, but surely. The new cute garbage can in the kitchen is super adorable and perfect sized. I actually got scrapping supplies as gifts for National Scrapbooking Day! My hair is short. The middle of May is not too far away. I opened a magazine, and there I was. I’m really excited for the So Cal road trip. I was able to go out in the rain wearing a dress, haha! I now see the light and how blessed I am. Pretty soon, the tax return check should be in the mailbox. I got accepted. My new bras are actually cute and COMFY (Yes, I know TMI… but I love how comfy they are). My parents are soooooo AMAZING. I love them to pieces.

Yesterday, for National Scrapbooking Day, I suprisingly didn’t scrap very much. Instead, we were BBQ’n in the rain like a bunch of weirdos, haha! Anyway, here are some random pictures that I took.

Scott and Anna chatting the night away (with Tequila?).

Sounds like a weird combo, shrimp and meatball skewers, but it was so DELICIOUS!

A little early in the season, but I love corn!

Us girls enjoying BBQ (on a rainy day). Too bad Amee's not here

I caught all of them off guard, but it's still a cute picture.

Pink Sketches is on now on Sketch #31. This week’s sketch is unique, and there are so many ways to interpret it. If you want to scrap along with us, make sure to leave a link to your layout, so we can post it in the Pink Gallery. Remember, Kelli releases a brand new sketch every week, so if you need some inspiration, head on over. I scrapped a layout with pictures from Hawaii.

Coated with Sugar

While cleaning up my desk, I found this old family picture. I couldn’t resist working with this one. I played along with One Little Word this time. It’s slightly late, but I thought it would be a fun challenge to do just for fun.

Our Journey to the Past

Oh, and I couldn’t write a post without an update on the little white one. She scored herself a new toy this weekend. Since Gloria used to play soccer hardcore, she thought it would be fun to teach Maui how to play. Surprisingly, Maui picked up on the sport quite well. She tries to steal the ball from us when we kick it back and forth, and boy, is she fast! Perhaps this week, we’ll try to teach her how to kick it with her front legs while she walks. What other tricks do you think we should teach her. We’ve taught her all of the everyday dog tricks and more, so I don’t know what else to teach the lovebug.

"Time to play soccer. Bring it!"

"Come and get it. There's no way you'll catch me!"

Make sure to check back for RAK winners very soon!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week,

Sarah.

PS – We miss you from home. We’ll see you soon. Just think, it’s more points to go on more adventures. Oh, and I’m still taking donations. And yes, we are extra special.
