Back To School Countdown

August 14th, 2013 by Aubri

The big girls go back to school tomorrow! I’m sure I’m more excited about that than anyone. It’s always easier for me to make a countdown chain for them to refer to instead of answering the “how many more days until“….question 54 times an hour.

A Love Story {Part VIII – The Beginning}

August 12th, 2013 by Aubri

It’s been a while since I joined the How We Met Link Up over at Camp Patton, it’s been a fun walk down memory lane for me and I’ve received some very nice comments and emails from some of you readers. So thank you! For Parts I-VII of this story click HERE.

So.

Phil had bought me a ticket to come back to Nebraska for another visit that August. I was really hoping that this would be the weekend he’d ask me to marry him but I wasn’t counting on it. In my mind there probably wouldn’t be a proposal (or wedding) until December or January at the earliest.

I’d already decided that I would use my Mom’s engagement ring as my own and cuz I’m CRAZY, I almost brought it with me to whip out if Phil did decide to ask me for my hand. But being the sane CRAZY that I am, I thought that might be too much.

I was just so happy to be able to come see him again.

(A little more about what we did whilest Phil’s brother and family were here. I’m still playing catchup you know.)

If you’re looking for a few more things to do this Summer try THIS bubble recipe, (you might want to start with less water).

I’ve never been a great lover of blowing bubbles. It’s usually less bubbles, more mess. But these were a lot of fun. Big bubbles and small mess!
