taking little break....

i'm going to be taking a short blogging break....
i'll be back sometime in early october.
life right now is pretty routine and mundane.

i go to work.
go to the gym.
make myself dinner.
walk gussy.
watch a little tv and go to bed.

it suits me perfectly fine
and i have no complaints.
fall tv has started ;)

my billy works every night until 10:30.
i am almost always sleeping by the time he gets home.
my only tiny complaint would be i miss him.
but work is work and he is doing what he does for us.

i talk to my friends and family and i still see them on the weekends.
i also go to my parents for an hour or so on wednesday evenings for dinner and to watch survivor. 
we have a game going with survivor and if one of my people wins i have a chance to win $90.

i plan to continue reading blogs, which i have been doing lately and just not commenting much.  i sit and read through blog after blog after blog on my google reader but i am bad and don't actually go onto your blogs to comment.  i will attempt to comment more!! :)

it's thursday which means tomorrow is friday and then the weekend!
hope ya'll have a wonderful day!!!

a hoarder does NOT live here...

after seeing other bloggers with fall decor posts and seeing many twitter friends say they are decorating, i decided over the weekend to dig out all of our fall/halloween decor.  when billy got home from hockey late saturday night he said our house now looked like a hoarder lived in it! 

how dare he say such a thing!

i have everything stored and organized perfectly.  just because i added a few more knick-knacks around the house does not mean our house looks all that much different.

billy is not a fan of accessories and knick-knacks.  thankfully he does with it with though ;) 

i LOVE decorating for holidays! it might be a tad early for halloween decor but i really don't care!
christmas is my favorite holiday to decorate for and i just might have 10 bins of christmas decor and 3 trees.  billy definitely thinks i over do it for christmas but what's a girl to do, i love decorations!

so here is all of our fall/halloween decor.  minus our front steps.  i have not found any pumpkins for sale in our area yet :(  i'm hoping to find some this weekend so i'll have a different post coming up later.  another reason why i had a major itch to decorate early, it was in teh 50's over the weekend.  it's been chilly here in minnesota!
onto the decor....

candles, candles, candles...

i love all fall scents!

yankee and pier one have the yummiest smells.

fall boots....

there are so many cute shoes/boots/booties out this fall season!

i still haven't found the perfect pair of tall boots for myself but i have been looking.

i do not have a big budget for shoes, i buy whatever i can at target, famous footwear, macys and kohls and i almost always have a coupon or promo code.

i have these three pairs...

grey booties from target

madden girl peep-toe booties from famous footwear...

candies peep-toe booties from kohls...
{not all that comfortable :( }

they are all perfect for work.

i like wearing them with dresses.

the first two pairs are super comfy, the last pair, not.so.much.

there are a MILLION cute boots/shoes on that site!!

i haven't done much searching so i'm off to look more!

happy wednesday ladies!!!

the last wedding post....

gus escaped the house more than once to join the party outside...

his little tux...

my brother helping gus into his outfit...

gus is wearing his little tux and hat in the pic below,

he HATED the tux, hat and the collar. 

he normally wears a harness, the collar did not make him happy.

i felt bad which is the reason i only got one picture with me and him.

and this one picture took 30 minutes.

poor gussy...

at least he looks happy in the picture ;)

gus hung out with me until i walked out with my dad.

he is my little shadow, i love this picture of him and i.

the casual outfits we changed into after our formal pictures...

the end

wedding posts done! ;)

tomorrow we will have been married for ONE MONTH!!!

crazy how fast time goes!

i hope everyone had a great weekend!

bride and groom...

then my brother snuck over, real nice...

i should have had the last two pictures with my previous post.

that was a lot of pics ;)

so glad it is friday ladies!!!

i hope you ALL have a fabulous weekend!!
