Engagement Photos

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was pretty quiet and we didn't go all out like we usually do. Aaron and I took advantage of Black Friday and bought ourselves a new iMac computer! Kinda crazy because I never was interested in having one before but we decided to get one since we both love using Apple products. I'm going to set up a little office space in our house so be on the lookout for a blog post about that soon! 

I had so much fun taking our engagement photos! We took them at Jennings Park in Marysville, WA which is the town Aaron grew up in. I told our photographer that I wanted a "Fall" look and she nailed it! This park was perfect to capture the colorful leaves and beautiful landscape. I was so nervous because Aaron and I were both sick the week leading up to the photos and it was pouring rain every day that week as well. It was a miracle that the day of the pictures, we felt good enough to get ready and the sun came out! 

Our photographer, Jessica Raney of Raney Day Photography, does some great work! If you need a photographer for family photos, engagement sessions or your wedding, look her up! She is also doing our wedding day and I cannot wait to see how those photos will turn out! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving friends! I'll start off by saying I'm thankful for each and every one of you, my readers! Whether you're friends or family or just someone who stopped to take the time to read my blog... just know I'm grateful :) 

We celebrated Thanksgiving last night with Aaron's parents and so today we get to relax and stuff our faces with leftovers... or perhaps cook the 2nd turkey in the fridge. I'm also gonna put up all my Christmas decorations today Yayyyy!!! I've been holding out since Halloween (yes I know that's ridiculous) but I can't wait any longer! I've been listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies for the last month now... Aaron is so over it haha! 

It's also a great day to shop! Sooo many Black Friday deals are starting today and many started earlier this week. I can't tell you how hard it is to not shop for myself. I might give in but c'mon, these deals are too great to pass up! 

I've rounded up a few of my favorite items for you guys, so get ready to shop your heart out! Just a quick warning: there is some a lot of white involved...

Happy Shopping! XoXo 

Hearth and Hand

It's finally here!! Hearth and Hand by Chip and Joanna Gaines is now available at Target and there is so much goodness!!! I am so excited that I don't have to go all the way to Waco to shop their products anymore... I live 5 minutes from a Target, which means trouble...

I didn't make it to Target until the day after the line was released thanks to snow. I will say I was a little disappointed with the selection at my local Target. It was small... I'm talking one aisle small. I was hoping for way more... but thank god for online shopping! I have been scouring the Target website and I have all my favorites picked out! I've even ordered some things that should be arriving tomorrow. 

A lot of it is holiday decor, which, not gonna lie, I probably won't be buying much of. Except for a tree skirt which I must have! (see below) 

AND the best news yet... they will be bringing out new merchandise every season! The fun just keeps coming! 

Most of my faves are kitchen items. My kitchen plates and utensils need a little updating so I'm taking full advantage of these products and I'm obsessed! Click on the picture to shop!
