just call me rapunzel.

so i have been feeling under the weather tonight... as if a truck ran over me. 

which means no pictures... i know. im sorry. im failing. 

but it excites me so much that everyone loves my muffin blog!

ok seriously.

i want my hair to look like this. this is my hair goal. please take note. laura hunter is getting married next year and my goal is for my hair to be this long. now the people who really know me, especially lindsey my hairdresser/my girl are laughing because i get super irritated with my hair. i may be known to call lindsey and say if you dont cut my hair today im going to. she expects these phone calls and she is used to them. and she usually cuts it that day. but i wont do it this time, linds! i promise. (dont let me! just refuse.) we all are completely aware that i want long hair, so hold me accountable. 

and lh- i request bridesmaid dresses that are hippy-ish, please! ...

to match my long flowy beautiful locks.

you can choose the color... im not picky about that. :)

also, these are adorable times 10!

just so you know.

now, going back to the couch for some law and order with my husband.

birrrdd.

we did nothing fun today. haha. 

by that i mean we took a four mile walk to the seminary and back.

but sadly i didnt not take my camera...

although it was a good thing because i could barely bring myself back home.

anddd we were running late for church this morning so i decided to put my makeup on in the car. but to put your makeup on in the car you actually have to bring your makeup with you. so yes i went to church without makeup. God was teaching me to be humble and not proud. and that i dont need makeup even though i really think i do. 

(if we were back in brazil i wouldnt have even thought about it. let's go back j!)

moral of the story:

im out of shape and have no memory.

this cute little picture has been printed out and framed and is currently sitting on our computer desk.

(i would take a picture, but i didnt charge the camera battery.

ill work on that before tomorrow.)

but a) i love it because i love birds and b) it reminds us to be adventurous in our home.

okay- so not necessarily "in our home"... but in this city.

during our walk tonight we discussed the fact that we live here and how awesome it is that we have only been married 9 months (on thursday! wow!) and we get to live somewhere completely different and be our own people. and this is big for us because we have lived in the same area our whole life. but we have been here for 2 months and havent done much. we dont want to be standing at Southern on graduation day and regret our time here. we want to live it to the fullest and experience kentucky for all its glory. we want to know our way around without a gps. we want to be able to have our family come visit us here and say "lets go to this quaint little restaurant we know." or "lets go to this place we know just because we live here and discovered it." besides "becoming louisville", we also discussed our future and what it looks like to us. but at the end of that conversation we stated that it is not up to us. God is in control and he has a plan so no matter what we plan ourselves, His plan is ultimate and we are just going to honor him with what he brings our way. we even pointed out houses that we like and different things we like about the houses. all in all it was a good walk, besides the fact that i am out of shape. we are "planning" on it being a regular thing because we do live in this wonderful city that believes in sidewalks and pedestrians. and our goal is to be able to walk to the pie kitchen. (kinda defeats the purpose, but they have really good pie.)

get ready. tomorrow's monday.

but guess what the end of this week holds for us?

the craft bug has bitten me.

please tell me you would not love to make you some felt flowers.

perhaps for a wreath or a headband?

i have been in such a crafting mood today. my sister in law L would be so proud. i want to redo some furniture or make something. i need a cheap project. and by cheap, i mean cheaper than cheap.

now tell me you dont want to try these lovely suckers. 

im trying to think of where i could put them in our home.

i need a reason to make them.

so here are some pictures for today... we are going to eat with j's mentor and family tonight so im assuming i will not find something to shoot- and if i do i will post later tonight.

this necklace is genious! because i know you girls have many strands of pearls laying around. and you can easily find a brooch for a dollar or two at a thrift store.

how precious! i actually have an open frame around here that has been longing for a purpose! 

(thanks to Christin at Carolina City Girl, 

i have discovered Pintrest and cant stop looking!)

OMG! i need this for my many necklaces. 

(and i emphasize the word need for those of you who doubt me!)

 world market has beautiful door knobs, for the record.

can you tell i really need a project?

well, i also need money to buy the materials.

i will make something this weekend. 

and of course i will post pictures of the whole process.

im going to go get ready before my husband leaves me.

ps- i could not be more thankful that it is friday!
