the weekend

it started off with a 3-day weekend due to the start of a massive home improvement project (re-roofing our house. boo.) and ended with a 3 hour nap and some beer margaritas on my patio.  it was one of those weekends that wasn't particularly great, but i got to spend 99% of it with my husband and got to cat nap on the hammock (i do a lot of sleeping, so sue me).


/we had drinks and a bon fire with our pastor and his wife and some church friends AND the pastor who married us because she lives in utah and we love her a ton. she's easily one of my fave people on this planet. and that's a difficult spot to achieve.

/i started a new painting i am SO excited about. i can just envision it in my mind and i'm in love with it. it's on a BIG canvas which calls for a BIG paint brush.

/we went to the grocery store approximately 100 times for sandwich meat and gatorades. did you know that boys can drink about 32 gatorades every minute?

/we made about a million jokes about how old my dad is and then he got his pants caught on the ladder and almost fell off and i had major anxiety about ladders. even more than normal. i think ladders are quickly rising (see what i did there?) to the top of my fears list.


/i saw the prettiest sunsets. i know these pictures cannot do them justice. but summer time in montana has got to be the greatest ever. how does the sky even turn pink and red and purple? i sat outside every night this weekend and watched the sun light the clouds on fire as it dipped below the mountains and i fell deeper and deeper in love with my little state.

/i sliced my finger open at lowe's (the 8th stage of hell, right after hob lob and right before home depot) while buying a roll of tin. i literally picked it up, cut my thumb and thought it was a little baby papercut until the blood starting gushing out. like a stab wound. all over my shirt, all over my pants, my shoes, both my hands, down the tin, on the floor....it looked like a crime scene in that aisle. but, don't worry. i helped myself because obviously the workers are too incompetent to aide a poor, helpless, bleeding customer. WHO ALSO BLED ON HER CHANEL WALLET. don't worry, i got it off. crisis averted.

/i took a three. hour. nap. because i had a major reaction to mosquitoes (all over my legs, through my jeans? literally 2, TWO bites on my bare arms. WTF.) (because i'm super allergic, which is real fun) and then the dust (because i'm also super allergic to dust, which is also real fun). so i took a nap and sprawled out on my bed and sweated the sick right out of me. i slept through three men machine gun stapling shingles onto the roof 8 feet above my head. i swear to you, i can sleep through an.y.thing. and, AND, i slept from 3-6 and then i went to bed at 10:30. pro.

/this text from erin: "sometimes i wonder. seriously. i hate girls. minus you but you like aren't a girl. well, you are but you know what i mean." HAHAHAHAHA

/i drank about a gallon of iced passion tea. if i could only drink one thing for the rest of my life, easily that.
