finish the sentence!

linking up with jake and holly for finish the sentence!

 

if i had one extra hour in a the day...

i would sleep. or read. or craft. or bake.

basically anything. i'd just love to have more time!

 

i wish my name...

wasn't so common. i love being a sarah but

i'm not the biggest fan of having so many other sarahs in the world.

 

i think anything chevron...

needs to come home with me! i can't get enough,

i even painted my office curtains blue ombre chevron.

 

my last nightmare...

i can't remember it. but i'm sure it had something to do with snakes.

or someone trying to kill me.

 

sometimes...

jake and holly make their sentence prompts to vague and i don't know what to say.

 

my last meal on earth would be...

hopefully some unidentifiable goo because i'll be old and in a nursing home and it will be all that i can eat. if i'm not in a nursing home for my last meal i'd love steak and shrimp on grill. with sweet corn on the cobb. and moscoto. and cheesecake for dessert.

 

i would much rather be______ than _____...

a girl than a boy. thank goodness i am.

 

mayonnaise...

a lot of people here this evenin'

say it out loud.

jeff Foxworthy, blue collar comedy. look it up.

 

10 years ago, i didn't think...

i would be married to lindsay's older brother.

that's what you get for marrying your friend's big brother i guess.

 

selfishly...

i like to get my hair and nails did.

 

my favorite show on tv right now...

do friends re-runs count? no? ok, the bachelorette, it's the only thing i've watched this summer!

 

george zimmerman...

has gotten way to much attention.

 

love, mrs. k

so what wednesday

linking up with Shannon, you know the drill.

 

so what...

 

*if i'm forcing myself to write this before i read other blogs so that i actually write it?

 

*if i've been a total slacker about blogging lately? i'd blame it on summer but that doesn't seem to stop other people from blogging...

 

*if i haven't completely unpacked my suitcase and put it away in more than a month? when you use it every weekend it's so much easier to just leave it out.

 

*if i just admitted to using my suitcase every weekend? we live in an apartment, in a pretty good sized city, an hour away from where both sets of our parents live, which also happens to be in lake country. you do the math.

 

*if we bought a boat (did i forget to tell you about that?) a month ago and it's spent more time in the shop than on the lake since we bought it?

 

*if we've done lots of fun things this summer and i haven't really taken any pictures? if i didn't get all over IG and twitter does it mean it didn't happen?

 

*if i close my eyes when commercials come on for scary movies?

 

*if i like running the air conditioner enough that i can curl up under a blanket when i 'rest' on the couch after work even tho it's 85* outside?

 

*if i had tutti fruitti at 10:30 last night? when you're a youth director you have to hang out when the kids want to hang out.

 

head on over to life after i 'dew' to link up and

see what everyone else is so what-ing this week.

 

love, mrs. k

i'm not proud of that...

i try to be a good wife. i really do.

 

and most of the time, i do a good job. i cook things that he likes to eat, i bake him homemade cookies to take in his lunch, i tell him when he does things that i really appreciate, i thank him for knowing how to fix small things, i try not to say no to often, i wear my hair the way he likes it (not that i don't like it that way too), i could go on.

 

and he is a GREAT husband. i'm sure that if we both made a list of what makes our spouse great my list about him would be longer than his about me.

 

because sometimes i do things i'm really not proud of.

like calling him a pansy.

yes, i called my husband that to his face. all because i was trying to get him to do what i wanted him to do and what i thought was best.

 

why did i feel the need to do that?? was it really so important that he did what i wanted him to do? i'm sure we would've come to the same outcome on the matter if he did it his way.

 

i apologized, but that doesn't change the fact that i said it. ugh.

 

seriously- isn't he the cutest? i'm so lucky.

now, if i could just get my ego & attitude in check and stop saying stupid things to get my way i'd be a lot better off.

 

love, mrs. k

so what wednesday

it's that time again.

linking up with shannon for so what wednesday!!

 

here's what i'm saying so what to this week:

 

*if i'm 26 & acting like a bit of a baby over what i think is an ear infection?

 

*if i LOVE thunderstorms?

 

*if i spent monday afternoon at the local pool and tuesday afternoon at the swimming pond of a family from church? i love working with kids :)

 

*if i chose not to put sunscreen on when i went to the pool with my friend last monday, got super burnt, and now i'm peeling? so far it's just two circles on my right shoulder that have peeled, hopefully that's all. and btw, i went to the store and bought sunscreen the next day.

 

*if i get annoyed when the weather channel interrupts tv shows to give us weather updates? yes, i know it's raining a lot, thank you weather channel.

and yes, i understand that these updates and be helpful and save lives for big weather issues. but really, it's raining here and they are giving us flash flood updates.

 

*if i don't know what i want to do with my life?

i'm questioning our move and my job. i don't know if this is what i should be doing. i don't know what i should be doing. all i really want to do is have babies and stay home with them. but that's not a reality because a) we don't have babies and b) even if we did have babies, i don't think it's a financial possibility for us right now.

 

*if this got real deep real fast??

 

what are you saying so what to?
head on over to life after i dew to see what everyone

else is so what-ing and to link up!

 

love, mrs. k

what i wore...

linking up with lindsay from the pleated poppy again for what i wore.

just three outfits to share this week, now that we're into summer it's mostly swimsuits or shorts with solid color v-neck tees. kinda boring to look at over and over ;)

 

i LOVE these shorts!! i wish i could wear them everyday without getting funny looks.

this outfit was for a day in the office.

necklace- target; white linen shirt- old navy; shorts- old navy

 

this was last friday, a quick meeting for a team i'm on where i met some new people. then the mr and i headed to the lake :)

peace tee- life after i dew; shorts- target

thanks to my instagram friends for confirming that these shorts are in fact NOT to short for a 26 year old who is not a size 2

 

another day at the office. well, just the morning. i spent the afternoon at the pool :) oh the joys of working with kids.

tee- gap; shorts- target

 

i feel like i'm kind of in a clothing rut this summer. it's easier to come up with outfit ideas in the winter/cooler months because i can layer things and i have more long sleeve shirts. and i have more 'warm' clothes. that's what you get for living in northern mn i guess.

 

love, mrs. k



summer lovin'

it FINALLY feels like summer in northern mn :)

and we are taking full advantage of it!

 

work is kind of getting in the way but we've made our way to lake country the past two weekend and we will the next three weekends for sure.

 

i love summer!!!

i wish i could just be outside all day everyday.

 

this afternoon i'm hold 'office hours' at the pool.

so i can be outside & call it work.

be jealous.

 

have a great afternoon!!

love, mrs. k

4th of july wreath!

 

as promised yesterday, here is my 4th of july wreath and instructions on how to make your own!

i did get the inspirations for this at wal*mart. they had a similar wreath for display and instructions on how to make it.

this is the finished project hanging outside our door :)

 

first you'll need to assemble your supplies

i had the wreath laying around for last fall- i found it in the dollar aisle at target for $0.25!! but any styrofoam or green foam wreath will work. you'll need to figure out quarters of your wreath and mark them off so you can make 1/4 of it blue.

you'll need floral craft pins- i used almost 300. so get more than you think you'll need.

red, white, and blue tulle. i found sparkley blue tulle :) i used less than (1) 12.5 yard roll of blue, (1) 25 yard roll of red (the whole thing), and a similar amount of white tulle.

 

cut your tulle to 6.5 inch lengths

i used 50 blue pieces and probably about 100 red and 100 white

 

then roll each piece, one at a time & put a floral craft pin in the middle of the roll

  

the push the pin into your wreath form

 

repeat. lots of times.

once you fill the first quarter with blue, start making red & white stripes. i just eyeballed this, my stripes are not equal but that's ok.

 

my floral pins were longer than my wreath was deep so i needed to bend each pin on the back so it didn't stick out any & wouldn't scratch the wall.

 

then once i was all done, i added a piece of flannel to the back to make double sure that it wouldn't scratch the wall.

 

i hot glued a ribbon to hang it from. make sure that you put your ribbon in the right spot so that the flag looks right when you hang it up.

i might have had to redo my ribbon. oops.

 

then removed your last wreath from the doorway.

don't judge me for still having the st. pattie's day wreath up.

i never claimed to be on top of it all.

 

hang your new wreath,

and enjoy!!

 

love, mrs. k
