I'm so excited to get to see some of my favorite people in the world and reminisce about our sillier days. I can't wait to eat, sleep and watch my bestie finally tie the knot.  We've been talking about this day since our college years when we'd sit up late at night, eating pizza, listening to Counting Crows and wondering if we'd ever find someone who would say, <a href="http://grooveshark.com/#!/search/song?q=Counting+Crows+Anna+Begins+%28VH1-Storytellers%29">"every time she sneezes, I believe it's love."</a>  Well, I don't think our guys would ever say that, but they feel it, and that's all that matters.  Love is in the air!  I hope y'all have a fantastic fall weekend! Go Royals!!<br /><br />Enjoy these linkies with your hot dogs and drinkies :)<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">A New <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYZLy5uC5uc">Marcel the Shell With Shoes On</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A perfect<a href="http://www.littlebeanshop.com/Black-Star-Print-Bodysuit-in-Slate-by-Joah-Love-p/joa-021.htm"> ROYAL blue onesie</a> for a little boy  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.people.com/article/couple-married-73-years-dies-28-hours-apart?xid=rss-topheadlines">Proof of Soul Mates</a><br /><br /><a href="http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2014/10/my-sisters-awesome-dating-tip.html?m=1">An Awesome Dating Tip </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I had no idea <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/22/bill-murrays-parenting-advice_n_6029452.html">Bill Murray had 6 kids</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Something about <a href="http://blog.kellychristinephoto.com/recent-work-sweet-and-tiny-little-baby-betty/">these tiny baby pictures</a> make my heart melt  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.parkerkennedyliving.com/index.php/blog/32-blanc-de-chine">I found a new thing to collect</a> (but I just know Edward is going to play with them) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Gorgeous <a href="http://blog.thepinkpagoda.us/2014/10/blue-and-white-monday-schumacher-fabrics.html">Blue and White Fabrics </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.theglampad.com/2014/10/a-blue-and-white-regency-bermuda-in.html">Blue and White in Palm Beach</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Excited and Scared for what Tory Burch is going to make me think I can do with <a href="http://markdsikes.com/2014/10/16/color-is-coming/">this</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cool <a href="http://freelanceclothing.squarespace.com/">Kansas City T-Shirts</a><br />(I just got my Royals one and it's soo cute!) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mark your calenders: <a href="http://aplus.com/a/britney-spears-day">November 5th = Britney Day</a>! </div><div style="text-align: center;">(For me it's Oct. 28th, the day I met my husband, dressed as pregnant Britney Spears, me not him, he was a ninja turtle, I felt God speaking to me, but then I thought, "Does God speak to people carrying Cheetos and dressed as a pregnant pop star? is this really how I'm meeting the man I'm going to marry??

It would be a great place to have a party.  I'm also very envious of the original black and white marble floors in the entry! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Love a good little trip down the rabbit hole of the Internets.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm glad we did that.  </div><br />

#TBT: Kansas City Spaces

Sooo I happen to have Kansas City (so in love), Blue and White (Go Royals!), and my bedroom (revamp) all on my mind.  Pinterest told me this...

Fall at My House

How does she do it all!" Ha! It's ok.  I know that's why you love me, right?<br /><br />I intended to have more mums, but I could tell I was pushing my luck with my cart full of pumpkins.  So I chose two of the most brilliant magenta mums I could find.  And gotta have the Royals pumpkin. I'll post a step-by-step DIY on how to do it tomorrow. (Just kidding, paint it blue and grab a sharpie while the kids aren't looking).  <br /><br />In other news, I finally had a piece framed that had been sitting in our closet for 5 years (embarrassed blushing emoji).  I think my father-in-law gave it to us, but I can't be sure.  <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2veN9ujTUpFis5Vh4ncGjBAJGhDX9fbENw-walI4zVC3RIyX4Ca2bk5mMhc40x5hUURU3BqsBDIIVKsRJ4mtCy3aC7akJ4Ob5iVVHzP4w5RoLYUxyQu2Xw7C2N1VS9n3M1NxoMbS00o/s1600/IMG_6036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2veN9ujTUpFis5Vh4ncGjBAJGhDX9fbENw-walI4zVC3RIyX4Ca2bk5mMhc40x5hUURU3BqsBDIIVKsRJ4mtCy3aC7akJ4Ob5iVVHzP4w5RoLYUxyQu2Xw7C2N1VS9n3M1NxoMbS00o/s1600/IMG_6036.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />It's perfect for our country kitchen.  I love it because I've seen that scene a hundred times: when my family used to drive from Dallas to Peoria when I was little, when I drove home from Columbia, MO to Dallas and back in college and now from Kansas City to Dallas over the last 8 years.   It feels very much a part of me and very grounding to look at every day.  I never had it framed before because I knew I wanted to do it right. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBEU_84fz6YkJ7G965XQEvMLch1tfkG5oOzVRwkhLrq5Onn0N5ZMpVUq_bWzefMY09SQMDasdWn00Z9wUEQMZEHpRWj54CMHYD0f0Qu16oo3W8dGkkUzhhRp4B3Bg9XwsfxdHIQbEnEI/s1600/IMG_6034.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBEU_84fz6YkJ7G965XQEvMLch1tfkG5oOzVRwkhLrq5Onn0N5ZMpVUq_bWzefMY09SQMDasdWn00Z9wUEQMZEHpRWj54CMHYD0f0Qu16oo3W8dGkkUzhhRp4B3Bg9XwsfxdHIQbEnEI/s1600/IMG_6034.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>  <br /><br />Major props to <a href="http://leawoodfineart.com/">Leawood Fine Art</a> for guiding me in the right direction.  <br /><br />Oh and if you blinked, you may have missed my Fall mantle decor ;) Trader Joe's, y'all.  Pumpkins and flowers and pumpkins and flowers.  <br /><br />Soo much decorating stuff in my head to share with you!
