Here goes Zeke, off to his Junior year at PHS. I hope this is a good year for him! His older siblings have shown Junior year is a tough one. May Zeke sail through with less bumps!
I cannot get into my head that school is in session. Just a week before, Zeke asked for a few school items. I responded, "Yes, we'll get those soon enough, we have time." To which he responded, "You know school starts in less than a week?" Whhhaaaaaaa??????
After his first day of school, he came in through the front door. I greeted him and asked him where he'd been. "I've been at school, Mom." Ohhhhhh riiiiiiight...
Adren has started full time work at Rocky Mountain Windows and Doors! I have never wanted to steer my kids there. I didn't want them to feel it is a back-up plan, and Jon working with his family hasn't been smooth riding by any means. I've wanted them to carve their own path. But I'm happy this is an option for Adren to get full time work and a little better pay. So far, he really likes it and Jon says he's a real good worker!
Paisley bought a car! Our old Bishop posted this on the neighborhood page. I jumped on Paisley right away, knowing she had been looking, but realizing not a whole lot of options are in her budget. She test drove it with Jon and got it looked over by our car repair shop. All lights are GREEN!
It is such a fun car for her, she loves zipping friends around with the top down. Happy for her!
Landrie is getting married!!! Her wedding day was so gorgeous, and she looked stunning!

| The Four-Pack all back together! |
Adam and Landrie!
Loved that she had all the girl cousins as brides maids and had us all wear black. Very chic.
I thought Sadie looked so pretty as mother of the bride.
So darling and gorgeous, am I right?
The Aunties!
It has been so exciting for the Gouldings~ a second wedding! Sophie got married to Carson and I thought their announcements were sooo cute!
They got married up in Oregon and didn't want a big fan-fare, so we cheered from afar.
I'm loving sending my boys off to work each morning. So great! I can see Adren does very well with a set, rigorous schedule. He seems to be thriving.
And I'm loving my fig door with my cognac walls. Dreamy.
Now it is Eli's turn to head out on his first day of school! Is he so cute or what? He's just taking 3 classes, they are with some friends.
I've been mulling over artwork for this wall area and loved the blue print against these brown walls. I wanted an odd-shaped art piece for above it and found a canvas, "It's Fall, Ya'll!" print at Hobby Lobby. I bought it thinking I could paint something over it. You better believe my family was pretty confused when they saw it sitting on the counter.
I painted these cute horses and they'll do the job quite nicely.
I covered the fireplace mantle with plaster. I do like the lighter look, but we still have not arrived. I'll keep mulling...
Zeke got a job at Jamestown with Paisley as a dishwasher! Hooray! He is excited to work with Christian (spoiler alert- he will never work with Christian).
He doesn't love it, but it is what he is doing now.
With a hint of fall in the air, I changed out the entry stems and potpourri at the office.
This rendering of the new Provo Canyon Temple stopped me in my tracks. Mainly because it is so beautiful and grand, but also because it is such a different look from what was. Excited to see it finished!
I decided I didn't love the paintings in this spot after all- and was thrilled to spot these frames at D.I. They were obviously from a generic hotel or something, there was a black and white print of face cards in them. You better believe everyone was pretty confused when they saw them sitting on the counter...
But these prints I found are super lovely!
I am feeling extra happy for my life and to live on this earth at this time.
