What's Up Wednesday

Wednesday, August 31, 2016

Things have been quiet lately here on the blog and I have really been missing writing. I'm just at that point in my mama life where I'm enjoying chasing him around the house all day and when Blake gets home I just want to spend every second with him and then when it's time for bed my head hits that pillow and I'm gone. 

What better way to catch up with everyone than a little link up with Shay today for What's up Wednesday! Here's what we've been up to :)

What we're eating this week...
My mama's food!! We have been spoiled this past week with her yummy food. I made my homemade chicken enchiladas last night and they were a hit! Tonight in sure we will eat out after church. And I wish I could say I have a plan for Thursday-Sunday but...I don't ;)
What I'm reminiscing about...
Blake and I's 2 year anniversary is Sunday and so I have all the feels right now! I'm more in love with him now than I was then and I didn't think that would ever be possible. My heart might burst if I keep talking about it so here's some sweet pics from my favorite day :)



What I'm loving...
Blake and I recently got an espresso machine and I have at least 2 (large) cups a day. I'm obsessed and slightly addicted!  

What we've been up to...
We have busy per-usual! Lot's of traveling this month. Blake did his first big solo project at work and it just so happened to be in Dallas so we have spent a lot of time there this month. Lots of family time and time in the car! Judah is officially crawling and pulling up on everything and eating everything you put in front of him! He's changing so much so fast :(

Blake and I have also got to enjoy a few baby-free date nights! Those are so refreshing and nice.


What I'm dreading... 
Unpacking when we get back home later today...haha!

What I'm working on...
Blake and I recently gave up Instagram/Facebook. We are really working on focusing on each other more and Judah and our time with God. All the time we spend on social media a day is sickening and we really needed a break! So I'll be a little more absent on the Instagram front but I'll still be posting some on Snapchat so follow me there (ElishaKelch) if you want to keep up with us :)

What I'm excited about...
FALL!! September to me means fall and I'm so excited to get out the fall decor and for cooler temps. Give me all the pumpkin everything and that crisp fall air!

What I'm watching/reading...
I've been reading Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst and I'm l o v i n g it! I've also started doing the She Reads Truth studies again. I'm going through Mark study right now and it's so good.
 
As for watching, we are obsessed with The Office right now. Don't judge ;)

What I'm listening to...
The new Vertical Church Band album is so good! I think it's called Frontiers. I am also loving the new Housefires album! Yes and Amen, Build My Life and Seek First are my favorites from that album!

What I'm wearing... 
My new favorite shirt that I snagged during the NSale. I wear it all the time. It's SO soft and goes with everything. I can't wait to pair it with a sweater and booties this fall! It's on sale and you can find it here!

I've also been wearing my LuLaRoe leggings and I'm obsessed. They really are buttery soft.

What I'm doing this weekend...
Sunday Blake and I celebrate 2 years of being married and I have no idea what we are doing! haha. Come back to the blog Monday to read all about it :)

What I'm looking forward to next month...
Leaves falling, pumpkin spice lattes, etc. I may have a problem! 

What else is new...
I think I've covered it all.

Bonus question
What is your favorite summer to fall transitional piece in your closet?
I think I can narrow it down to 3 things...a scarf, booties and a black and white striped shirt. You can pair all those things together or separately with other items in your closet for some effortless fall looks!

Friday Favorites

Thursday, August 4, 2016

Happy Friday, y'all!! This week flew by and I'm totally okay with it! It's the weekend and that means getting to spend lots of time with sweet Judah and my hubs!! I'm shooting a "Day in the Life" post on Saturday and it will be posted sometime next week :) 

For now we're gonna talk about some of my favorites lately...

ONE
This past weekend our church baptized 54 kids on Sunday in the parking lot and it was one of the coolest things I have ever experienced! You could tell that these kiddos really love Jesus with their whole heart and seeing them profess that in front of their friends and family through baptism was amazing! God is so good!! 

TWO
This sleepy little babe on his dada's shoulders is a big favorite of mine. The sweetest thing you ever did see!

THREE
Everyone that knows me knows that my favorite season is fall/winter. I start decorating for the fall in September and that's one very short month away and I'm so excited to start decorating and for the temps to get a little cooler! I saw this pin on Pinterest and thought I would share some of my fall inspo with y'all! 
Can't forget about cute fall clothes either! I love a good vest/scarf combo. 

FOUR
Someone shared this link of Facebook and I thought it was a really good read and wanted to share it with y'all! It sounds kind of negative but it's not at all. Here is the link if you'd like to read. http://www.relevantmagazine.com/life/relationships/3-things-i-wish-i-knew-we-got-married

That's all for my favorites this week! I hope y'all have the best weekend!! 

Linking up with Andrea!
