goody! two (pairs of) shoes.

I found these two pairs of shoes a few weeks ago when I went thrifting. Initially I just picked them up to put in my shop, but when I got home I decided to try them on, and they fit! So they are keepers.

I usually have a hard time finding cute shoes at thrift/vintage stores.
They are all either: too big / too small / too ugly.
So I was pretty excited about these little guys. : )

Lyds Vintage // Shop Update.

Shop update! There's a whole lotta cute stuff there. Buy it before someone else does!

a lovely, thrifty, family day.

On Saturday I decided to break out the camera and just click away while we were having some family time. And while I was in the middle of doing so, I was like, "Um, why the heck do I never do this?" Seriously. I never really document our life like this. 

So, I've decided to make it a point to do so from now on. I don't want to miss out on capturing these little moments.

{she loves this!}

Oh, and talk about sad, I have NO pictures--other than Instagrams--of Tatum and me (since she was born). So, that's another thing I've decided to remedy one day soon. If I don't, I know I'll be so bummed about it later on. And I want her to have pictures of us to look back on someday.

{you guys. i'm totally dying here.}

{seriously? i just can't even handle it...}

Saturday was a fun day together. We went out and did some thrifting (Josh's idea! What the heck?! I love him!). So much awesome stuff was found! It deserves its own post, so I'll save the story on that. And we picked up our new couch! I am in love. With a couch. (You can see a couple of glimpses of her in this post.)

I found her at a local thrift store for only $20! I was beyond excited.
We've been needing a new couch for awhile. We had been sitting on a broken futon on the floor for months. Yes, seriously. (What is my life? Whatever, guys. Just keeping it real!)

We almost didn't get it, though! The guy who was working when we went to pick it up was trying to not give it to us because a woman had bought it the previous week. NO. I was not having that. I told him that rules are rules and they have a 24 hour holding period or they have to sell it. He agreed and she was ours. Phew!

I know all of these pictures are essentially the same, but they were all the best ever and so sweet. So I couldn't choose. I'm sure you'll forgive me. I mean, it's a cute baby! Who cares?!

Speaking of being cute.
I realized recently that I was SO blinded by love when Tatum was born. I mean, she was cute in an old man baby way, but looking back...she was kind of weird looking, God love her.
She's just the cutest ever now, though. Sigh.

Look at that drool! ^ It's all drool, all the time over here these days. 

It's swell.

How was your weekend?

S U N D A Y !

yesterday was a really nice day.

and i'm very happy about it. :)

i went back to my church.

and i actually liked it and felt happy being there.

i was pleasantly surprised, and i intend to continue going there up until josh and i leave.

josh is even going to start going with me next week, which i'm very happy about. :)

also, i went to the gym with my mom, tori, and paul.

it was way fun, and i loved working out!

my little brother was so funny and cute on all the machines, because he is so small.

he was making me laugh the whole time. :)

i had a pretty good workout: 3 miles on the bike and 2 miles speed walking on the treadmill.

it felt really nice and i'm so excited to continue on this journey.

after i worked out, i went to jcpenneys to try and find some new jeans.

i'm usually not a fan of their selection, but i was given a gift card to the store and i'm in desperate need.

there's not really anywhere else in the town to shop for them either, if you're on a pretty tight budget.

i was so happy when i got there and before my eyes were levis!

(they had stopped carrying them here for a long time, for whatever reason.)

so i found this totally perfect pair and was in and out of there in a flash. :)

when josh got to my house we went to town and rented some tv shows.

then, we went to kroger to pick up a few things.

and after decided to go to applebees, where josh's iphone fell out of his pocket and is now totally shattered.

poor whale.

he thinks he is going to tell the apple store that he fell asleep with it in his pocket.

and when he woke up that was just how it was.

now, i don't really condone him lying or anything...

but, basically i want him to tell them this because it is a completely ridiculous thing.

and i think it's really amusing that he thinks this will even remotely work.

god love him.

(i don't know why i'm sad. but he's cute!)
