Over the weekend Steve and I had a "date day" and the only criteria for this day was that it had to include <i><u><b>good food</b></u></i> and <u><i><b>relaxation</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">!</span></i></u> We tried to come up with more than one suggestion as to where to go, but neither one of us wanted to make a decision (have you had those days before?). In the end we decided on a place that we tend to always go to simply because we love it! For us that place is <b>Seal Beach</b>!</div>

No, I am not talking about the chocolate and peanut butter cup candy (though scrumptious and delicious!). I am referring to the talented and adorable Reese Witherspoon's country home in Ojai, California. I was so excited to see that <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/celebrity-homes/articles/reese-witherspoon-home">Elle Decor</a> has featured Reese's home in their September issue. I already love Reese's movies and fashion style and now I can add her taste in home design, too! </div>

Yep, I am starting a project today! Over the weekend I made a stop at <s>Man's Land </s> Hope Depot to pickup my supplies. When Steve and I first moved into our apt we purchased a set of inexpensive lamps at Target (I had no idea how expensive lamps could be!) and I have now decided they need a "new look." I am planning to spray paint (primer, coat, and gloss) the base of the lamps white and then makeover the lampshades somehow (still coming up with ideas!). </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Have you noticed the gingham trend going around lately? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Both my husband and I own an article of gingham clothing. I have a <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/living-doll-gingham-shirt-juniors/3319451?origin=keywordsearch&fashionColor=MINT+IVORY&resultback=353">navy gingham blouse</a> and my husband has a pair of <a href="http://usa.tommy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/thb2cus/7812070?utm_source=googlepla&utm_medium=cpc&cid=ppc:goo:7812070&ctcampaign=1359&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CKOlt-DFo7ECFQV6hwod3FoVVw">navy gingham shorts</a>. We never really thought much about the fact that we had matching clothing until... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">we accidentally wore our gingham clothing on the same day! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had been having one of those mornings where I had changed my outfit over 5 times and was of course running late. I finally picked my outfit (gingham blouse) and both Steve and I quickly left the house to meet up with his family for breakfast. While running out to the car I did not realize that Steve was wearing his matching gingham shorts! It was not until we were in the car that we noticed our little mishap! I am sure as we ate our yummy breakfast at Corner Bakery with his family (in public) we most likely were the brunt of many jokes :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh well, it made for a good laugh!</span></div>

I love this spot in our apt. because it is a collection of old and new things that I put together to make a gallery wall and table vignette. I am a newly married gal, so I am always trying to find ways to decorate that will save money $$$! There's just something fun and even a little bit adventurous about searching and gathering up objects throughout your home to help create something eye catching and perfect for that certain spot!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last night Steve and I got all dressed up at headed to the Nokia Theater for the Espy Awards!

What is Project Life? It is a way to document and capture not just the big moments in life, but the little ones, too! Which is why I absolutely LOVE it! It is so easy to forget the little things of everyday life, but with Project Life no memory will be left out. To get more information go to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://elliebelliehandmade.blogspot.com/2012/01/project-life-2012-cover-page.html"><i>ellie bellie handmade</i></a></span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/products/"><i>Becky Higgin's</i></a></span> </span>site (the creator of project life) and you'll get all that you need to start Project Life for 2013... it will be here before ya know it!!!</div>

As you can see this is a CRAZY mud run with military obstacles that are meant only for the absolute toughest men and women. I am amazed at the amount of people who go out for this challenge! Lets just make it clear, I am definitely not one of those people and I am totally ok with that! :)<br />

We spent our 4th July at the Home Depot Center watching a LA Galaxy game!!! You know the soccer team with the none other, David Beckham :) I love watching pro sports! There is just something exciting about a stadium filled with crazed fans, the smell of hot dogs and nachos, and the thrill of the game.</div>

Sadly, my favorite player (David Beckham) on the LA Galaxy was not playing that night. Mr. Beckham was suspended from the game because he had gotten a little heated (kicked a ball at another player) at the previous game and was given a yellow card. Oh Beckham, you need to control your temper!!!!</div>

Sadly, the Galaxy lost (they needed Beckham to seal the deal!). However, we quickly got over their loss when we got to watch the spectacular firework show on the field. It was a beautiful sight and a perfect ending to our 4th of July day!<br />

For the past three years I have been following the story of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Daisy Love Merrick. </span>She is a 6 year old California girl through and through. With blond wavy hair, freckles on her nose, unique fashion sense, and a beautiful smile. However, what makes Daisy different from other young girls her age is that she is battling cancer. For over three years, Daisy's family has gone through the ups and downs as they struggle to fight an illness that could take their precious baby girl. Their love for Jesus is so strong and the amount of love, prayer, and support from their family and friends is helping them get through this beyond difficult time.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Please read the excerpt from her blog and watch the video below to learn more about Daisy's story.</span><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">"On April 11, 2012, Daisy's third recurring Wilms tumor was removed from her abdomen. The tumor was only the size of a golf ball, but the operation required that her spleen be removed as well. She survived the surgery and now faces more chemotherapy, more difficult procedures, and more excruciating treatments.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Daisy and her family are trusting Jesus. But they are also in a battle for Daisy's life. The next steps include chemotherapy and a possible stem cell transplant. Her parents are pursuing both traditional and progressive cancer treatments in America and Israel. The estimated cost not covered by insurance will total close to half a million dollars.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Would you join us in praying that Jesus, the only Healer, would again heal her body? And, in Daisy's words, pray for her as she "kicks cancer into the trash can." Prayer updates will be posted often here at PrayForDaisy.com."</span></i><br />

My hairdresser would kill me if she knew that I blow dry my hair almost everyday. My hair has a tendency to get frizzy and crazy and the idea of not blowdrying is really not even an option for me. So, I am always looking for hair products that will help protect my hair from heat damage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so excited when I found Garnier's Moroccan Oil Treatment. All you do is put a small amount of the product in your hair before you blow-dry and it not only helps protect from the heat, but it also nourishes and produces shiny and healthy hair. This product is definitely a keeper!</div>

About a month ago I was shopping at Nordstrom and the sales girl was trying to convince me to buy a pair of white jeans. I politely said, "No thanks, not for me." I assumed that white jeans would be unflattering and I was just not up for trying on jeans that would accentuate areas that I did not want accentuated (if you know what I mean). However, this cute sales girl was a "little" pushy and before I knew it I was trying them on in the dressing room. And of course, I ended up buying them! They fit perfect and to my surprise they were flattering. You know you love an article of clothing when you wear them once, twice, or maybe even 3 times a week :)</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On our way to Palm Desert we stopped at the Cabazon Outlets (who doesn't love a good deal). I was beyond thrilled to find that there was a Tory Burch outlet store!!! So, I made sure to <strike>drag</strike> take my mom on over for just a little look. The Tory Burch "Ali" sandal ended up catching both our eyes and my super generous mom decided that we both needed new sandals to help kick off our Spring Break getaway. They have been my favorite "go to" sandals for this summer. </span></div>

He is the high school pastor who on occasion also preaches for the entire congregation (big church, as I still like to call it!). Both him and his wife Natalie do an awesome job ministering to the high schoolers and the congregation at the Grove.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After hearing his sermon about David and King Saul I was reminded about the importance of TRUSTING God to LEAD your life (especially during the hard times) and how vital it is as Christians to always </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FEAR the Lord. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is so much truth in this verse:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">~ Proverbs 9:10</span></div>
<br />
I encourage you to take 30 minutes out of your day and watch his sermon. I think it is a good reminder that we all need to hear. I promise you will also get to hear his contagious laugh and I guarantee it will make you smile and laugh too! :)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On our second day of our anniversary getaway we rented bikes from the hotel and rode to one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots! If you are ever in San Marino, California you have to come to <a href="http://www.juliennetogo.com/index.php">Juliennes</a>. It's a girly (thanks babe for making the sacrifice), quaint, gem of a restaurant that makes scrumptious food! My favorites are their:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After breakfast we continued our bike ride through the tree lined streets of Pasadena. We critiqued the huge mansions and took turns pointing out our favorites and deciding which would be our future home (of course in our "pretend" world). Later, Steve and I found a cul-de-sac with speed bumps and we attempted to show off our bike speeding/jumping skills. It was so much fun, I actually felt that "kid like" joy that some adults seldom feel. All in all we had a blast!</span></div>

Then it was off to the Langham Huntington Hotel where we had stayed the first night of our honeymoon. I love this hotel! It is an old building that dates back to 1906 and for a short time used to be owned by Henry E. Huntington. The building itself is gorgeous both inside and out and the architecture is similar to many old buildings that can be found throughout Pasadena. </div>

Before we headed back to our hotel Steve drove to our wedding reception site so we could </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
go back and reminisce. It was fun to walk around and share our favorite memories from both our wedding day and 1st year of marriage.</div>

Today is our one year wedding anniversary! We decided to take the sentimental approach and go back to the hotel we stayed at on our first wedding night. It is a gorgeous hotel that holds special memories for us, so I can't imagine going anywhere else to celebrate our special day! I am looking forward to reminiscing about our wedding day, sharing our favorite memories from this year, and just enjoying spending a relaxing couple days together.</div>

I have found that summer is a perfect time for me to catch up on some good reading. Currently I am reading <i><b>A Lineage of Grace</b></i><b>,</b> by Francine Rivers and so far I love it! In this book, Rivers writes about the lives of five women in the Bible: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. This historical fiction novel uses Biblical accounts to share the stories of women that God used in so many ways. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This book is a perfect way to start off your morning or end your day... oh and adding a cup of green tea with honey will only make it better!</div>

When you start to pack your summer bag for the pool or the beach it is an absolute must that you have the perfect book to read while you lounge and soak up the sun! These books should be fun and easy reads that help you escape reality.</div>

So, I have been on the search for that perfect summer book and just recently a couple of my friends recommended that I read some of the Emily Giffin novels. Emily Giffin is a popular author who has had many books on the New York Times Best Seller list, and just last year her book <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b><i>Something Borrowed</i></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> was made into a movie (which of course I have seen!). </span><br />

Every summer I have a long list of "to do's"(projects, goals, ect...) and it always seems that I NEVER accomplish all that I had hoped. So, this summer I decided that I need to create a weekly <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Summer Schedule</span></b> to help me be more productive this summer. </div>

I decided to use one of my favorite items in my kitchen, my chalkboard. About three years ago I was on the hunt for a chalkboard and I was over the moon when I found this one at Home Goods (a favorite store of mine!).<br />

My first thought was that it looks like the dinner specials board at Coco's...oh well :) I love that it is colorful and it will definitely not be hard to miss each time I walk into the kitchen. Hopefully it will help me keep up with all my "to do's" this summer!</div>

I also had to take a picture of one of my absolute favorite flowers, PEONIES! I look forward to buying them every June at Trader Joes. There is nothing better than having a vase full of flowers in your house to help start off your summer!</div>
