What do I want to be now that i'm grown up?

For Labor day Kylee and I went down to that awesome little town in central Utah called Holden. It's funny though how at this age the only question on everyone's mind is "how is school?" and "what are you going into?"
I am grateful that everyone wants to know but I feel bad that i don't have an exciting answer like Bio-engineering, Landscape Architecture, or even deaf studies. I think it is because I have a different outlook on work than most do. There are hobbies and there is work. for some people they can be combined and that is great. For me I don't think there is enough money in gardening, training pets, and playing video games combined to make the kind of living that our future retirement goals will require.
Now I'm not worried that I'm doomed to a desk job in a cubicle next to Dwight Schrute. Even though work for me is just a means to and end I'm pretty confident that I'll find ways to make it a fun ride to retirement. How do I know this? I'm Jacob Wood! I am the master of the easily entertained. I will probably have the coolest desk toys and trinkets in the entire Office building.

Jake, I tinker with trinkets

Good bye summer, Hello free time.

I guess it's a great thing for a newly married guy to work as often as possible while on summer break. It's been a great blessing to have excessive amounts of funds for saving up instead of getting into debt with student loans. Luckily school came and my schedule leaves me a nice three hour chunk of time between my morning classes and my afternoon classes. presently that is the perfect time to just sit down somewhere on campus and blog. I'm sure by the time i get half way into all of my classes i will be using this time to study and cram for quizzes. But for now it is just a great time to relax from work, school, and all cares of the world. I think I will take a nice nap now and recover from my intense work-eat-sleep-work summer routine.

Jake, yes i hit the snooze button again.

I think I've found it

Found what you ask? I've found our blog look. After a year or so of changing the look of our blog every month or two I've found a look I love! What do you think? Is it a keeper?

Like our banner? It's Jake's and my silhouettes. Pretty cool eh? :)

Lemon Wreath

You probably all know this but just in case one of you missed the memo .... I love yellow!

Though I have been leaning more towards aqua/teal lately my love for yellow is still strong.

Anyways, since I still love yellow and since its still technically summer I made a wreath that fits in both of those categories!

The Lemon Wreath!

I saw the idea on pinterest  {most wonderful place ever! if you don't know what it is look it up. it is awesome!} which then referred me to Ordy and Joon who helped me make it.

Isn't it beautiful!

It makes me smile every time I open the door.

I love buttons!

Every time I see a button I stop to think about how I can make it into a ring.

Here are some buttons that are soon to be rings.

These red ones have the coolest texture :)

Super excited for these yellow ones!

And of course there are all these {and more} lovely beads!

Have a great night!
