Good morning! I hope you all had a nice weekend. With the weather finally cooling down a bit, we spent a lot of time outside. Yesterday also marked the one year anniversary of us living in Florida! Here’s a bit of what else we’ve been up to this past week.

Home Projects & Updates
Decorating has been slow this past week, as we’ve really been trying to make the most of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law’s visit down here! I did add this designer look-for-less lamp to our entryway (sold as a set of two). It’s on the smaller side, but I really like it! I also added these scalloped wicker frames with family photos for a bit of texture.

If we zoom out a bit, you can see I still have a “situation” in our entryway though 😉 Still have a few totes to unpack, decor to put away, and deliveries to address. But, this looks ten times better than how it did a week ago!
I’ve been working on organizing my office as well. I’m almost done in this space too. Unfortunately, with the location of my office, it was the dumping grounds for just about everything when we first moved in, so it’s been quite the process getting it all cleaned out and properly handled. I just have this one corner left to tackle and then I can share the space soon!

There was an issue with the garage cabinets when they were first installed, but they came back to finish last week. Kurtis is happy to have so much hidden storage and a dedicated space to work out off to one side.

In Case You Missed It
Following are the posts I shared over the past week, in case you missed some days!
Around Town & For Fun
We started the week off with a vet visit for these two munchkins. After Henley’s swollen lip incident last week, we got them both in for their annual exams. They both did great!
Tuesday night was trivia night, and I gave up my seat since the category was Sports. Thankfully my brother-in-law, Pat, was a natural to take my spot!
My friend Rachel and I resumed our golf classes this past week! We’re paired with many of the same ladies we were paired with in the spring and I think it will be a really fun six weeks! I definitely lost a lot of what I learned from our last session (not golfing at all in the interim will do that) but I’m already excited to get back to it!
These two little peas in a pod are usually within a one foot diameter of each other. Hawkeye basically follows Bailey around if he’s not following me. It’s pretty cute!
Thursday I went to a fun event for my friend Jess and the launch of her second jewelry collection with Taudrey. It was fun to catch up with a few local friends I hadn’t seen in awhile!
OUTFIT DETAILS: Striped Puff Sleeve Sweater (also here and here on sale) | Skinny Flare Jeans | Platform Sandals | Aviator Sunglasses
Afterwards, I grabbed lunch with these two cuties! I was bad about taking any pictures, so sharing a screenshot from Ashley’s stories 😉
We also saw our first signs of fall across the street from the restaurant. We all immediate noticed these falls colors because they haven’t really shown up otherwise down here!
That evening, my sister-in-law made homemade pizza for us (always so yummy) and we followed it up with cards and drinks. One of our favorite traditions to do together when we lived in Omaha!
We layed low most of Saturday and then watched some football out by the pool. I actually got in the pool and the spa for the first time since we moved in!
We also set up our new outdoor dining table! After a few months, Pottery Barn ended up cancelling the table I originally ordered, so I found this one on Target’s site and it arrived quickly within a few days. I can’t wait to start using this space more!

Friday night we had a reservation at Old Florida Fish House for dinner. Janine had never been (we had taken Pat last fall when he helped us move down here) and it was such a fun night!
We started Sunday off with an early morning breakfast with Pat and Janine at Raw & Juicy. We then did a round of 10 holes of golf in the neighborhood, followed by a late afternoon and evening at the beach. It was a really fun day!
If you’re looking to do some of your holiday shopping early, there are going to be some really great deals this week. Today, Walmart is launching their Holiday Deals Kick-Off event at 12 PM EST. Tomorrow and Wednesday will also be the Amazon Prime Deal Days. So with that, you know a bunch of competitors will be launching competing sales. I’ll plan to do a big round-up post tomorrow!
Kurtis’ sister and brother-in-law already leave Friday – these three weeks have gone by way too quickly! We plan to soak up as much time with them as possible with our last remaining evenings.
I end today’s post with a prayer for Israel and a prayer for peace.

Can’t believe you two have been Floridians for a year already! I would love that garage storage as well!
