OutDoor ToyBox MakeOver

I've been searching and searching for an outdoor toy box for all my kids junk.

All the balls, squirt guns, and shovels were driving me batty. I used an old laundry basket last summer, but I'd had it this summer.

I made it my mission to find one. Then I realized they are so expensive. I mean really…$100 for something that's going to get trashed?! I don't think so.

Then yesterday I found one at a garage sale for $15. $15.oo people! I was so excited because it was in awesome condition (probably because she never kept it outdoors). I wasn't crazy about the colors so I bought a couple of cans of spray paint and, VOILA! 

I chose Rust-Oleum's Nutmeg and Espresso.  To be honest with you I'm not totally sure that the paint will hold up very well. I know that it states that it "Also Bonds To Plastic!"…but…I'm doubtful. We'll see how time goes by.

As soon as I put it against the wall I noticed I may have a slight obsession with brown.

Hmmm…I can't even help myself I guess.

I love the colors and I'm loving the lack of junk on my lawn!

I'd say it was the best $20 I've spent it a while!

Pst! I'm on BlogLovin. See you there!

Color Block & A Cutie

Monday was our anniversary and so I wore this t-shirt for James. 

He says he loves it. It's his favorite. I don't always understand what he sees in me, but I am more than happy to wear something he likes.

T-shirt, shorts, and sandals. 

My man is easy to please. 

Shirt- $5 Wal-Mart (can you believe it!)

Shorts- Upcycled capri pants
Sandals- Target

They have all of these awesome v-neck t-shirts at wal-mart for under $5. I have three of them in different solid colors. Like I said…James liked it. How can I resist?

Okay…how cute is she?
Work it Ella, work it!

And don't forget I'm over on BlogLovin. Make sure to follow me there!

7 Years Ago

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary.

When James pulled away this morning for camp he rolled the window down and said "I have an itch". What a sweetheart.
Honestly, I still adore the man.

This morning I thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures from our big day.
It was such a happy day.

We were so fortunate to get married at my parents home in the mountains. What a gorgeous setting it is.

I had to include this pic, because it made me laugh out loud. That's my mom…smooching my groom on the mouth. Ha! 

This moment. When my dad gave me away, and gave James my purity ring. 

This moment. When it was just us at the alter. Untied.

This moment. I became his wife.

This moment. Looking at his new ring. You know, he never takes it off. Never. 

I used James grandmother's clutch. She took it to the military ball when she was dating James' grandfather. So special.

My mom made the cake. I loved it. I was DELICIOUS.

I remember laughing so much that day. I had so much fun.
Today, we still laugh together.
I am so blessed.

Thanks babe for the best 7 years.
You still take my breath away.
