keep your mustard out of my rice fool
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but all is well. Pinterest helps with that. We have colored glass, old bottles and mason jars coming out our eyeballs here at the Buckner home. Still not even close to enough.
Life has been so busy lately, but in the most blessed of ways.
We are going to be so poor and somehow I keep not getting enough hours- and yet I feel peace- we feel peace. Last night Tanner and I went to a cheap sushi place in American Fork. I don't know about you, but cheap and sushi are two words that could not sound better together to me. After cheap sushi we SPLURGED and saw a movie at night time. Maybe not the best idea? Aw well, we won't make a habit of it. The movie was SUPER 8 and it was super gr8. It was a vintage film in the most ironic of ways. Which was quite pleasing to me. Go and see at.
As we were driving home there was a lighting show in the sky. Since it was a cloudy night, entire clouds were just lit up one after another. It was stunning. Instead of grabbing a camera (which we should've!) we just headed up traverse mountain to watch this lighting show over the Salt Lake valley. Unreal. Makes these big fireworks that are legal this year (which are seriously the coolest ever) seem so insignificant.
Storms are cool! But not on August 19.
Lots of love.

So, on Saturday I got heat exhaustion at work and was super sick all weekend. I stayed at Tanner's because my parents were out of town. Shut up I was in the guest room. Anyways, I woke up Monday morning (still super sick) and Tanner had brought me a flower from the garden! It was super cute. You are probably gagging right now but the smell of the rose kind of made me gag too. Don't tell. It was still cute and I still LOVED IT.
Dress shopping was crazy. I ordered dresses online from Jcrew, Bhldn, and even almost wore my grandmother's gown (GORGEOUS 1955 designer gown), in the end though I found the perfect dress from Claire Pettibone. It is couture. How classy. Couture also means... made from scratch. I will hopefully be getting the dress 3 weeks from today. Cross your fingers.
We went to San Rafeal swell about a month ago. It was fabulously dry, hickish, and hot. But fun. And considering all the wedding planning- it will be our last trip until we go to....

la wednesday grandiose
Ok. Tonight we headed up the canyon with 2 boy scouts. 11 year old boys are weird. That, I am sure, is a huge surprise to you. Regardless of weirdness though it was a beautiful night up the canyon and a surprisingly nice retreat from the wind of the valley. We ate tin foil dinners, which were completely awful. Half way through cooking about 50 cops and ambulances drove up the canyon and we spent the rest of the night standing on the edge of the river keeping our eye out for a little boy who had gone in higher up the canyon. It was one of those instances where I just wished there was more I could do. All I could do was pray though. Just pray.
What is beautiful though- is seeing people from all around who care- and who want to help. It was unreal standing there and realizing that this could happen to anyone. You know, I don't know why the night had such an impact on me, but I stood there on the verge of tears hoping and praying for this little boy I did not know. I think it was because there is a little boy in my life who I know and love- and I ached for this other little boys family, and my thoughts and prayers are surely with them.
Tomorrow I start corn season again, weird how much I love that place is it not?

Ok. I have been totally and completely out of my mind bored lately. So of course I've been doing things that a bored housewife should be doing. Not a 19 year old. Number one? I am loving the show Pregnant in Heels. WAH? It's weird right? Anyways, pictures.
Seriously. Bored. Bird cage: Wonderful store at the Gateway: Z Gallerie. Chair? Bought it for 10 dollars at DI, spent 0 money on paint, and 8 dollars on fabric (from IKEA, how cool is that!) Not bad. The lamp shade cost seriously more than the chair because I originally bought that fabric for the chair. I did not buy nearly enough though- so voila! Lamp shade. It's not quite finished yet so don't look too closely. Anyways, I'm really really dying to reupholster a wing back chair or make a headboard next.

Seems like it's gonna be a tough time. Wish me luck.
