| Avington Coffee Table from Target |
|
Our brand new Avington coffee table from Target! Bought after a crazy drive, getting lost in Kapolei one night. We actually intended to get a coffee table over a year ago, after we moved into our new place, so it was was about time. It was really easy to assemble, and great quality. It was about $140, but it's very nice and made from real wood.
One day a couple of months back, I saw a puzzle while shopping at Barnes
and Nobel. It was a scene from a town in Cinque Terre, Italy, and it
immediately brought me back to last spring when we were there. Although
I've never done a 2000 piece puzzle before, I knew I had to buy it. Another reason we bought the coffee table was so we could do the puzzle on it, but as you can see, the puzzle is clearly too big, so we had to move it to the floor.
The above picture is after our first night of working on the puzzle. It took about 4 1/2 hours to get this far.
And this is the most recent shot, from a couple days ago. It's been about 2 weeks since we've been working on it, and I've lost count of how many hours we've put into it. We are planning to frame it after it's done, but I think that in itself will be a big challenge.
Awesome lemon raspberry muffins!! Made from a recipe I found on Pinterest made with whole wheat flour:

I'm thinking about doing a few blog posts reviewing recipes I've tried on Pinterest. I've tried several others that have come out amazing, and they've become staple dinners in our house :)
Kainoa getting ready for a trip to the store! We took him out to Petco last week. I don't know if he enjoyed it too much, because he seemed more scared than anything, but he definitely enjoyed the car ride!
As far as wedding planning goes, we met with our florist last week. We had a consultation with her, and hopefully will get an estimate by the end of the week. We had out engagement photos done yesterday! We had our engagement session at Hawaii Loa Ridge, and it was so much fun! Our photographer
Shannon Sasaki was amazing! Even though we were both nervous at first, she was super easy to work with and so much fun! We had a great time and I can't wait to see the pictures!
Work has been crazy lately. I finished my training, and have been on my own for the past week. Even though it's been super busy and stressful, I do like my job, and I'm learning a lot.
Hope everyone is doing well! Sorry for the lack of posts...my life lately has consisted of work and puzzle time. Btw isn't it crazy that it's almost October?? I can't believe how fast this year is going!
