Happy Voting Day! It's a "bold" kinda morning.

So, here is the deal: first of all, Happy Voting Day! I feel like writing in bold today. I hope you don't mind. I do not care whom you vote for (although I hope it is the candidate I like) as long as you vote. I have to figure out where my voting location is, since I have moved. I believe I am still registered at the beach, which is a looonnngg drive from my apartment, but umm, it's definitely for a great cause. Let's just say it's worth the gas money. Good luck to you all in your decisions; I hope you have made them yourselves and researched everything the candidate you are picking stands for.
 
In other news, I have pictures for y'all. Dur dur durrrrrr. Why? Because it's VOTING DAY and I have nothing further of importance to write about. Oh! Except one thing. I got my first Umba Box in the mail yesterday! I was really excited, and although B will deny it up and down, I know he was anticipating what I got when I told him. I got two really adorable things, and one tasty treat! We ate those tasty treats (homemade caramel clusters) right when he got home and they were gone FAST.

 
 
Oh hi! I gots my haircut! :P
 
 
 
 
 We are in love because we get along so well. We get along so well, because we're both the biggest dorks in the world. <3
 
 
 Dinner at Seasons 52 to celebrate my new job, but not before...
 
 
;) Things aren't always perfect, but he sure treats me well.
 
 
Then, we had friends over. Michelle is my long-lost-best friend! We used to be inseperable about 4-5 years ago, and we are often told we look like sisters. Her man friend (whom is an old friend of mine, as well) came along, too. We played "The Noun Game" (you can never possibly know how fun it is until you've played. Don't judge it based on the name of the game. Haha!) and grilled out by the pool. By the pool? Yes, don't forget I live in Florida.
 
 
Lastly, we (by we, I mean I made them & Brandon helped pick stuff out) made these homemade decorations for our home. They are sitting atop our island in the kitchen and I really adore them. On the left we've got potpourri (I don't know what "flavor" as Brandon likes to call it, but if there was one called FREAKIN' AWESOME SMELLING, that'd be it!). The skinny vase has red sand and a few cherries in the bottom, with the stick of berries, of course. The last one, with the black bow around it, is just a bowl full of fake, glittery cherries. I love DIY decorations. They've made our apartment come together a lot faster.
 
I am pretty sure that's all I have for now. Pretty please DO NOT forget to read the POST BELOW (readddd it, do it, pwese) and pick a tutorial. Thanks!

    1. You can go to www.umbabox.com, but it is a creative little surprise box you get in the mail once a month. It has three handmade gifts and a card about the people that made your gifts. So exciting! I loved mine, and am sooo excited about December's!!!
