what i’ve been up to.

Here’s what I’ve been up to….

FRIDAY

Dinner here with my in-laws

My brother-in-law Cory 
bought this giant growler

Isn’t he good looking?
…And he’s single!
I told him if he doesn’t find a girl soon I’m going to do a giveaway and he’s going to be the prize, so be on the lookout for that :).

SATURDAY

Zumba first to start the day.
Then…coffee and magazines at Powell’s
with my friend Liz.
(P.S. check out her blog.  Yummy food!)


I wasn’t super scholarly.
I spent most of my time here….
reading magazines.

We also went to Anthro.
And I remembered why I never go…
I end up wanting EVERYTHING.

My birthday is coming up in August.
Here are a couple things on my list:
(*hint, hint Craig*)


THEN…
party at the bro-in-law/his roommie’s house.
They have 3 acres, so we played 
homemade frisbee golf.
Marley tried to eat everyone’s frisbees.



Craig jumped through this giant bonfire.
I had a video, 
but I can’t figure out how to post it.
He’s crazy.

SUNDAY

We spent ALL day on the 4th 
with our friends John & Dana…
because we love them ♥.

We played frisbee golf.
Then came home & watched “Anchorman”.
I was a happy camper.
Oh how I love you Ron Burgundy.
“I had ribs.  I had ribs for lunch.  That’s why I’m doing this.”

Then we played putt-putt.
I got last place, the guys tied and Dana won!




After that we came home and did some of the obligatory fireworks.

THEN ate delicious BBQ’d rosemary tri-tip steak, the best garlic-basil buttered corn on the cob I’ve ever had and blueberry, sparkling lemonade and ate it out around our fire pit.


MONDAY

Craig and I had dark chocolate chip banana waffles for breakfast and stayed in our pajamas all…day….long.  We only left the house to go see this movie (Micmacs – trailer here).
We loved it…but we loved eating the Blizzards we snuck into the theater even more :).


AND…that’s about it.
What have you been up to lately?

Hope you have a good Wednesday!

  1. oh I wish I had your weekend! It sounds amazing! And I wish Craig’s brother lived closer because I definitely have friends who’d be interested! He’s so cute! Can’t believe Craig jumped through that bonfire. so crazy!! (going out to buy that oil tm by the way..you convinced me!)

  2. Lots of fun!!!
    What a fun giveaway that would be 😛 and get that Capri candle it’s AMAZING! xoxo

  3. I have the exact same problem every time I go to anthro where I want everything and imagine it all in my apartment or in my life. Or alternatively I could just live in one of their stores, that would work also.

  4. It seems like everywhere I turn people are out playing putt-putt. It’s starting to make me jealous because I haven’t been in forever. Sounds like you had an awesome holiday weekend though. And I would totally throw in my bid for your special giveaway! 🙂

  5. What a gorgeous weekend! My fave Ron Burgundy quotes are:
    “For just one night let’s not be Co-workers. Let’s be Co-people.”
    and
    “Sweet Lincoln’s mullet!”

  6. Looks like a great weekend. Love the photos! 🙂

  7. It would literally be one of the FUNNIEST things to see your brother-in-law as a giveaway 🙂 You should totally do it lol

  8. aww that sounds like such a great weekend! i am so glad that you watched anchorman..i laughed so hard when i read that line about the ribs..haha too funny! “grandmothers spatula!!” haha. love that show. i have never heard of that micmacs movie but maybe i will have to check it out! and sneak some blizzards in… hope you have a lovely day friend!

  9. A Widmer growler!? I’m SO jealous!

  10. Looks like a great weekend!

    You should TOTALLY do a giveaway using your BIL. That’d be kind of hysterical.

  11. sounds like a very full, fun weekend! i looove flavored butter on corn – yum!

  12. I may be a tad biased because I am IN the blog, but this may be your best post yet : ) I think you’re excellent friend! Thanks again for spending the 4th with us. We had a BLAST. Hope to see you soon!

  13. Ron Burgandy!! Love that guy 😉

  14. Darn it! There you go always making me want to move to Oregon! I hardly even look on the Anthro website anymore because I want EVERYTHING!

  15. oh my gosh! do a giveaway with him as the prize? thats hilarious! hhahhaha. i am glad you had a great weekend. 🙂

  16. Love these pictures. Your brother-in-law is a cutie. Glad you have had so much fun.

  17. oh man, that Volcano candle is the BEST ever! Hey, enjoy the weather today – no more gloom! YAY!

  18. what does your brother-in-law think about the fact that you posted that on your blog? that is too funny.
    my gmail status all week was “dear anthropologie, please stop sending me emails because i am now unemployed and cannot afford your clothes” …not that i could before. i shouldn’t even go in there. it’s pure torture.

  19. Wow I think we are the same person…I have been eyeing the volcano candle and the Pure & Good soap for months now…I doubt the volcano candle will never go on sale so I prob will just give in and get it but the soap I think will go on sale eventually. I really just want it for the cute glass bottle that I will just refill…I loath cheesy looking bottles of soap! Looks like you had an awesome weekend, this is inspiring me to get my weedend in review post up too!

  20. Holy action packed weekend! It sounds like it was a blast. Seeing all of the awesome things in Portland makes me so excited to be there in two weeks, yay! Anthropologie is of the devil, everything is amazing, but way too expensive so it makes me sad, just like the devil

  21. I’ve just subscribed to Liz’ blog. Looks pretty! Sounds like an awesome time Lauren and let me know if Cory’s ever in Australia!

  22. so is your brother-in-law excited about being the subject of a giveaway? i’m sure you’d get a lot of entries.

    that picture of the guy with the spatula is hilarious!

    XO

  23. All I can say is YUMMMMM!

  24. Your brother-in-law is definitely very handsome! 🙂
    I love playing putt putt (is this the real name for it? in germany we call it mini golf). I always lose. But it’s so much fun!
    Hope you have a great week!
    xo

  25. Oh it looks like such a fun time! This makes me want to take more photos and document my weekends!

    I’ve also been wanting the Pure & Good soap from Anthro! It’s just so pretty!

    Enjoy the rest of your week!!! xoxo

  26. Hubs and I are obsessed with the Anthro Volcano candle! Once a week, right after I clean the bear cave (meaning our apartment), I light the candle and plop down on the couch and bask in the awesomeness of a clean, yummy-smelling house. The scent is so relaxing and it makes me so happy! I hope you get one for your birthday 🙂
