{Love}...

{Love}–noun

-a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

Tomorrow is October. I can't believe how fast time flies.

If it's anywhere near as great as September, I'll welcome it with open arms.

Tomorrow starts the month of {Love} Dares. Tomorrow marks 12 days of being married. Tomorrow takes me one day closer to seeing my family.

I. can. not. wait.

So mister October. My name is Awna. I welcome you.

We Dare You to Love.

Two more days until Project {Love}..

We couldn't be more thrilled!

It will be a month of fun blogs filled to the top with love. We have some great guest bloggers, and some wonderful ideas, and some wedding re-caps on the way.

We hope you take it in, and learn a little something about keeping love simple, fun, romantic, giddy, and adventurous. Just the way it should be.

We dare you to join in.

Share with us your tips. thoughts. and ideas on...

fun date ideas.

silly daily rituals.

loving moments.

because we all know we can learn from each other.

Love Dares..

Sometimes it just takes a little "outside of the box" thinking. Sometimes it takes a little inspiration from other couples. Sometimes it just takes a husband willing to go along with these ideas...to make an excellent Saturday night.

Our night included frozen yogurt, hot fudge, kisses, a little movie{thank you husband-good pick~}, and of course, our little Love Fort.

We spent the night giggling like we were 15, and that only continued when we woke up in the morning. It was a cheap, fun date that made married life extra fun.

So--we dare you. Whether you are 17, 33, or 45. Try something fun.

Do something silly.

And then tell us about it. We all can take some advice from others-show us the fun giddy things you do to keep your love fun.

It's our Love Dare.

The Leno's.

We did it.

We laughed. We cried. We joked. We danced. We ate. We posed. We kissed. We smiled. We said I do.

And we became husband and wife.

There is no better feeling in the world than that.

Especially when the best dad in the world walks you towards the guy you love, with your mom and brothers standing right next to you.

That my friends--is happiness.

A few of my favorite things!

FROM OUR WEDDING!!! :)

Days gone by..

These are the fun memories of the last few days. --Building doors, painting signs, organizing flowers, stealing Jace's kisses--....It's crazy how fast time seems to be flying! Tomorrow our loved ones, and friends will arrive for our rehearsal dinner. We can't wait to see everyone come together! Only two days to go!

Time.

I always wish I had a little more of it. It's all going so fast!

Especially when our wedding is 11 days away. Yes. 11.

Crazy.

I wish I had more time with my family.

More time with Jace.

More time to enjoy friends.

More time for photography...

and more time to blog! I'm sorry i've been so bad about it!

However I am not being lazy! I am making the most that i DO have, and I love it.

We are getting into full on wedding mode. Most of the big things are done, just finishing up some little projects.

I love it.

I can't wait to see it all play out. Even if it's not perfect we will be married.

This week I have---

-my hair trial, dye, and last trim.

-facials with my brother and his girlfriend. yes, he agreed. happily i think!

-my last two days of work before the wedding

-my cousins wedding. Congrats Brent and Brittany!

-to write some thank you's to people who very much deserve them.

-to make up a wedding day time-line.

-to load {what seems like my whole 2 bedroom apartment} into my SUV.

-Lunch with two of my best friends!

So many fun little things. Getting married is really the time of your life.

Enjoy every little moment. Even if the time passes too fast. Try and take it all in.

It's a beautiful thing.

another beautiful and crazy thing is my family. this picture definately shows why my bothers rock.

it's the older of the two brothers, brade, giving our 2nd cousins a ride on the "Daddle"

It's a saddle, to wear on the dad's back. You should probably get one for your kids now.

They loved it.

And the laughter was plenty~

Gavin goes first!

Berkley's turn~!

Mac and I just enjoying the show!



Enjoy the rest of your week! :)
