A few days ago I saw a Halloween candy display being set up at the grocery store and I had to do a double take. This week we&#8217;re doing some small house projects with my stepdad (replacing baseboards, new balusters on the stairs&#8230;), which should be fun. He&#8217;s super helpful and incredibly handy with all sorts of odd jobs, and Daniel and I are so fortunate to have him. In between supervising the work (nodding along, pretending I know what he&#8217;s talking about), I&#8217;m going to be meeting with our florist for the wedding and having a bridal hair and makeup trial! 9 WEEKS TO THE WEDDING!<\/p>\n<p>What are some of your mid-summer plans?
