How am I doing?

2 weeks from tomorrow I will offically become Leah Whitney Heffelfinger.

Craziness.

I've been getting this question a lot: Are you nervous?

Answer: No. I'm 100% ready to become Sam's wife. Yes. I'm nervous excited to see the plans that we've made for our wedding weekend come together. 

I think it's a good thing that I'm more nervous about the actual day than the lifetime that's ahead of us. 

Is Sam nervous? 

I think he would say the same thing - though I don't think he will care too much if the flowers are the wrong shade of pink or a groomsman forgets a tie...

So, other than the fact that my new signature looks like a 5th grader is signing my name, I'm doing great! Sam and I are ready to commit ourselves to each and to God, and begin this new chapter in our lives. We've got the love and support of our families and dear friends. And to add a cherry on top, we're each others BESTIES! What better way to spend a lifetime than with your best friend?! 

I'm rambling...I was thinking about writing a post about my feelings about getting married, but all that I could come up with when I sat down at the computer was... I'm Fine! I'm not nervous. I'm so excited! I LOVE Sam. And he LOVES me. And we're GETTING HITCHED in 16 days! 

HOLY. CRAP. 

Once we get married, I do have one slight problem that I'd like to share with you... the name of this blog is Sam and Leah Get Hitched...do I change it to Sam and Leah GOT Hitched...? Doesn't really have a nice ring to it. 

I've been brainstorming some ideas, but I'd love you advice. 

I want to continue this blog after the wedding to document our adventures, show you what we're building, post some awesome new recipe that I found, and of course add to all the ways that Kona sleeps. 

So, how about you give me some ideas, huh? That's a great idea! Lots of brains are better than just mine! 

Alright, let's wrap up this mumbo jumbo of a post with some pictures of the week, shall we???

1. We're makin' stuff! Before and Afer pics to come soon!

2. I taught myself some basic embroidery skills so I could use some of those Pinterest ideas.

Have a fun weekend everyone!

Gardening 101

Sam and I moved into our new home in early June, and if you are an avid gardener, you probably know that's a little to late to start a veggie garden. But we thought, what the heck, might as well give it a shot - thanks to a few fine folks that gave us some Home Depot gift cards, we were able to plant some pretty flowers and some starter veggies. And thanks to my Dad for supplying us with a handful of Agro Towers!

 

Agro Towers were designed to increase the growing power of a plot of land by allowing the grower to grow his produce vertically as well has horizontally - more fruit per acre of land = more $$$. But the other sweet thing about these stackable pots, is the ability to create 3-dimensional arrangements that can be rearranged anyway your heart desires. 

Sam created this little corner piece with some yummy blueberries, marigolds, and bell peppers. The stack on the right contains chilis, cherry tomatoes, and squash. 

Let's cross our fingers for a warm fall so we can actually get some yummy veggies and fruit from these plants before winter! 

And for those of you that are interested in getting your own Agro Towers check out my Dad's website:
