Leaving On A Jet Plane

Today is the day! We are headed to Hawaii for ten days of bliss in paradise.
Maui is calling my name. My bags are packed. My nails are painted. I bought tanning oil, too.
I'm not coming back unless I'm a nice dark shade of brown.
So peace out home skillets.
I'm going to the lovely place below!

A Best Friend's Wedding

About a month and a half ago, I traveled with my bestest friend, Emily, to Utah for a 60 hour trip to see one of our greatest friends get married. Here are the long lost photos from that trip. I was so happy to be able to witness the marriage of Caitlyn and be able to party at her reception. Love is a great thing to be celebrated!
"Squeaky Cheese" Stop. Funny thing: Emily hates cheese!! She's such a weirdo ;)


The beautiful bride getting ready for her big day

On the way to the Manti temple, we were halted by a huge flock of 300+ sheep. 




Em & I were temporary hobos and took a nap at the park. We were exhausted.
A pic with the bride and groom. Caitlyn's dress was amazing!
We had an amazing road trip. I love spending time with Emily. Plus, it was a wonderful event to celebrate, and the whole day was absolutely beautiful. It is cheesy for me to say this, but I know these girls will always be my friends. Now it's time for us to get Emily married ;)

Just kidding.

Kind of.

Not really.

Love,
Evi

Wise Men Say


Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you.

Between falling in love and getting married, some say that we might have rushed it.

Nevertheless, I am so happy with the way that we have done things.

We've been married for almost sixteen months.

We've been together for twenty-nine months.

We still have eternities to be together.

My life has never been better than it is now.

Shout out to the hubs that I absolutely adore.

Of Polka Dots and Sunshine

Father's Day is a well-deserved holiday. This year it was even more special because it is the first Father's Day that I've been able to spend with my dad in a few years. Thus, I felt like the day deserved a put-together outfit, well, at least for church. After church it is definitely a sweatpants party in this house. Except it is summer, so we are all definitely rocking shorts and baggy shirts. On a more fashionable note, I'm in love with polka dots. Specifically, I'm in love with my polka dot skirt. With this summer weather, I can help but to wear bright colors and polka dots. I love summer!!

The Breakdown
Skirt: Banana Republic, thrifted; Button Up: Cotton On; Headband: H & M; Flats: Gap
In summation, it was a beautiful and sunny Father's Day, which was spent in good company. Lately, I wouldn't have my life any other way.

Love,
Evi

My Favorite Birthday Boy

   
Stoked to get his Triton headphones for his Xbox.

Yep, the boy models, but only when it is gaming related.



Brownie "Cake" at the Figgat Celebration

His Birthday Dinner of Choice at Lucille's



Awful pic, but the only one of the whole fam from Adam's bday.


Adam turned 25 on Wednesday. Crazy. It's amazing that this is the third birthday of his that we have been able to celebrate together. I think I love Adam's birthday way more than mine. It's much more fun to buy him gifts. Plus, he lets me go all out for his birthday. With two celebrations completed, even he admits that this was a birthday for the books. His loot included the headphones, three shirts, swim trunks, shorts, and an awesome Thai dinner with his sister and our bro-in-law. 
Happy birthday, Adam!

Love,
Evi

"Work" Lately

Sara & Leah

Travis





Just passing out flyers to some of the prettiest parks in Orange County. :)
So, with no success, I haven't found a "permanent" job for the summer. Since my schedule is odd, I am having a hard time finding work. However, I am nannying, babysitting, house sitting, and passing out flyers like no other. They're odd jobs, but they bring in the dough right now. Babysitting is my favorite because I get to play with cute kids, like the ones listed at the beginning of this post. They're my favorite kids to babysit. :) Also, putting flyers on cars is not a bad gig either. For now, I'm just trying to enjoy the down time that I have, considering I'm only taking two online classes and can't find a job.

Bring on the sunshine!

Love, Evi

Hello My Name Is...

...Officially changed!

The last time I legally signed my name as Eviane Hayhurst.


Boom. It's changed.
Yes, I have been married for over a year.
Yes, I have used the name Figgat.
No, it hasn't been legal, at least until this last month. :)
It has finally happened. My last name is Figgat, and I'm proud of it!
But, I will admit... I will miss Hayhurst as my last name. At least being a Hayhurst girl is a permanent thing. :)
