pool party!

I can't believe September is almost over -- this month has honestly been one of the best of my entire life. I know I spent quite a bit of it moaning about how crazy everything was, but I am SO incredibly grateful for this amazing month and all the opportunities that it brought!

And... our pool is finally filled with water! There's still some work to finish, but I wanted to show you guys a sneak peek! I'm particularly proud of how it turned out because I worked with the pool company to visualize and design it -- and it turned more beautiful than I even imagined! (In case you're curious, you can check out my original inspiration photo on Pinterest here!)

It's a pretty amazing transformation, considering that on July 31, our backyard was the photo below. Quite a before and after!
