Ideas

Since we are getting really close to purchasing our first home (more on that later) I have been looking at all kinds of DIY activities. I have been saving every link and picture for my ideas folder. I have tear pages, desktop folders, etc. All in a very organized way of course :) I came across this precious menu board. I will probably make it my to-do-list board. I love that it is sleek, and simple. The colors can be changed, and it can be any size you want! I am all about this! I am going to try to keep track of all my projects on the blog. The house we are hoping to buy is adorable! It just needs some work. Rich and I are ready to tackle the projects! Stay tuned for updates.

Supplies:

• Picture frame with glass front
• Piece of patterned scrapbook paper to fit in your frame
• Optional: Vinyl cut letters for each day of the week (you could always just hand write them)
• Dry-erase marker

Two Years...

Two years ago I married my very best friend. It was the most gorgeous day outside, hot, but perfect. I remember waking up and taking every moment in. A woman I respect so very much gave me words of wisdom that stuck with me. She said, "When you wake up the morning of your wedding, sit down and pray that you would remember every little detail. Remember the music you listened to that morning, the prayers you prayed, everything." That helped so much, thankfully I remember the day well! Of course, there are things I forgot, it was a long day after all! Most importantly, I remember our vows. Two years ago, we made promises to each other. Every anniversary Rich and I watch our wedding video. All of it, the whole ceremony and everything. It reminds us of things we often forget during the year. I love this man with my whole heart. I have grown to love him even more 2 years later. I did not think that was possible! I have been blessed to have 2 years of marriage with him. So much has happened in two years. We got Tegan, we have a niece, we moved, Rich got a new job, graduated seminary, made new friends, missed old friends, went on vacations, cried, laughed, loved and lossed. I am grateful for our marriage and our friendship.

Things I Can't Wait To Do In DFW

Rich and I are so excited to have little adventures again! Now that he is done with school we can plan more fun dates! We are starting a running list of things to do..I cant wait!

Fresh food and flowers!

Paddle boarding... so fun!
These two things are what I am ready to do first. After I figure out what else we want to do I will post again :)

A New Kind of Fun

Well Shay and Amanda got me hooked. Pintrest is my new addiction. I love making mood boards. I have a binder also that I have had since Rich and I got married. I printed pictures out from blogs and had tear pages. This is much more fun!

Enjoy!

The Bachelorette

Well, I did it again. Another season that I promised myself I would not start watching. I caved. I didn't even make it one episode before I started reading realitysteve.com (I enjoy the spoilers). I thought for sure Will would be the guy for Ashley. Until the roast. Seriously, what was he thinking? I have to admit I wasn't a huge Ashley fan, but she is growing on me.

Can we just talk about these guy for a second...

So Bentley is a jerk. From what ABC showed us. We know that Ashley was warned about him and chose to ignore it. I have to remember that we are only showed edited portions of this show. That is what makes it entertaining. The rose ceremonies (according to Steve) can last for hours. OK, so Will hurts Ashley's feelings (it was harsh) Bentley leaves, and JP comes to Ashley's rescue. He is the guy that is open to letting her lay around in sweat pants (I am a fan!) and is so sweet to her. I still like Will though. He seems sweet and made a mistake since he got caught up in the moment. Any thoughts on who the guy will be??
