Wedding Bells

Chris and I went to Tulsa last weekend for his college roommate's wedding. It was fun seeing and catching up with so many we hadn't seen since leaving OU.

While we were in town, we stopped by to see The Paul's. Of course, the kiddos were the center of attention. Carson is growing up fast and Bella is cute as can be! We love our dear friends and are so appreciative of the time we're able to spend with them!

80's Night

I had to steal these pics from Cheryl's facebook because they are hilarious and I'm also so impressed with their creativity. It was 80's night in their youth group so Cheryl took them to the roller rink.

Great job ladies - you look FABULOUS!

Andrews Family Reunion

We flew home to Amarillo this weekend for the Andrews family reunion. I'm so glad we went - it was so much fun catching up with family we hadn't seen in a long time.

Closer to the final product...

Mom and I have made some progress on getting the house decorated.

Here are some more pictures...

New Art in Entryway

(some of you are aware of my love for horses so these were a great find)

Breakfast Nook

Kitchen

Master Bedroom
(Mom and I padded the walls and the stripped material is actually fabric. Easy way to add color and texture.)

Paul Family Visit

My dearest friend and her family came to visit us here in Dallas this past weekend and as always, we had the best of time. I must say, I give her and her husband so much credit because having two kiddos (3 months and 23 months) just for the weekend was exhausting so I can't even imagine what it's like having them full-time!

Before & After

Chris and I got all moved in to our new house and things are slowly starting to come together. I always enjoy seeing before and after pictures so I thought I'd post some of my own...

Entry Way

Living Room

We have so much to do but it feels good to have some things accomplished! I'll post more pictures as we progress.
