ME: I’ll watch out. Thanks dad

My dad listens to country music for about 50% of his day, so I get so many songs stuck in my head. I always love this one though.

update on the casa

Things are moving along with the house. We are finishing projects here and there, from bigger ones (painting my dresser) to smaller ones like putting up pictures. Our goal is to have almost everything done by Labor Day weekend. After that I will post some before and after pics of the whole house. One thing we won't be able to re-do for awhile because of the cost is the kitchen. I posted a pic below. Check back on the blog for more pics to come!

lake weekend recap

Amy's Bachelorette weekend was so fun and relaxing! Being at the house has been a lot to handle with my mind because I can't relax...there's always something to work on! Being away was exactly what I needed. I got to meet some of Amy's friends from college and from Smyrna, which was nice to put faces with names. Her maid of honor Lauren did such a great job with the house and food. I was definitely hesitant about coming back home to our unorganized house!
