Another Catch-Up Post...

So we've been super busy lately...we are getting a house!!! We close on July 20th, we take possession of it on the 23rd around 5:00. We will spend that whole weekend painting the living room, kitchen/dining, and the master bedroom. We will be putting the word out for some help around that time, we will have pizza and adult beverages as compensation. ;)

We have been occupied doing some shopping. Our red couch was that microfiber material, and it just wore down to a funky purple-black color in spots, and we just needed to buy a better couch. So we gave the red couch to my friend Molly, and we ordered a new couch and two great chairs at Rooms to Go, we are getting those the Wednesday after we move in. We also have a new mattress coming (the one we are sleeping on now is about 15 years old...ew!!). All we really have left to buy is a refrigerator and possibly a new dishwasher, and then we're set for the big stuff.

It's crazy to think a month from tomorrow we will be closing on our house...our first house! We are so excited, and I've been DYING to post some pictures for you guys to see! So here they are!











We are so in love with this house, we cannot WAIT to get in and paint and just make it our own! We will be having an awesome house warming party/Pampered Chef party (courtesy of my friend MJ Martin!).

As many of you also know, our little baby Dewey got very sick last week. It ended up being a fever of 105 and some dehydration. The visit to the vet was extremely traumatic for Dewey...and ALSO for me. So Andrew will do the next vet visit, haha. I can't do that again for a very long time. God help me when my future children hurt themselves or are really sick...

Anyways, he is back to his normal self, maybe slightly more appreciative of his mommy (we've had some sweet moments since last week, I swear he knows I got him help). He has been sunning himself on the rug like old times:



SO! Today was Father's Day. And since Andrew and I don't have fathers in town, we went to Chamberlain's Fish Market Grill for an A-MAZ-ING brunch, followed by a quick trip to Lowe's to check out a few things, then finally ended up at my sister's house for some brisket and fixin's with her family. The kids hadn't seen Uncle Andrew in awhile, and Jacob was super happy to see him...they had fun together!






Paigers was glued to my side for most of the night, she insisted on sitting next to me at dinner and was just being super silly with me.





Eli ate corn on the cob like a big boy, it was so cute!




Jacob also showed us how awesome he is doing with putting together little Lego kits. He's getting so big, so fast...



Andrew finally was able to give Travis his birthday present...a Rudy's T-shirt! They looked so cute...



We absolutely love, love, LOVE Sundays with the Woods. It's our favorite time of the week, hands down. We love you guys! Thanks for an awesome dinner!

So not much else going on, we will try to update a few more times before the big move in July. Hope you all had as wonderful a weekend as we did!

  1. Yay! I'm so excited for you both! Gerald was a professional house painter before we moved back to Texas, so if you'd like some pro-advice or what have you, he's here to help! Weee!
