Hang on to your hats!!

After three years together Larry finally let me drive his truck (well, HAD to let me)! And even with the dash blocking my view I avoided hitting the cars around me and made it home without a scratch. Well, maybe just a little scratch. He keeps telling me not to eat cereal while driving...or text, or put on makeup, or blow-dry my hair, etc :/

...and last but not least

We are LOVING the pool. Just looking at it is a stress reliever for me. Larry on the other hand needs to throw the soaker squish ball at my face to relieve stress. Love you too honey ;) The dogs enjoy having their own backyard too.

A nutjob cont...

More of living room, kitchen, breakfast area, and master bedroom.

A nutjob just moved into the neighborhood

I walked my mom out and the boys were looking out from the two side windows. It was so cute so I ran in to get the camera. They were not as cooperative once I had the camera. My neighbors probably thought I was nuts tapping on one side trying to get Hutson to stay put while I ran to the other window to get Higgins to come over. Haha After putting peanut butter on each window and many more attempts running back and forth, they finally split up for the reenactment! Here are some more pics of the rooms that we have put together so far.
One is of our office/den. The walls look much darker in person. We have our desk off to the right. All the wall colors are from the previous owners. We lucked out that they had good taste and that all of our stuff fit perfectly.




Living room and dining room.

Walter and Mable....

What else can I say! I just love them! We went to Victoria last weekend to spend the day with Walter, Mable, dad, and Marge. We had a fish fry Saturday night and had such a good visit.

Bye Bye Berte...

We're packing up and saying good bye to our first home together. As we spend our last weeks here I thought I'd blog some pics of our 1st home before we leave. Some have only seen it as the bachelor pad and others have seen it as our home.

Bachelor pad dining room consisted of a foosball table, tools in a cardboard box, and a set of weights. We now have a real table and chairs.

B-pad living room consisted of black sofas, art deco above the mantel, and a zebra print chaise (man I miss that thing, NOT).



Master bedroom hasn't changed much. The walls were dingy white and *we painted it a Hazy Sage. LOVE the new color! *We also tossed out the old "boy" duvet cover and upgraded to a king size blanket. Someone tends to be quite the cover hog (won't mention any names). *once you get married you start using we which really still means I, haha

There's our first home folks. As much as I wasn't looking forward to moving into #375, I will miss it terribly. Well, maybe only until I lay out by our new pool ;)

Larry's Eight Squared...

Larry said he wouldn't complete my challenge so I decided to help him out. The first one was funnier (for those who might have seen it for the split second it was up) but per Larry's sweet request I changed it. This pic is from our trip to Vegas for a friends wedding. Larry won $250 first thing after checking in to our hotel.

Eight Squared

Lindsey tagged me in this little game! We met through husbands and she inspired me to start blogging. She is queen blogger in my eyes.

Here are the rules:

1. Go to your photo files and select the 8th photo folder.

2. Select the 8th photo in that folder.

3. Post that photo along with the story behind it.

4. Then challenge 8 blogging friends to do the same.

This is a picture from one of the best days of my life (second to our wedding day), my 30th birthday. My parents, brother, and closest friends here in Houston got together to celebrate the big 3-0. We went to El Patio in midtown followed by a little bar hopping. This pic is of my great friend Mindy and her husband Chris taken at dinner. Here are a few others...

I challenge Kathy, Lizzie, Larry, Mark, Gregg, Devon, Tim and Les. lol thank God it wasn't Nine squared!

Soon to be....our new home!

There is a combo feeling of wanting to jump up and down along with wanting to throw up! I think I want to jump up and down and Larry wants to vomit. haha Closing is set for June 18th and we are so excited! The pool is our favorite part!!
