OUR HOUSE - pre-renovations

My sweet friend, Kat, suggested I start blogging again and

show the progress we make on our fixer-upper.

So here are some pictures of our new home the way it looked when we purchased it..

It's a small starter home that needed some major updating but we think its going to be really cute when we get everything done and it's a great space for us for now.

In the future I'll post pictures of the progess and then some before and afters.. so STAY TUNED :)

Pefect Husband

Yesterday was mine and the husband's second anniversary but we celebrated over the weekend. My super sweet husband booked us a room at the Sheraton.. The place we stayed the night of our wedding. LOVE HIM!! We decided not to exchange gifts this year because we just bought a house and now we are renovating it so our brand new appliances are our gifts to each other. However, I ended up getting a gift anyway.. I forgot my hang up bag in Virginia with my dress for dinner.. So I got the new Lilly dress I've been eyeing.

I'M BACK!!

It's been a LONG time.. But honestly life was pretty uneventful for while and then it was so chaotic.. And then I just kinda forgot about it.

(oops.. one of the hazards of being a blond)

But we have had a pretty exciting summer..

Some of our best friends got married this year. Sadly my memory card got wet so I lost all of my pictures from the first 2 weddings but here is one with two of my beautiful newly wed friends.

Jay finished with law scool.. #1 in his class. So proud of him!!!

Also, the hubby and I finally closed on our first house. Which was the longest, most painful process EVER. But it's done and the renovation has officially begun!!
