the last two months...

have been quite eventful to say the least. I cannot believe how fast time has flown by. So many fun things have happened while I have been away, so I wanted to take a few minutes to share them with you.

My Brother-in-law got engaged to his girlfriend the week before Thanksgiving. They are getting married in July, and we are so excited for them. I love Hanna and I am so excited that she will be apart of the family, although I have already thought of her as my sister for a long time. I am looking forward to helping her plan her wedding!

Isn't she so beautiful??

A couple of weeks ago Andrew and I had a Christmas shower for them at our house. It was so much fun. I have to give a shout out to the hubby...he really did a great job with helping me pull it off. Thanks love!

They got so many cute Christmas decorations. Too bad she will have to wait a whole year to use them.

We also got our tree. It was a special treat because Andrew has never had a real tree before so we had a blast picking it out and putting it up.

Here's our first tree. It's a pretty modest tree...we don't have too many ornaments yet and the picture is kind of blurry. Sorry!

This past weekend we spent the night at Opryland Hotel in Nashville. It was so beautiful and we had a blast. Look at how every inch of these trees are wrapped in lights. They start decorating in July. Isn't that so crazy?

We are so excited about first Married Christmas!It is such a special year for us and I hope we will always look back at it and smile! We hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas as well!

happy

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween this weekend. I don't about you but at our house we are more focused on Auburn football then Halloween. War Eagle! I do hope we get some trick-or-treaters this weekend though. It will be our first ones at our house! :)

This weekend will also be filled with a little bit of shopping and painting. A friend gave me some kitchen chairs for free and I cannot wait to show you their transformation. Hopefully they turn out like I think they will! We will also be making room for a new bed! That's right we are finally getting a King bed, and I could not be more excited. Not only will our house look a little bit more complete but it brings me so much joy to know that from now own I can sleep stretched out all night long!

Happy Fall!

I am so excited that fall is finally here, even though it is 96 degrees outside today. Hopefully it cools down around here soon.

I have been doing a little bit of fall decorating this week and slowly but surely it is coming along.

I took a picture of our chest in the den because I just love the pumpkins.

my favorite is the tall skinny white pumpkin on the left.

In other news hubby started his new job this week! YAY! I forgot to take a picture of him on his first day and his second day so this is him on the third day of his new job. He is so cute, I love seeing him all dressed up everyday. He on the other hand does not like it.

Also random picture but I thought it was neat. I saw this rainbow yesterday on the way home from work. I am still amazed that my god is so big that he can make rainbows! They really are such a beautiful thing.

the story of my life lately...

Andrew is constantly telling me that I go to bed too early. Is 10:30 really that early? I think the heat is making me tired! Yesterday we had a heat index of 111 degrees.

I forgot where I found this cute sign

flowers

I said I was back on my last post and that was almost two months ago.. oopsies. :) I guess I have been enjoying my new husband and not blogging. I have missed it though. I have two easy and cheap projects for your house to share as well as few other fun things! Hopefully I will get around to that before another two months passes. Life moves too fast.

Today, I am I am inspired by these pretty flowers. I love putting pretty flowers in different vases around our house! I love them even more when they are free!

I know these are not in a vase but I could not pass this one up! too pretty. Hope my back yard looks like that one day!

This one reminds me of my front porch only my pot is empty because we killed the flowers that was in it. Maybe fall will bring us better luck!

Aren't they so pretty! I love the way fresh flowers can brighten your day.

Happy Thursday!

I'm baaaaaaack
