I came to a stall with posting on this blog, but hopefully I will pick up with it again. Honestly, this summer has just been nice and relaxing, not much to post about, just enjoying the weather, the pool, the friends and of course that wonderful husband of mine.
I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but I feel like this year is just flying by. I can’t believe next week will be August already! We have a very busy second half of the year coming up, so I have a feeling the rest of the year will pass by quicker than the first part has. Next week, one of my best friends, Ryan, and I will be going to New York City for a long girls weekend. I am really excited! We are going to play most of it by ear… but we do have the Sex and the City tour booked. That was the important tour to make SURE we had a spot on. We will miss our hubby’s but we never get to see each other anymore since we live in different states, so it will be a blast to hang out with her again! Then a couple weekends after that, we are going to the Avery family reunion in Ohio. (Why do I have a feeling that is going to be a weekend I need to recover from?) Then we get the second part of Mom P.’s b-day gift – a trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park. Google it, it looks pretty awesome. I guess it’s the largest amusement park in the US – with the largest/fastest roller coasters. We are going to spend the day there with Mom and Dad. It will be a blast! I love roller coasters, but I haven’t been on any since high school. Then in September we will be visiting with the Runty’s and the Purcell’s in Houston for Labor Day weekend. Then Mom and Dad P. and some of their friends will be coming down to Atlanta for their “annual Halloween trip”!! haha Then we have the cruise in December. See what I mean about the rest of the year passing by fast too?!?!
We are also eagerly awaiting Mom and Dad M’s move to Atlanta. They were here this last week and I think they are going to move as soon as Dad M. gets the job transfer. It will be so nice to have them here! And my mom and brothers are still on track to move here in the Spring of next year. Really, I think the next year is going to go by fast!! We have so much really good stuff going on, that seems to be when time passes by the quickest.
Anyway, I will end with some pictures of the house – that I can finally update now that we have a working camera!
Just for comparison sake... this was the living room the way it was when the house was up for sale:
And here is the living room now:
Here is the "formal" living room, we still want to add a bar piece. (Not sure why the couch is showing up greenish in the picture, but its a blue couch) Dan was a good sport with the color on the wall:
Dining Room:
Office:
One of the guest bedrooms:
Now, we just have to work on accessorising the house. As you might have noticed, there is not a lot of stuff on the walls. We will be working on that!I am really happy with how the house is looking. It definitley feels like it has Dan's and my touch!
