one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR!

No we haven't been drinking tequila, but we have been working on the floors! haha

All carpet is outta the house and the kitchen is D.O.N.E!!!
Did you read that...IT'S DONE!!! WOOOOOOO-HOOOOO!

WOO FREAKIN HOO!

and it looks beautiful. so beautiful!

Adam created the light fixtures with inspiration from one of our favorite bars...The Esquire, in San Antonio. 
Their hallway was my inspiration for the colors in the living/dining room and kitchen, and the wall paper that they have along the long wall behind the bar was where we came up with our rug inspiration. So nonetheless they helped A LOT!

So before we left for the wedding the kitchen just had a few little things that needed to be done, light fixtures over the island, the faucet, handles on the cabinets and some last minute plumbing. And now here it is kids,

 Before the handles, faucet and lights over the island

and after!

 handles, check. faucet, check! and lights CHECK CHECK!!
(pics taken at two different times of day just to give a couple different views)
Started unpacking the kitchen today too. It is becoming so real! 

We are almost official married grownup parents! ALMOST! 
Probably by the end of the week ;)

Now for the floors that were hiding under that horrific carpet!

BEFORE:

 and somemore unpacking


Annabelle's room with carpet...


 and without the carpet!
 (her first time in her room!! She kept stomping her feet on the wood, it was darling!!)


Isn't it all coming along beautifully!??!!! Oh gosh it is soooo exciting! I can't wait to be living in it!!

Ok stay tuned for more blogging about the wedding, Annabelle and more on the house. We are couch, rug and decor shopping animals right now!!!

If you have any suggestions on where we can find affordable, contemporary/modern style rugs throw a dog a bone over here!!

Love to you all :):):):)

shhhh




She loves Moe Bear so much, mostly he thinks she is ridiculous but let's her do whatever she wants to him because she shares ALL of her food with him.


 Someone is in a big girl car seat now!! and loving it!!

 helping PaPa at lowes
 my loves
 getting amped for Easter!
 Out on a date with mom and aunt Tracy
Some days when the baby is sleeping and the dog won't stop barking at the wind (or the mailman or a child playing in the street) or he nips at a family members ankles that he doesn't recognize, or he won't get out from under my feet and I trip over him 76 times, I want to send him to a family that wants him and would love him and play with him. 

Then I think, but they would have to let him sleep in their bed, and they have to remember that he eats lunch at 1230 while we sit down and have lunch,  the secret is to hand house guests treats before they walk in the door to get him to like them, and if you tell him to love his baby he will run over to the baby and give her kisses and make her laugh. 

 And then I remember that he brings so much joy to our little family.

 I think oh god I can't get rid of him. He is a part of this family. 
A huge part. 
But it doesn't mean I don't come across the thought a couple times a week. 

Moe Bear just needs to get the memo that nap time is the only part of mommy's day to get ANYTHING done...so him being quiet is crucial!

Where's the dog whisperer when ya need him?! 

I love Moe Bear, he's such a spaztastic, loving pup.

Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to the house we go....

Well not to live but just to peek around so you 
 guys can see some progress!!

 Trying to pick colors for the master and we went with...
the lighter blue.

 We'll be having the tub stained white in a month or so.
