Our Weekend

Our weekend was great! 

We had a fun date night on Friday, complete with Thai food and a movie. Saturday, we woke up and made a delicious breakfast. We spent the morning relaxing and I made bows for our wreaths. We watched the last Tennessee game of the year (they won!!!) and then we headed to my parents for our big family Thanksgiving. It was so wonderful to spend time with family and eat more yummy food! Sunday we went to church and spent the afternoon watching football!

Back to school and work today, but I only have about 3 weeks until Christmas break! Christmas will be here before we know it! CRAZY!

Well, have a wonderful Monday, and make the most of this fresh start!

Our Home ~ The Family Room

Our family room has also come a long way! 

We had new carpet installed which made the house smell brand new! This room used to be a yellowish brown color, and the fireplace was painted black. I knew it needed to brighten up in a big way, and what better way to do that than with a little paint? 

The fireplace before...

And after!

We also had someone come and put the cords from the TV in the wall. That makes a huge difference too!

Our Home ~ The Kitchen

This is definitely one of my favorite places in our house...

The kitchen!

The day we moved Josh's friends out, me and my sweet friend Kristin spent ALL day cleaning this lovely space. It was disgusting, y'all! The cabinets were a shade of beige from the grease and grime, and now they are white! I don't know what I would do without a Magic Eraser! What a difference. We also were able to have the walls painted, and we got a couple new light fixtures. All of those little things made a huge difference! 

My theme is black and white with accents of green. The sign over my stove is one of my fav things...I bought it a couple years ago with this exact spot in mind! 

 Live well, Laugh often, Love much

 

Our Home ~ Outside

The time was finally upon us...it was time to move into out house! 

After a year of living in a tiny apartment, we were ready for an upgrade! We have so much room compared to what we are used to, and we are loving every square foot. Josh and I are very similar in the fact that we like to get things done and not put things on the back burner. Well, that means that we moved in on Friday and we were settled by Saturday night. We still have some things to hang on the walls, but other than that we are completely moved in! We were tired when it was all said and done, but it was SO worth it! 

Now...

Picture time!

Let's start with outside first.

This was taken a few weeks ago.

After lots of hard work from my amazing husband...
