Ummm... no.


 

Happy day!!

Two years ago today was the happiest day of my life...







So today is Tim and I's two year anniversary!  (Is that right?  "Tim and I's?  Seems wrong... "mine and Tim's?" Definitely not "me and Tim's - although I think that's what I say in conversation!)

It feels funny to me to celebrate a two year anniversary when we've been together for nearly six... makes it seem like, "Awww... just two years?  How sweet.  Young love."  I feel much more like an old married couple (in a good way) than "awww... just two years?"  We've been together so long that I kind of can't remember life before him.  I can't imagine my life without Tim in it - maybe because it's not just mine anymore - it's definitely ours.  And life is good!  Okay, I think I'll stop there on the sappiness - I could go on a lot more!  :)

As for anniversary plans, tonight we're going out to dinner at Hibiscus - can't wait!!  I've never been there, but it looks great and has amazing reviews.  Should be fun!! 


Annnnnd I am the proud aunt of the newest addition to our family - baby Ireland Colby Logsdon!  My brother Trae and his wife Julie just had their third baby this morning at 10:08!  He's sending me a picture, so as soon as I get it, I'll update this post.  Can't wait to meet her!!

Update: Here she is!!  6lbs, 10oz and 18" long.  :)

Chairs, Chairs, Chairs!

Tim and I have been on an ongoing quest to find an accent chair or two for our living room.  It is SO hard and frustrating!!  Either I like something and he doesn't (or vice versa), or it's a cute chair/ugly pattern (or vice versa), cute but too big/small, wrong colors, not enough color, TOO much color... you get the idea. 

So today we went out for breakfast at a little local place in Deep Ellum (such a cool area - especially at 11am when it's not the least bit scary!), and then we hit the shops.  We shopped and shopped (til I got sick and we had to go home - lame!), and then I've been shopping all evening online. 

Here are a few contenders...

We would put a red throw pillow on it to give it a little more color, but I love the birdies!

This would also have a colored throw pillow so it's less... brown.
This one is at a build-your-own kind of place, so it would have different fabric
Another one that could use a bright pillow, but loooove the pattern!
Basic brown, but it's got good bones :)
This one's cute, but the colors might be a little blah...

So, there you have it.  Quite a dilemma!  Especially since I'm not sure that I completely love even any of these, and I'm pretty sure Tim won't like most of them. 

Thoughts??

My Summer in Pictures

Wowww - is it really almost August??  How did that happen?  Between Hawaii, the new condo, the new kitty, and every little trip/get together/lunch date/lazy day in between, this summer has flown by.  Even though half our stuff (and our internet and cable) were still at the apartment, we never stayed another day there after we got Lucy and brought her home to the condo.  That being said, I haven't had the time or energy to go up to Borders/Starbucks/Panera etc to update the ol' blog.  BUT!  I am back!  Interwebs have arrived at the condo!!  Since there has been so much that has happened since my last post, I think I'll udpate via photos... lots of them...


1) Andrea's wedding in Maui:
My best friend!!  At Bubba Gumps right after arriving in Maui
The soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Hurst at the welcome happy hour
Parasailing - I think we have the documentation of this memory covered.  :)
Absolutely gorgeous.
The beautiful bride and me
Mr. and Mrs. Hurst!

Pretty favor boxes - LOVED her colors!
Gorgeous leis we got to wear

Love these girls :) 
 Two peas in a pod!
Luau!
Our leis smelled soooo good!  Ready to go back to Hawaii!!

2) Lucy!!! 

Oh my GOSH we are so in love with this kitty.  She is the perfect cat, seriously.  She loves to snuggle and cuddle with us, sleeps with us, follows us everywhere, LOVES to play, will even play fetch with "Fluffy Toy" (its official name)... she.  is.  perfect.  I think I might be obsessed with her. These photos are in chronological order from when we first got her... she is about 4 months old now.  When we got her, she weighed 2 and a half pounds - took her to the vet today and she is (almost) a whopping 4 pounds!  :) 

Disclaimer:
a) I take WAY too many pictures of Lucy
b) I am fully aware that I am also posting way too many pictures of Lucy
c) I cannot stop
d) Don't judge me. 















Whew!  This one I actually took of her just now.  :)
3) Condo!  
Most of these are work-in-progress pictures... I haven't taken any since we've moved the furniture in, because we're still not quite settled, but I will post them when we are!







Has nothing to do with our renovations, but I had to throw in my awesomely organized closet.  :)
DONE!!!  That's my summer in a nutshell.  Hawaii, Lucy, Condo. :)  Maybe I'll post random summer pics in the next post and give a quick rundown of how the rest of the summer has gone.  It has been a great summer... the perfect mix between productive, social, and absolutely lazy. 

Hope all of you out there in blog world have been having a wonderful summer as well!  I don't know about you, but as much as I love this time of year, I am ready for a break from this incredible heat!!  I'm off to a girls night, then Andrea's at-home wedding reception in OKC (so more pictures to come I'm sure!).  Enjoy your weekend!
