Home Sweet Home!



Packing up to leave Cimmeron! You know, after all the cold showers and bats in the walls, it was kinda sad leaving our first newlywed apartment!!

But now we living in a wonderful 2 bedroom apartment and love it too!
Our first kitchen table!! We've always gone into furniture stores and walked around, and imagined what it would be like to make our first buy from an actual furniture store!! NEW! (basically everything else you're about to see has been passed down, from a thrift store, or Craig's list. :)
We love our table though! I'm sitting at it right now, taking a break from working on preparing for my first interview I'm doing with a kid on Monday. Yay! We eat every meal at it, which we really grew to appreciate after eating on the floor and over coffee tables for weeks!!

(click on the picture to see it bigger!)
Our office!! So I had actually been collecting lots of pictures and inspiration for what I wanted our office to look like, and I COULD NOT believe that somehow we played it off (at least in the way that I imagined it!)

We've got his brother's futon (bottom left), a coffee table we got from salvation army last year and painted, a lamp from Walmart, he built the floating shelves on the wall!! I was so proud! We saved so much money that way and really love the way it turned out!! My sisters handed out black desk (which I love and have used for years), my bike, curtains and mirror that were registry gifts from Crate and Barrel, and Logan's keyboard!
I am SO glad that he gets to have this in our apartment now!

Our bedroom! The vanity to the right is from my old bedroom, and we are still in the process of looking for an oval mirror to hang above it. (I'm thinking shabby chip and cream)
kitchen. WE HAVE CABINETS NOW! yay!!
Living room!! the big mirror on the wall was my attempt to be able to watch The 70's Show through the reflection while I cooked dinner, but unfortunately the tv isn't in view through the reflection from the kitchen, and That 70's show comes on at like 10 here. Logan randomly brought it home like our second day here and found it at a thrift store for $30 or something. We just got the coffee table off Craig's list for super cheap last week, and got the rug at Lowes for a steal!


Anyways, that's our home sweet home for the people who have been asking for pictures! lol

Nashville!

So, a lot has happened! Right after Steph's wedding Logan and I took off and drove to Nashville. After 3 rough days of unpacking boxes and what not, we started getting more settled in.

So random!! My second night there we went to Mafiozas, and ran into Jillian Edwards! Out of the whole restaurant, we were definitely seated NEXT to each other! lol

It was SO wonderful cause Logan and I then had an entire week to furnish our apartment and start to feel at home. We kept saying that it was like a complete vacation!! It was WONDERFUL.

That weekend was super eventful for us too! Friday night we went on a double date in Murfreesboro with Logan's masters program mentor, and her fiance. They were so sweet and we had no much fun! Then we  karaoke birthday party for one of the students in Logan's MTSU master program, and Logan and I definitely dueted Feralisious in front of a bunch of people we had just met. It was great.

The next night we went the the San Antonio Taco Company with Mickey!!! Ah, a best friend! It felt SO good to be reunited. Love her.

The next morning we went to church with Jillian Edwards and a bunch of her Baylor friends. We loved the church!!

THEN, the following morning, Monday, I started my new job at the Art Institute and Logan started his first grad school summer course.

My first day of work was... ROUGH. Just like every first day of work (for most jobs), it is information overload and you just feel completely brain dead at the end of the day. When Logan came home I was sitting on the couch in sweats, no make up, glasses, sitting there comatose looking at the TV.. which was off. Funny this was that I had literally gotten home like 4 minutes before him. lol

But everyday there gets better and better!! I am really starting to love it. Praise the Lord!!

So long!!

It was so sweet and I feel so blessed to have been a part of it. I am so happy for my 2 closest friends to be getting married in the same summer!! Marriage is the most wonderful ride and I cant wait to hear about Steph and Jared, and Emily and Matt experiencing it. Em, my primary blog reader, is getting married August 7th and I seriously cannot wait. And let me tell you, neither can she. lol
