WHEW!

Y'all guys, ohemgee yall guys, WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! It's ours. I can not begin to tell you the elation that we feel being in a home of our own! It is seriously the greatest. We have been going non-stop since closing, but we are like >< this close to having everything put away, organized, decorated.

Closing day was a little crazy, as the lender had the wrong totals on our 'cash due' so we had to get all that straightened out, but seriously, we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if anything in our life went off without a hitch.

We closed on Friday, June 30th and got everything moved that day, got up at 4am on the 1st and headed to Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma for our annual 'get the hell out of town and be crazy with all my Arkansas peeps' trip. It was wonderful and a much needed escape from reality. We came back to Amarillo on the 5th, and have been wildly unpacking and getting settled since then.

We are madly, madly, MADLY in love with our home. It's quiet and peaceful. When the wind isn't blowing, you can literally hear the electricity buzzing from the pole at the road. We get to look at the skyline of Amarillo every evening and not be in the middle of town. The neighborhood is full of precious people, someone even came by and brought us brownies, and our littles have made friends already. It's perfect. We love it. I could go on for days.



We are grateful/thankful/joyful that we got to work with 29:11 Homes to get our dream home built for us. If you are looking, or thinking about looking to build, you should definitely contact them. And hey! They just revamped their website, and if you click on their name above, it will take you right to it.

I know I really owe you a longer update, but kids, I've still got stuff I need to get settled! More photos to be uploaded so you can take a peek at their work.

Chat Soon!

When you just can't even...

So, I am typically a person who is completely and utterly against putting any size, shape or sort of dirty laundry on social media, which is why many people didn't even know when I was going through a divorce. I'm making an exception today, because frankly, I just can't even. I'm so bewildered, flabbergasted, confused, taken aback (insert EVERY synonym for any of these terms here) at a situation that took place today, so much so, that I JUST CAN'T EVEN. CAN'T. Do you ever have those days where everything goes wrong, or just seems so ridiculous that you are certain that at some point you are going to run into a wall that is painted to look like the sky because you know that you absolutely have to be on something like the Truman Show where everything is happening for someone else's entertainment? No, just me? Huh. Well, the last few months, I keep waiting for someone to jump out and shout "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!" It hasn't happened...

I love Jesus but I curse a little

I love Jesus, but I curse a little.... Okay, y'all guys, that's a damn lie. I curse a LOT, like, ALL THE WORDS . I say them. Probably at least a few times a day, just ask my friend Rachael who can hear every breath I take over our shared wall in our gallery offices. I do love Jesus, that part is true. On Saturdays and Sundays, I curse even more, and I say "Jesus!" Sometimes, I am asking him to intervene. For instance, when the Razorbacks were down 21-zip, Stephen and I were sitting in Chili's getting our pregame on before the Texas Tech kickoff and after checking the Razorback score, I said, "Jesus". In my heart I was begging him to get into those Hogs and help 'em out. I mean, seriously, y'all guys, I thought it was bad then! And you know what else? I heart me some Gus Malzahn. I am on the Gus Bus, every game, rooting for Auburn except when they bend my Razorbacks over and spank the hell out of 'em! Shit. Sometimes, I am praising him...

Nutrisystem Week 2

Day 8 I woke up and jumped on the scale, because, well, a week of prepackaged food should yield some decent results, right? I was down 7.5lbs after one week. I am feeling like that is a win y'all guys! This week changes in the sense, that I will have weekends off beginning this coming weekend through the remainder of the 5 weeks left. What I ate-- I ate all 4 servings of my veggies, and drank my 64 oz of water in addition to the following..... Breakfast: Blueberry Lemon Bar. Holy Mother of all things good and right. This thing was freaking delicious. I would eat this every morning for breakfast, no shit. Lunch: Cheddar Broccoli Rice- This was pretty good, but it was definitely a soup, it didn't thicken up like I expected it to, but it was still tasty. Dinner: Chicken Pasta Parmesan- This was nothing like I expected from the title. It tasted fine, but I'm glad my package only came with one serving of this. Day 9 I woke up counting down to the weekend. I am both e...
