Hi!

Well hello faithful follwers... where have yal been?

Kidding. Seriously, I've missed you. Taking a break felt good but I missed this place and I hope to stay for a while. To update you on my life I thought I would use instagram/phone photos. I stepped into this century and finally bought an iphone.

Enjoy the randomness that is this post.

Made progress in the master.

Grandmother's ornaments. 

Hosted our small group Christmas party. Meet my B'ham family :)

Lame Christmas card photo. Less exciting with no kidos to show off.

Cut your toe nails Ross, geez.

Just call us the Griswold's. 

Hot coco stirs. Mmm.

Our first big tree. 8 feet of happiness. 

Favorite Christmas present.

Loved it.

Lots of this.

Random hot air balloon.

Sweet rekindling of old friends. 

Yes, that's a dead dear. Yes, we followed this all the way back to Bama. RTR.

Celebrating the end of 2011 on Lake Martin.

Enjoying 70 degree in January.

i'm back!

crazy enough, we've been in our house for almost 3 months! life has been moving a mile a minute. between moving in, our vacay to hawaii, the world's longest yard sale, friends having babies, family visits and garage sales of my own; we have a lot of catching up to do!

i'd love to say the house is completely decorated and settled but its not, and that's ok with me. i've learned from past mistakes to take my time when decorating. fall in love with each new piece. don't settle for trendy. vintage is always better than new. without further ado here is our little pad in it's current state. Beware of picture overload...

less than a month to go!! can't believe how fast the last 4 months have flown by! the only things that seem left to do is install fixtures, appliances and carpet, and paint. 

we now have our very first tree! still waiting on paint for garage doors and windows.

love my kitchen. maybe not the paint.

appliances are in! as well as the transoms.
