So Much To Say....


Seriously.... I cant be consistant with anything! Eating healthy, exercising, BLOGGING! I suck. BUT I do have a few updates:

-Since I was last here it has been my birthday, I am now 28 HOLY SHITE! Im old :( and for my birthday Ricky took me on a float trip! Love it down on the North Fork of the White, So Beautiful! It is definitly worth the drive. While we were down there we were pulling up on shore and we found this cute little Chihuahua on the shore. Well these people proceeded to tell us that they found her on the side of the road without tags or anything. With us having already kicked back quite a few by this time ;) we said SURE! So now we have Lucy (70 lb. Pitbull) and Bella (8 lb. Chihuahua) Lord Help us!


-My friend, Kristen had her wedding and it was a great time! It was suppose to rain that day but it ended up being perfect! Not even too hot. She looked GORGEOUS as always! I am so happy for her and Chris!

-We are redecorating the townhome! Man does it need it. Even when I moved in the carpet was gross and stained but now that we've brought the dogs in, it is terrible! So new carpet, new paint, new decor, new beds, repurposing dressers, new crafts for around the home, making headboards and more! SOOOOOO excited we just started on it this weekend and we want to go ahead and get shays room painted and carpetted and get it done with. Well seeing as how the trim and doors are pre-treated/stained... it took ALOT of paint just to do her trim and door. 4 coats all around some places 5 ugh! Thats all we got done though haha but that is ok because this is our first time doing this so we want it to look good. Do it room by room, floor by floor, mistake by mistake :)


 
This is the first sample... a little too dark and blah

 
THIS IS THE ONE!!

This is my living room.
That is the color of the ENTIRE house. It's not bad but looking through all these amazing blogs I want MORE MORE MORE! If you look up to the left you can see the color of all the doors and trim. The actual handle part of the bannister is white so we will retouch that and paint underneath (because the previous owners did not?) keep the spindels wood and paint the bottom white. I'm also thinking a pallett wall or something neat for that high wall up there. What do you think? not sure what color i want to do in this area. But I have alot of ideas for decor and making it all look rustic.the people who owned it before me were eager to sell this place so they half assed their paint job. TERRIBLE. but I think all of this will be good for me and Ricky. Something new, fresh and to keep us busy during the racing off season! 
So exciting my brain is like TOTALLY OVERFLOWING!!!
OH MY GOODNESS! I almost forgot to mention... I got a new job EEK! This Saturday will be my last day at Arvest Bank and Monday I will be starting my new job at Canopy Insurance as a Licensing Coordinator. I am so excited for the new opportunities this will bring me. It's 8-5 Mon-Fri. So finally normal working hours again! I already went shopping for my new job but I definitly am not done! This is a great position for me,  it's actually a career and I feel like I am finally starting my life out!
Well I will keep you all updated on the house and my job  and hopefully get my camera screen fixed so I can take better pictures!
