Lights, Doors, and Bean Burritos

Remember the trim I was painting a couples weeks ago?
Well, it finally made it into our bathrooms!


No matter that the man we hired to install the trim left wood shavings all over our garage on one of the many days it was blowing 40 mph winds last week, decided to set my Wallflower upside down on my jewelry chest causing it to completely leak out and strip the varnish off the chest, and went to the restroom in our bathroom subsequently not flushing and leaving the seat up...But the trim looks good and  I guess, technically, that's all we paid him to do.


And then I decided I wanted a new entryway light,
so Matt slaved over installing this beaut for me...

And while we were in the Home Improvement mode, we bought a new storm door...
b/c our house was looking a little out of place without one.
Matt & I LOVE doing house projects together, and it has really given him ownership of the house since it was just mine before we got married.
I love that we've found something that bonds us together so closely
and improves our home!





The dogs took an immediate liking!

And here's a couple bonus pics...
Our friend, Chris' SUPER MONSTER burrito at Freebird's which he did NOT finish...

And my darling Butterfly Baby Hurley Rae...

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of

Piercings, Puppies and Push-Ups

Yes, it has been 2 months since I've written. No, I haven't been living under a rock during that time. I admitted at the beginning of this blogging adventure that I'm not consistent with it and that it overwhelms me.  For all those non-bloggers out there, blogging is challenging. I find that I look at experiences in the light of, "Oh, my readers would like this!" or "What have I learned from this that I can write about?" Obviously, it's much easier to just coast through normal, boring days and even eventful, trying days without a time of retrospection. So, I am coming forth and admitting that I have coasted through the last 2 months, but alas, I am ready to confront life again with an inquisitive mind! For many people, inquisition is natural. For me, Questioning is NOT the norm! I take them as they are, and rarely think of them again. I forget arguments Matt & I have once apologies and forgiveness are traded. Th
