Summer in Sleeves.

Does anyone else work in an office that has the environmental stability of a menopausal woman? Ok. I just had to get that off my chest...and make an excuse for being so covered mid-summer.

Last night Clint and I took a leisurely stroll around the rundown little mall in our area where I drooled... not over the amazing store selection but the endless photo shoot possibilities. I don't know what it is about abandoned loading docks and an empty parking lot that speaks to me, but they do...in their own little come-take-pictures language. Unfortunately Clint is not fluent in this vernacular and it's not offered in Rosetta Stone. Which means more indoor pictures. But I contend...better inside than no pictures at all. And in my defense, it's a sneaky way to introduce you to a part of our new house :).

Necklace:Charlotte Russe | Top:Forever21 | Vest:Old Navy | Jeans:Bullhead | Sandals:American Eagle | Forehead Wrinkles:Genetics

Even though the mall had closed its Chick-fil-a (tear), Roger's Jewelers is still up and running, so we stopped in and I had my ring cleaned. Due to the outrageous amount of light reflecting off my bling I think I may make this a monthly habit.

Anniversary Surprises

Diamond earrings and dinner at The Melting Pot. Wow.

Dress:Moda | Wedges:Steve Madden

We ate to the point of discomfort...and then they brought out dessert...so of course we polished off the entire plate. No shame after just 1 year.

One Year

It's hard to believe.

The first of many :) I love you Clint.

The death of a Tennis ball

Along with a new house we acquired a dog. He will force me to learn patience, mercy and not placing stock in my earthly dwelling place :)

Meet Trotter.

 For one whole week this tennis ball never left his sight...

 ...or his mouth...

 ...except for a good game of fetch...

 ...but then it broke....

...and was buried in the trash with Kroger bags, a breadstick box and some cherry tomatoes that fell on the floor...

Trotter dog was so sad...

...but then he remembered he had two crazy cool humans to love on instead...

...even if they don't share their Doritos....

The End!

Bad hair day(s) due to massive amounts of rain = a focus on details

I woke this morning to constant clicking from an unknown source. Disoriented at the early hour I determined that my outlet was causing the noise. As I leaned over to get a closer look the sound stopped.   Leaned back, it began again. Tired and frustrated I gave it one more attempt, and that's when it hit me...quite literally. Water, dripping from the ceiling of our apartment, pooling on the carpeted floor. Typically this would evoke feelings of greater irritation, however we begin the move to our HOUSE in just 5 days so a sense of relief took over as I grabbed a bucket and towel. The darkening watermark on the ceiling the size of a small bed has me mildly concerned, but again, 5 days.

As the fourth picture suggests, we are in the midst of packing. If you're in to that kind of thing, PLEASE COME VISIT! I promise to serve you on my finest Chinet, and deliver the mouth watering likes of Rice-a-roni, goldfish and pickles. I won't make you clean, unless of course you also enjoy that. In which case, I will allow it.


ps. I also have chocolate milk.

BFF?

My best friends have always been the ones that can pick right back up after a long absence...I'm counting on you here.

Since we last talked....softball ended...I've started to pack up the apartment...there has been an insane amount of rain...and a lot more that I'll think of as we keep talking. Here are a few of the fun times capture on camera.

Benihana with Husband's family. Love the food, hate how I leave smelling like it.

A little Mother's Day surprise :)

That's it for now. Hopefully some fun outfit shots soon. If the weather decides to cooperate! 

So what's new with you?! 

Home sweet...

HOLY COW WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!
