Plant the Yard.

We’re making some progress on the house! We planted azaleas in the front and strawberries, roses, and a crepe myrtle on the side, so we’re getting closer to our dream yard 🙂 If you’re curious, here’s what the house looked like when we bought it: And here’s what we want it to look like: And…

Meditation

I’ve made a new blog. It’s called Something Styled and it’s supposed to guide me and keep me focused and accountable and all of those other good things. Feel free to check it out. I feel clearer today than I have in a really long time. Last night, after eating too much pizza and not…

Lucky

At work, I’ve been working on what’s known as an “Individual Development Plan,” and I just wanted to give a shoutout to my supervisor and my company because they’re main goal is to get me where I can thrive and enjoy what I do and help me do what I need to do to get…

Home Improvement

Good morning, world! We are now safely within the 3 week mark for the wedding (20 days!) and there’s seemingly little left to do. Now, I’m sure there will be some pleasant surprises day (and week) of, but as of now we’ve got most things pretty well set out. My family came up this past weekend…

Bachelorette for 27 days.

Ah, yes. Look at this fun, wild, and crazy classy group of ladies! Although we’re missing 3 gals here (Brittany, Summar, and Ashley), this still pretty accurately sums up the group of friends that so lovingly took the weekend off and drove to Ft. Worth to celebrate my singledom (and how few days of it…

Afternoon Ponderings

Sometimes, most often when I read or when I become suddenly aware of a moment I’m in, I wonder what it would have been like to have seen the world a hundred years ago. At this point, the Titanic had just sunk, the airplane was just recently adopted by the Army, and Henry Ford was…

Setting the Scene: Refinished Throne

We got it finished, finally!! Our $30 find at an antique store here in town turned into an $80 chair, but look how much nicer it is! Daniel took it apart and stained it for me, then we bought the fabric, scissors, a staple gun, fabric glue and studs at Hobby Lobby. A few extra…

Stance Rant

Today, it was brought to my attention that there was a bill floating around Texas A&M arguing that students should have the option to “opt out” of paying certain students fees which are allocated for the GLBT Center, due to the center offending their religion. Although eventually vetoed by the Student Body President (thankfully!) I’m embarrassed…

Setting the Scene pt. 1

The hunt continues! This morning, Daniel secured the location of an amazing (albiet small) ornately decorated chair on Craigslist and at lunch, he decided to take me look for other trinkets for my tea party. Then we found this awesome throne chair ^ Now, he may need a little work (aka stain and some reupholstery)…
