    1 Year Update

    So here we are  exactly 1 year after purchasing my home. This entire blog is geared around transitioning this Texas girl to a new life in Oklahoma. It’s crazy to me that this epic year of life changing has come and gone, much like I had assumed it would. What a huge and amazing year it…

  • The Good Life

    The Good Life

    Holy crap. I’m getting married this weekend. Repeatedly people have asked me if I’m “nervous” or “excited” yet. At first, these kind of bugged me because 1) for some reason I resent girly excitement over such matters and 2) I’m so ridiculously sure that this is right that I have no worries. But as we…

  • Plant the Yard.

    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…

  • On Fire!

    On Fire!

    Feeling pretty relaxed. The invites are out, my Citrix Cert exam is over (and passed), and all that’s left is to coast on through the wedding.. Right? So I’ve been struggling lately with this urge to do something big. And I don’t just mean change the world, become a CEO, or mother 10 children, although those are…

  • I’ve missed you.

    Okay, Diary. To say I’ve been scarce lately would be the understatement of the century, I realize. And to say that this was out of my control would be a complete and utter lie. In fact, on more than one occasion I’ve thought to myself, “Self, we should write in our blog,” and then, in…

  • What is the world coming to?

    An end, that’s what. Today was an interesting day for the news. First, there was a story about a homeless vampire. Then, I found out there was life discovered on Mercury. Then, they discovered unicorn caves in Korea. And now, there’s a deadly super-bug that’s basically going to kill us all. I need to stay…

  • Energy

    So let’s talk about high-energy versus low energy people. Whether this is a real concept or not, I have no idea, but it seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life so I thought I’d tap on it for a moment. Now, “energy” here I believe doesn’t refer to actual energy levels, although I…

  • House Photos! Living Room.

    So the house is really starting to come along! I promised I would post pictures but I haven’t gotten around to it, so tonight, I decided to start with my den! So far it’s my college furniture and instruments, but it’ll get there with time! More rooms to come!

  • Fall is here! and we’re hitting it hard. :)

    Alright, so there’s been a lot going on in my life as of late, and a lot of things have been put on the back-burner. One major thing? My wedding. So, lately, things have been slowing down and all of a sudden I’m a wedding fanatic. “What is that?” you ask? That’s someone who spends…

  • This is Important. It’s all Important.

    When I was a teenager, I kept a blog on Xanga (along with just about everyone I knew). It was kaleigh_the_fallen_leaf. Unbeknownst to most, I had a couple of other blogs as well for my more “personal” thoughts. This is hilarious in retrospect because as I read all the things we wrote when we thought…
