Soooo the weekend

was fun.

We had a nice night Saturday and Meg's party was so good! I helped her out a lot with baking and cooking, we did a lot of that..

A highlight for me was faking the beautiful and poetic quotes of Shakespeare, Herman Wouk and Jane Austen and making up a cliche one to put in the mix and tricking people! It was a fun little game Meg put together involving matching quotes on the back of our name hearts...We got lazy at looking up quotes and I just decided I would make one up.

Paul and I had a lovely Valentine dinner at an adorable and dimly lit little bistro in a downtown Austin (Bess).

Here's some pictures...

so cute of Meggy

Kelly made the blog!

This was fun

New Dresses

The thing is,

I definitely want to practice and become a skilled seamstress, but there is something to be said for cute dresses already made!

Especially when they cost 12 dollars like this pink one.

Hmm Orange or Yellow

leaning towards orange at the moment for the kitchen

what do you think?

Soo....

There are still like 32 days until we move in (assuming everything goes to plan) and i have already decorated the entire house in my head...dangit.

This is gonna be a long month I think...

I want that

Yesterday

Subbing was pretty fun, a room full of first graders is a hoot.

We also went by the house again after Paul got off work and it is still looking awesome! So that is exciting...
