Bestie Bright Night Out

Ok, another best friend is getting married in a few short weeks. I'm soooooo happy! I was with her when she met her future hubby, so I like to take a little bit of credit for the run-in.  I couldn't be happier to have supported her through their relationship & stand by her side as she marries him.

We took a whole day to dedicate to her & all the awesome girls in her life.  Wedding shower & bachelorette party all in one day was basically like the most fun time I've had in .......ever.

 

This is the gorgeous bride. So many presents. When did we get old enough to be PUMPED about dishes & pot holders?

 

 

Eeeeeeeee, love her. Ok neat.

 

 

I might be biased, but I happen to think this a group of really gorgeous ladies.

 

 

After the shower, all the ladies who were going out for the evening made our way back to the hotel.  The suite was gorgeous. We had alot of snacks. & champagne. & girlie fun.  Getting ready with all your girl friends? Its been too long.  Loved it!

 

 

For the party, the we were supposed to wear our "little bright dress".  Mine was neon. Thank god other people's were too. Hoooorraaayyy for not getting lost in the dark!

 

 

What a fun day of celebrating. Can't wait til the wedding!!~

 

 

XOXO,

Updated House

Oh hey there,
We've just been working away on the house lately!  I took some updated pictures last week at the 3 week mark.  I feel like the pictures don't do it justice! All the work is on the DETAILS which I think is where our home will really be superior to others you might just purchase & move in.  They have taken the time to rip out all the flooring, cabinets, fixtures, base boards, tubs/showers, counters - basically everything! & are rebuilding up.  

So far everything has been removed & now all the walls are drywalled, baseboards installed, windows taped, holes puttied & caulked.  Lots of really tiny details that will make all the difference *just maybe not so much in pictures!

I dont know why I feel like I have to justify that - I guess I just want everyone to know how hard the bf & his dad have been working on things! I dont want it to seem like "oh they are slow" because they are really paying attention to every detail & I feel so lucky & blessed that we will have such an amazing first home in the end. 

 

See that new wall over to the right? That used to be the ugly wooden rails. Now its a wall - Yippeee!!

 

 

View from Living Room looking towards the entryway.  Now we have a cool little half-wall-separator-thing.

 

 

View from Living/Dining room looking towards the Kitchen.  Why yes, I did use a sledge hammer on that wall. I feel proud.  Yay for open feel!

 

 

View from Dining area into the Kitchen.  New cabinets! (currently being primed/painted. Slowly, becuase I'm doing it).

 

 

This is the "new" bathroom. Or just the beginning of a new bathroom. 

 

 

MY CLOSET. Yes, yes, yes - They drywalled in the little doorway to the bathroom & made an extra large space for my clothes/shoes.  All the shelving is built now - need updated pictures soon!

 

 

Here's the scary downstairs bathroom & the vanity that bf built. This rooms needs some love. Like alot of love. Ewwwww. We are working on finishing up the upstairs first & then moving onto this scary little dungeon. 

 

 

So there it is! Our little updated quick view of Myrtle.  Can't wait to move in! We will start painting this week.

 

XOXO,
