So, let’s play catch up shall we? A lot has been going on and I want to remember these things when I’m an old gray mare….so I shall blog about them 🙂
We closed on our house!!! Whoop! Whoop! It only took almost a year and a half, but it was worth the wait 🙂 The market here in DFW is crazy, so we feel like we won the house jackpot and the best part is Connor still gets to stay at his wonderful schools.
We found a new ice cream place that freezes the ice cream on a hibachi type slab and rolls them up. It was fun to watch and Connor loved it!
My first friend in the new house, my bff Kelly 🙂 (Ignore the plastic EVERYWHERE!)
This was one of the funniest things I read all week. It’s sad but true, our generation has lost all sense of conversationalism. Something I truly enjoy, but am also guilty of being on my phone. If I’m alone, almost always on my phone…it’s a serious crutch.
We’ve got a bunch of remodeling going on at the new house and we are super excited to get moved in. It will be fun to share all the details with everyone as we go through the design process.
Here’s an example of what we are trying to do right now:
And the chaos that ensues:
The entry way already looks a ton better with the faux brick gone. We are getting all new lighting from Savoy House. Lighting makes SUCH a big difference! I can’t wait to show you all the after photos!
Connor had his first swim in the new pool. I posted some videos and things as we go through the remodel process on Facebook and Instagram if you want to follow!
All the wood will be painted white.
The kitchen currently…
The dining room will be a very pretty dark grey from floor to ceiling. The color we chose is called “Peppercorn” from Sherwin Williams. We are changing out all the lighting to fit more to our liking. The former homeowners had a more “Tuscan” style.

The hall bathroom
Anyway, so that’s a bit of what has been going on. We are so thankful that God has provided us with the perfect home after a long year of searching! So so thankful. Connor boy started soccer again and seems to be enjoying the first grade. Except he brought home a book about snakes this week and I can hardly stand to open it! Yuck!
I’ll be attending the Megaphone conference next week and I’ll be sure to document all that fun too! I can’t wait to hang out with all my Arkansas peeps and one of my favorite bloggy friends Michelle 🙂 Yippee!
So, yeah a lot going on and some days I feel like this…but you know what it’s FALL and I’m ready to scarf it up and throw on some boots!
Hang in there…the best is yet to come!
