Thank you Nicole!

May 21, 2009

My sweet friend, Nicole sent me the nicest birthday gift today! My birthday is not until next Saturday. I opened the mail box and there was a package. I love getting mail! It has our initial and wedding date on it…I love it so much! I need to get one of those plate stands to put it on now! Thank you sweet friend I love you bunches!

Where to put it???

Terence took me shopping last night for a new suit to wear tomorrow. I am lucky and have a husband who likes to shop! LOL! We both need works clothes right now though.

I saw another bad accident on the freeway again…these past two weeks I’ve seen the worst wrecks I’ve EVER seen in my life driving to work and back. It just makes me think of how fragile life is and to drive the speed limit and wear my seat belt. Ya’ll be careful out there!

The Wedding and Rehearsal

May 17, 2009

Terence’s youngest sister, Rebecca, got married yesterday to Joel. Joel has 11 or 12 brothers and sisters!!! Can you believe that? The day was rainy, but the wedding was beautiful! They are off on their honeymoon to Tennessee right now! I didn’t take my big camera, so most of the pictures are with my phone…excuse the quality.

Congratulations Rebecca and Joel – We love you!

THE REHEARSAL DINNER

Terence and his Dad
Macaroni Grill…mmmmm…

The happy couple!

(I have to tell you about the night of the rehearsal dinner)

Terence drove to Fort Worth to meet me after I got off work for the rehearsal dinner. We then went to the rehearsal and the dinner and left there about 10:30-11-ish. His car was having trouble so we decided to leave it there in Fort Worth and just take my car. We drove over an hour to get back home and when we got here we realized we had forgotten the garage door opener in his car and the deadbolts were locked! We had to turn around and go ALL the way back to Fort Worth to get the garage door opener!!!! We finally ended up back at home a little after 1 a.m. only to get up and make the drive again the next morning. We picked up Terence’s car and dropped it off at the dealership yesterday and turns out he needs a new transmission, which is going to cost anywhere from $3,000-$3,500 dollars! 🙁 booohoooo!!!! We owe less than that on his car and it makes me so mad! I guess when it rains it poors huh? Anyways-just keep us in your prayers…lots of life changes…lots of stuff going on….Terence starts his new job tomorrow….love you all bunches….Becky

It’s WILD!

May 15, 2009

As promised-Here is my lovely ZEBRA print retainer I got at the dentist today!

I finally feel like we are getting settled and things are coming along! I just feel bad because I’ve fallen behind on my blog reading (which I love so much!)

I hope to catch up this weekend!

Tonight I made chicken spaghetti for dinner and brownies for dessert…so nice to have a kitchen of my own again. I love to bake (and Summer if you are willing) we will have a cake show and tell blog-a-thon pretty soon! Summer is the QUEEN of cakes!

I thought it would be nice to see everyone get their “bake” on!

Decorating style

May 14, 2009

I don’t know what our decorating style is, I just know that it has constantly changed over the years. I used to be into the reds and dark greens. Right now I am really into turquoise blue. I ordered a couple yards of this blue dupioni silk to make some euro shams for our bed. I hope that T’s Mom can help me with that….I know it will be a bit though b/c she is also in the midst of making bridesmaids dresses for the weddings.

Thank you for all your suggestions for the jars! I am sure I will come up with something and I’ll show you what I did. Right now our apartment is bare bones – no decor at all! It’s needs SOMETHING!!!! I know this will all take time and maybe we can do one decoration element at a time. I also need a kitchen rug and a few other things.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SITE TO SHOP FOR HOME DECOR?

Also-this is funny and has NOTHING to do with this post, but last night we drove through Sonic before heading to the grocery store. We pulled into the stall and Terence ordered our food and the person on the intercom asked “Is this for here or to go?” Okay, is there a “for here” AT SONIC??? I mean isn’t it ALL to go food because you are in your car? We looked at each other for a minute and were like…it’s to go I guess right? LOL!

Unpacking

May 14, 2009

Well-it’s coming along….slowly….ugh!

It doesn’t help that I now have a 1 1/2 hour commute to and from work. It’s wiping me out ya’ll! We finally went grocery shopping tonight and have food! Whoopee! Our garage is still full of boxes that were stored for almost two years…that means everything had to be re-washed and cleaned. In the mean time the necessities are all unpacked. Our furniture was delivered today and I’m very happy with it! Hopefully SOON I will catch up on my blogging and get back to everyone elses lives too! LOL!

Okay-now what do I do with all these glass jars I’ve been collecting???

Happy Birthday my love!

May 11, 2009

Happy 28th birthday my love! I hope it’s a good one (even though you are sitting at the apartment and moving!) I am so blessed to have you for my husband! You are an amazing man and I’m so proud of you, I love you more than words! Becky

This picture is from the very FIRST birthday I shared with Terence while we were dating. He turned 19 that day….oh how time has passed and it gets better every year! I love you!
