Our 3 year Anniversary and Christmas shopping!

Christmas is right around the corner so I spent the day shopping with my mom and Stacey...needless to say we got a lot knocked out, and you could barely see Stacey sitting in the back seat:

Later that week, it was mine and Chance's 3 year anniversary and he took me to a really cute mexican restaurant in Fort Worth called Joe T Garcia's. You sit down and get 3 options for dinner: Cheese enchilada's, beef or chicken fajitas. We both got chicken fajitas and the servings were massive. Definitely could've shared! I love you so much babe and I thank God daily  I have you in my life! To a million more years together ;)

Another House Update!

Chance stayed here this weekend and finished painting the entire house!

Mycah also came over and helped me with a bunch of house things!
Here are some pics I had sent my mom of Rylee, our Christmas Tree and our stockings:

We hung some lights above our bed. They are accordion sconces, and are pulled out in one of the pics, but you can't really tell from this pic.

Our room at night:

We hung some pictures. My side of the bed is a pic of a sailboat on Lake Ray Hubbard, since that's where I'm from. His side of the bed is a cool bridge that crosses from TX to OK, since he is from the Red River area. And the middle pic is of where we met (Denton, TX at UNT).

Mycah helped me with the collage wall in the living room. We created it on the dining room floor first so we could get an idea of what it would look like:

And we had extra wood left over so she helped me build this shelf and stain it.
As well as, stain the shelves in the guest bath, study and master toilet area.

I also hated that they painted the window outline on the back door a weird color, so I painted that white.

 

Here is a pic of Chance painting all day :)

Thanks babe, I love you!

Jaxon's Holiday Performance, Mom's Birthday Dinner & Kyler's at Camp!

Jax had his first holiday performance and he was so stinkin' cute!

At times he would be really into it....and at times not so interested. It was really sweet! He clapped and sang and did all the hand symbols to rock baby Jesus to sleep and what not. And he loved to clap after the song was over, like "Oh yeah I just rocked that song!"

After dinner, my mom, dad, Nate, Stacey, Jason, Mandy, Ethan, Jax, Mimi, Granddad, Chance and myself all went out to eat to celebrate Jax's awesome performance and my mom's birthday! My mom is leaving for London in a few days, so we bought her a pedicure and massage because we know her feet will hurt from sightseeing when she returns!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Kyler wasn't there because he was away at his 5th Grade Camp. Mandy was glad he was having fun, but missed him!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy birthday to the best mom in the whole world!!

I love you so much and thank you for everything in life. Wouldn't be where I am today without such a strong woman in my life!

xoxo

Lots of love!

Another update :)

I finally bought some new towels for the master bathroom. We had been using white ones that have now moved to the guest bathroom. 

I don't like our towel holder and have plans to remove that towel bar. I already bought the hooks and shelves for that wall, but I'm waiting until we paint this room. 

My sister stayed the weekend with me and helped me hang the bamboo shades in the dining room and living room!

She also helped me set the study, which is why our table is missing above. It's actually a desk...a really BIG one, and I believe Santa is bringing us a desk but I wanted to see what one room almost finished looked like. P.S. we are also getting a new dining table soon!

We hung the shelves, but I still need to stain them. 

This is the map wall. I am going to buy a new one, because during the move this one got crunched :(

 

And before Stacey left, you could barely walk in our garage, so once she left I got busy. I had to send her this pic. She couldn't believe it!

Update on the house...

Here are just a few pictures to show where we are at in the process...
