About Me

We were married on June 18th surrounded by all our friends and family. We live in Oklahoma and love it. It is beginning to feel more and more like home. I love the trees, our church and the people! Everyone has made us feel so welcome and a part of this community. We both have great jobs, that we love going to every day! Life is good, God is good!!

today...

(Heads up ... I'm going to ramble. But I'll throw in some pictures for entertainment... I apologize... its been that kinda day!)


  • We have officially taken over the house! It is full of our stuff (yes I actually doubted that we could fill this place with the things we have... but it is FULL!)
  • I am currently eating broccoli and cheese soup at home for lunch. I have a cold and it makes me feel better. It also makes me miss my best friend, who quit our relationship about this time last year. I'm working on a post about that, but until then, I'll eat my soup and enjoy the sweet memories we had together. 
  • We have spiders... nasty mean ugly spiders. The kinds known as 'brown recluse'! They are EVIL!! I hate their stinking guts and I want them all to DIE! Apparently ALL houses in the Ville have them... they just usually arn't as well seen as ours have been. We are getting this under control. 
  • Our sewer backed up 6 days after signing our contract! Our hot water heater is also going out. And did I mention we have spiders? But I love this house!! It is amazing... really... I'm not being sarcastic! 
  • I'm drinking water like I'm addicted to it. Seriously... I could float the Titanic with the water I have drank in the past two days. More water means more trips to the bathroom. Therefor on my 3rd trip last night, I became very grateful that we have a bathroom in our bedroom! 
  • My father in law comes this weekend to help with some more 'home repairs'... I love that term... 'home repairs' - it means we can actually... REPAIR something!! 


This is the hubs and I with our Realtor and the previous homeowner. He is a precious precious man. But he likes to say 'damn' and 'hell' a lot. And even though I can be overheard muttering such profanities at times... it shocks me when I hear it from him...


Andrew and some friends painted the ceilings for us... yes... that is WHITE up there... I lost that fight, but it looks lovely and I'm content with it. 


Andrew's family came to help us. His sister made a trip all the way from St. Andrews to help us move in, wasnt that sweet of her. Alright... she didnt come just to help... but she did make us one of her many stops! 

Our first lunch at the new house was my 'specialty' sandwiches and fruit!! It was quite enjoyable!

The weekend we were moving into the house... we dog sat our favorite boxers. They were so well behaved and got lots of extra special treatment that our stinky hound dogs didnt get. I love these dogs!!

I broke the first dish in our new house... it was a big bummer.These are my favorite glasses... oh well. It had to happen sometime.

July 4th I made sour dough pancakes and they were YUMMMY! (that reminds me... I gotta feed my dough!!) Andrew has this unique ability to get the most awkward pictures of me!

This is Aiden, you can read all about him here.

Around 10 am on the 4th we decided to have some of our favorite friends over for dinner... note that these are just SOME of our favorites, if we would have invited everyone... there would have been NO room.


These guys crack me up. We have lots of fun when we are with them. Their little girl turns 1 this weekend and is my BFF!

Ryan and Andrew work together and his wife is going to be teaching school this fall. Their little guy Aiden is 6 months old and so much fun!!

I was taking the pictures so Andrew decided he needed one with my food and his...

Josh and Ann from our small group!! These guys are so much fun! Last winter they came and rescued us from our house in the midst of being snowed in.

Me and my love! This guy makes my day!!



Us with our realtor in front of the house with the SOLD sign.

My dessert for the past 2 nights chocolate banana shake!! DELISH!

Andrew's dessert - a little frozen yogurt COVERED in fruit. I was MUCH happier than he was after dessert time!

OH Watermelon!! This is what Summer is all about...

Our House...

So mom and dad will be here in about an hour (maybe less by the time this is done). They are coming to see Andrew and I for the first time sense the wedding. We are very excited, but, if you know me... you know what this week has been like. I have been stressed planning things for us to do, cleaning the house, wondering how things will go and what they will think. Well, to document this event I decided to take pictures of the house ... the whole house... clean... picked up... organized (sorta) ... unpacked (mostly).
Here they are...

The front of our house... quite charming... don't you think?


The front porch!! One of my favorite things!

Living room from the front door... I LOVE the blue walls.

Living room from the other corner.

Kitchen... I know what you are thinking... ALL that storage! NOT... looks are very deceiving...


The kitchen sink... looking into the dinning room.
The rest of the kitchen.
Into the guest bath... yes... it is pink. No... we did not pick out the colors.
Laundry room... I'm so thankful for this!!
Back yard... getting a fence this weekend.
Spider infested storage building... not being used for my stuff...
Hallway upstairs... different blue than downstairs.

Bathroom... green floor, green walls... different greens... again didn't pick the colors...
Shower!!
There is this closet behind the tub that is currently holding most of my stuff from my classroom in Midland. The rest stacks nicely in front of the door.
Guest room :) Come see us... we have an extra bed.. and a Teddy Bear if you need something to snuggle!
Our bed... my in-laws found our bed and my mom made the pillows. They all make me very happy!
Reading corner... other wise known as Buster's hang out!
I love this space... I don't ever use it...
My dresser.... never ever this cleaned off.
Andrew's dresser... never ever this cleaned off...
Well that is it! Our little house. I love it. It has been a good house so far... full of lots of memories. It will be a great house to laugh about down the road!! Come visit us... it gives me a good reason to cook up something yummy!!
