goings and comings

Wow, it has been too long!  I don’t even know where to begin.  I guess to start, I will sum up my summer! Thomas and I went on a fabulous vacation to the beach!  It was amazing weather, the surf was beautiful.  Most importantly, I did not get sunburned!  We played plenty of volleyball, read a couple of books… so relaxing.  I love this family tradition and cannot wait to go back next year!

Me and Thomas

After vacation, we headed to Amarillo to see my new niece! Libby Kate is absolutely beautiful and looks exactly like my brother.  That brings the count up to 5 little ones in the family under the age of 5 – they are all precious children that I just cannot get enough of.

The week before Amarillo, however, Thomas closed on his very first house! It’s in Cedar Park and perfect. I love it. Currently, we have been spending our weekends painting, installing, and demolishing, though not in that particular order. My favorite room right now is the kitchen – it is absolutely beautiful. When it’s officially finished, I will be sure to take a bunch of pictures. Though I can’t speak for him, I’m going to say that Thomas’ fave room is the burnt orange office. Just a little obnoxious. We couldn’t help it :).

Yea… so my weekends are fabulous but my weeks are just as great! I have been keeping so busy up at work. The project I’m working on just moved into the design phase which means so much more detailed work and rework. It’s so interesting though and it keeps me busy and my days very full. I am just so very blessed to have such an amazing job that I really enjoy (you know, minus the being located in Houston… but that’s a different story).

Sadie is begging for her walk – oh she is doing wonderful too! – so I better wrap this up for now. 

XOXO—
