Everything and the kitchen sink

-
Today kimmel and i made the trek to IKEA to get my kitchen sink! It's a pretty big deal! We drove out there before christmas only to be told that they 'over sold' that particular sink and didn't have any more in stock.  They told us to check on line and come back. Since we couldn't order it on line, i kept checking and yesterday they had 3 in stock. Today 14! Found the kitchen area and asked a nice lady to help me acquire this sink! 5 mins later we were paid in full and heading back out the maze to pick up my sink!!


Its a smaller apron sink or farm house sink. Perfect for our new lil kitchen! I am super excited and a great way to start the year! After the crazy month we just had this was a sigh of relief to get into the garage!

This last month should have been called the roller coaster month. With every step we took forward there was something that would knock us down. Then it would get resolved and we would take a step forward in the process. All this was happening during two of the biggest holidays of the year AND we had a baby.

Thankfully we have crossed all the T's and dotted all the I's so we should break ground pretty soon! That is something to be excited about!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics

week not planned

-
This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas
