I'm Not Dead Yet!

Just a quick note to say I'm not dead, just very very busy! Here's a brief recap...
  • We moved to Greenville.
  • My mom came up and completely set up my kitchen, guest room, and office.
  • We still have about 10 boxes or so to unpack which I hope to have done by this weekend.
  • My mom and I reupholstered our couch and I scored a great deal on fabric for throw pillows (remind me to post pics and the story about that)
  • I have plans to refinish our entertainment center and coffe table trunk in a high gloss red ;)
  • I am working on a custom invitation suite for an amazingly awesome new client
  • I am making all my outfits for the convention and only have 2 weeks left to finish... will have to share pics of those too!
  • I planned and hosted a movie night going away party for a friend (more cute pics coming for that too)
  • Luke and I hit the one year mark and finalized our official celebratory plans. Plus got some sweet gifts from family and friends including a GPS... WOO! No more getting lost!!! :D
  • And I gifted myself with a Cruz Tablet :)
Ok that's all that came to mind now... I will share more details later. Thanks for hanging in there and bearing with me folks!

Anti-"Green Thumb"

So since we will now have a yard (Did I mention that we are moving into a duplex? So long 2nd floor apartment and 16 immediate neighbors!), Luke mentioned that the Dallas Arboretum was having it's plant sale this weekend. I blew him off because I had no desire to drive down to Dallas to pick up plants.

22 Before 22: #18 Make/Finish our wedding video

Just shy of one year later and I have finally finished our wedding video. Up until Tuesday evening, I hadn't even seen the footage because I had lost my firewire cable. So it was a pleasant surprise to finally see all the fun shots our friend, Mario Guzman, captured of the special day.
