Puppy Haircut Day!

Annabelle got a hair cut today! Everyone there thought she was a puppy, they were so surprised when I said she is actually almost 3 years old. She's just tiny!

But she looks so cute. It's insane. We always forget how cute her eyes are after her hair has grown out...though the little rascal wouldn't leave her bow in long enough for a picture! In fact, they called me to say she was finished, I pick her up 10 minutes later, and she had ALREADY gotten the bow out. Darn Annabelle! It was a cute 4th of July bow too. Would have looked quite nice with her white hair, but nooo. Oh well, she's still pretty darn adorable.




The bow she refused to keep in!

Pretty!



Last night we went to good old Office Depot to get power chords and got caught in another of our massive downpours that have been oh so popular lately.  Only this time, after leaving, we came out to this- the most brilliant rainbow that I have probably ever seen in my life. You could literally see every single color. We took a ton of pictures, though this is the best one that showed up on my phone

I know you can't get the full brilliance of it, but you get the idea!

FINISHED!!!!



It's done!!!  After another insanely long wedding on Saturday and meetings on Sunday, we finally got a chance Sunday evening to finish up the desk. It took us until after 10 to get it all finished, but it was totally worth it and it is FINISHED!! 

I love my hubby. I took a glance at those instructions and boy, there is NO way I could have even attempted that. And he did it all by himself! 

Now we have to go get longer chords and a power strip so we can actually plug everything in, haha, but it is set up and it is so pretty!!

Chinese

Let me start off by saying that I've never really been a big fan of Chinese food. I think it may be all of the seafood involved, but I just would much rather prefer a giant pasta dish over something called sweet and sour any day.

Well, Adam on the other hand, loves the stuff. We got a flier in the mail for a local place near us that had some really cheap lunch specials, and after Adam hinting multiple times that he would like to go, I gave in.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the particular dish I got was really good! Not to mention how ridiculously huge the portions were! Haha, I think Adam was really happy, since that means we will probably be back there more often!

Progress!



We had a busy busy weekend, which for me started early Friday with a quick trip up to Omaha.  My good friend Catie is having a baby and was having her baby shower back on Friday evening, so even though we had a wedding in KC on Saturday, I wasnt going to miss her party.  I headed up and checked into my ridiculously small hotel room and headed to the shower.  It was fun and she got some really cute gifts for baby Finn!

After a quick night, it was a bright and early drive back home to get ready for the wedding, which was actually a good hour away from our place.  It was a ridiculously long day, especially after sitting in the car for that long.  But we did get some fun pictures, so that's always good.

Sunday was the big day though, even though we were really sore from our wedding (dont let anyone tell you photographing a wedding isnt a workout) we really wanted to get the desk set up.  Adam spent close to 8 hours building it, but it is finally done!  We still need to build the hutch, so it isnt fully complete, but the desk itself is done and it is AMAZING!  It looks so pretty and I cant wait to start decorating and finally getting to have a proper workstation.  I am so proud of my handy hubby!

More pictures from the shower and the desk building process soon, but in rearranging everything we somehow managed to knock out our internet...now the cable guy has to make a stop tomorrow!  So for now I am utilizing this amazing Droid, so I get to include the happy one pic!  But hey, one is better than none!  This is of the desk right after we got it set up.  Nothing is organized yet, but doesnt it look nice?!

It's Here!!!



It's here it's here it's here!!!

I'm so excited!

Now if only the hubby would put it together....

Yum, Spicy!



Last week I came across a link on someone's Facebook page for Chik-Fil-Et, a fast food place here in town that has delicious chicken.  Apparently they are coming out with a new spicy chicken sandwich, and to promote it, were giving away free coupons for free sandwiches.  Um, free food? Sign me up!

So Wednesday was our day to try the deliciousness, and we happily showed up and ordered our free sandwiches.  Yum!  It was delicious.  And by delicious, i mean absolutely amazing.  And spicy.  Yum. 

I think I am going to log on to that site again and see if there are any more coupons, I mean, you cant beat free food!

Me

I'm a newlywed with a love for the little things in life- sipping a cappuccino at a local coffee shop in the sunshine, art that seems to make no sense, the smile my husband gets sometimes when I catch him watching me, the cool breeze in the fall when the leaves are changing, my dog when she has somehow manages to wedge herself under my hand and I find myself petting her unknowingly, the smell of freshly cut grass, the sounds of the ocean, taking photos of instances you can never get back. I feel too much about things but may not always say it. I adore my mother. You'll find I take a lot of pictures. La vita รจ bella.
