It only took 7 years...

... for my husband and I to get an actual bed!

But before I get ahead of myself let me tell you about my bedding.

Well... long story short I have been on the hunt for a while now for bedding that was cute, but also would withstand a little bit of grease and oil every now and then. And as much as I would like a beautiful Anthropologie duvet it just ain’t gonna happen!

So, after many hours of browsing the world wide web I cam across this lovely duvet on Pinterest of all places. And what would you know. It was on sale! So I went ahead and convinced myself to order one. You know, as a birthday present to myself and all :)

On our last visit to OKC we brought back my my new bedroom set that my sweet in laws gave me and this visit we brought back my brand new mattress set! So now I have the Sealy Embody to sleep on every night. I am so excited! The hardest part I have to say was finding sheets that I could live with until I find the perfect ones. Who would have thought I would find them at Ross for less than $25?!

So after 7 years of marriage my husband and I have an actual bed in our room.
Now I just need to move the rest of the furniture in :)

on the road again

Just as quickly as my birthday weekend came around it was gone again. It was time to load Betty up, fill her with gas, grab some snacks and hit the road. I had a wonderful time with family and can’t wait to go back and visit again! But before I went I did manage to grab a quick minute in my father in laws hammock. I really need dome trees in my backyard for one of these things!

Isn’t my in laws backyard BEAUTIFUL!

I am trying to convince Michael that we need to give up city life and move
to the country and become farmers :)

Poor OK needs some rain! They have had so many fires lately.

We are back in TEXAS!

It rained for exactly 37 seconds!

And I’m still waiting for Michael to agree to becoming farmers...

ready. aim. fire.

Saturday morning we got up early to go shoot skeet with my father in law. I say we, I really mean my husband. I really really suck at shooting skeet and I was not about to embarrass myself in front of everyone. So I shot them... with my camera:)

{My sweet husband... on the phone...}

{I would love to have a better picture of these, but people seem to frown upon it
when they are in the middle of shooting :)}

{Yes, he is using a shotgun shell as a toy...}

birthday weekend getaway

This last weekend was Tonjapalooza. It only comes once a year and this year all I wanted to do was go visit my in laws. I know. I know. Let me explain. my in laws are the sweetest people that I know. They are genuinely nice and love their family. I am really, truly blessed to be a part of their family. So if any of you are reading this... I love y’all!

I love having Popovers when we visit!

Can’t you tell? :)

The first fish Tyler has ever caught!
