The last week in pictures

Since the next week and a half is going to be ridiculously busy, I am going to make this post short and sweet. Nothing has broken since my last post, so yay for that! We've replaced the thermostat that was melting (long story there about what was wrong...), ordered a new garage door opener, hung a bunch of pictures in the house, and wired a sub-woofer into the surround sound that Travis got from his boss at work. I say "we"....mostly Travis has done all of that, with my moral support :)

Next weekend is Alisha's lingerie shower, so I've been trying to get the house in order and do last minute planning. Should be a lot of fun! Next week is also Matt and Maggie's wedding, so it's going to be a crazy time. If I survive until Sunday the 5th (which also happens to be Travis's birthday and another shower for Alisha), then I'll be doing good :)

So, here are some pictures of what we've been up to in the past week or so:

Friday night, we went to a high school graduation party for Aubrey and several others from Gooch Lane...

Yay Aubrey! So excited for you :)

 Saturday, we spent most of the day hanging pictures around the house. So far, the dining room, kitchen, and guest bathroom are pretty much completed. We've still got the other rooms to go...

My bargain find from Kirkland's...paid about $37 and it was originally $129.99!!

It's starting to look like a real dining room!

"Knick-knack" shelf and mirror

Better shot of the mirror...which goes with the china cabinet perfectly!

"Coffee" pictures that I got for about $6 each at Kirkland's!

ignore the messy counter :)

Sunday night, we ate supper with some of our long lost friends at Ruby Tuesday :)

The almost married couple

The 2+ years married couple

The goofy couple

The normal couple :)

We had a great time! Then, Monday it was time to celebrate Emily's high school graduation!!!

Walking across the stage...in high heels! :)

Congratulations, Emily!!!

The whole fam

Somewhere in the middle that busy day, we also found time to buy a table at Encore Furniture to go in our foyer. I am so excited about it...it was in great condition, so I think we got a great deal! 
We've still got to hang a mirror above the table, so I may rearrange the stuff on it, but this is the way I put it for now...

Yay!!!

So excited!

Well, I think that's about it for this update. Once we get the rest of the artwork hung on the walls, I'll post more pictures. Eventually, we'll hang curtains too, but that may be a while :)

Hope you are having a great week!
