Spring Has Sprung...

Wow...no posts for one whole month and now two posts in a week...we are on FIRE! James and I just wanted to update with a few pictures of things we have done to the house in the last few weeks. We have decided that we really love being home owners but it sure is expensive to do all the things you want to do, especially in the spring! We got new grass for the house (which is finally growing, yippy!) and have also done a lot of planting in the yard. Most of the plants are doing really well except for this one that A.J. has decided that he wants to chew on every time he goes outside!

We have had a really great weekend so far...we tried to go and watch our school choir sing at the park yesterday but unfortunately it got cancelled because of the rain. We did get to see a few families from school though so that was nice! After that we came home and got ready to go see Wicked and as soon as we are about to walk out the door we grabbed the tickets and noticed that the company sent us tickets for the wrong date! They sent us some for Thursday night and we can't go that night because James will be on his Raleigh trip so we had to call the company and they are sending us some for next Sunday instead so hopefully that will work out! If anyone wants to buy the Thursday tickets though please let us know because we are going to try and sell them to make some money back!

Guess that's about all for now...here are some pictures that we took of the house and our updates, hope you enjoy them!

James cooking up some burgers on the new grill I got him for our anniversary! Oh Yeah Baby!

A.J. out enjoying some of the new grass seed that is growing! Nice to see him staying away from the plant he loves so much!

My favorite planter that we bought at Lowe's!

The front of our house where we added a few hanging plants!

Here's the back yard...we added some brick edging to make it a flower bed, now I just have to do some weeding back there!

What a Month...

OK so Melissa (who's birthday it was today...yippy!) pointed out tonight that Saturday will be one month since our last post so i'm just hopeing that you all haven't stopped checking our blog! We have been extremely busy the last month between spring break and everything else going on so doing an update just hasn't happened. Speaking of Melissa I just had to steal a picture of her beautiful daughter that they are adopting from Vietnam, Molly. I noticed on her page that this picture got like 12 comments so I thought I would see what it does for us, haha! Isn't she beautiful?? We can't wait until our little "niece" gets here!


Over our break we were able to go to Tennessee for a week and visit some family there. My parents were back in town taking a break from their boating ventures so it was good to see them and catch up on all the stories they have from the high seas! James also enjoyed being able to spend some time with his family and friends over there as well. Hopefully we will get to go back and see everyone soon! Here is a picture of Brady and I hanging out in the kitchen before our Easter feast that we had at my parents house!


Also over the break we did lots of wedding plans and Mom and her friend Sarah helped me to get the invitations pretty much finished up...less then 3 months until the big day so things are getting down to the wire, we are excited though! Below is a picture that we ended up using on our invitations...i'm REALLY happy with the way they turned out!


I guess the final major thing that has happened to us lately is that we celebrated our 2 year anniversary last weekend on April 6th. It seems like we have been together forever and I just thank God all the time for the wonderful man that he has blessed me with...even though we have our moments I just love him like crazy! I went on the morning of the 5th and (with a little help from Brian and Melissa) picked out a grill to give to him for his gift. He seems to be quite happy with it and him and Brian made us all a nice dinner on Monday night for our first taste of the grilling life! He also got me tickets to go see Wicked so we will be off to see that this Saturday night and I am PUMPED about that to say the least!

James definitely enjoyed seeing some friends back home...can you tell?!?!

Well I guess I will close this one out for now and I promise I will try not to wait so long before our next update...I hope everyone is doing well out there and please leave us some comments to let us know that you are still reading!!!
