Ahhh...where to begin...

With summer winding down, it is almost time to head back to school. Today Charles and I went to take the heavy stuff off my back counter, so this is what my room looks like now. I still have a lot to do. :(

Charles' Project

Check out our awesome dresser that Charles refinished. It looks great..he did a fantastic job. His next project is finishing the chairs to our kitchen table.

1 Year Anniversary

Yesterday Charles and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. It is hard to believe it has gone by so fast. Each day our love grows more and more. I am so blessed to have found such a wonderful man.

We had dinner at Fogo De Chao. It was my first time there. We got there and we were the only people at the restaurant. Only because we got there right as it opened. The food was yummy and boy was there a lot of it. We even got a little creme brulee treat. It was fantastic.

After that we came home and had some champagne and ate the top layer of our wedding cake. Well, we didn't actually eat it, but we took a bite and it was gross. So we threw it away. It tasted much better a year ago.

We also watched our wedding video and had some laughs. All in all, it was a great day! I can't wait till our 2nd anniversary.

4th of July

For the 4th we decide to venture to Dallas to visit our friends Jayne and Kyle and Charsy and John. We made the drive to Big 'D' on Thursday after I had a teacher workshop and Charles took a certification test. It was a long drive, but it was fun to see everyone.

Here's a pic of our new fav place...BJ's. We ate there once with Jayne and Kyle and the next day with John and Charsy.

Here's our new pal Alamo. He didn't like the fireworks.


And yes we saw fireworks. I discovered while trying to take a good picture of them...that I need a new camera bad!


No trip is complete with out some friendly board games.


Here's a little sample of our work. The top is watermelon and under the line...

What's your guess?

Texas Reds Festival

Charles and I went to the Texas Reds Festival in Bryan. It was a lot of fun. We got to taste various wines from all around Texas and we got to eat a delicious steak. Did I mention we also got to see Robert Earl Keen?

We had a couple of bumps along the way...a lost steak dinner ticket, me feeling sick (eventually I felt better, thank goodness), and REK coming out 45 minutes late. All in all, it was a good time. I just love listening to REK, it always takes me back to my old college days. Ah, memories... We even got to see some random and very drunk guy fall into some bushes, not once, but twice.

Another Turtle

This post is a little late...


On June 20th, Charles and I were getting ready for the Texas Reds Festival and he went outside and found this...


Yep, it's another turtle, but this time he is in our driveway. It wasn't long ago that we saved another one. Well, after careful observation we decided that this was not the same turtle and we decided to take it back to the lake...even the dogs were a little curious.

I like turtles!
