Rory - 15 weeks!

I haven't posted in a while, but I figured I'd post about our newest addition to the family, Rory. We got Rory in the beginning of December. He's a goldendoodle and so, so sweet, but a little crazy! Well, he's 15 weeks now and has been growing like a weed ;) Here are some pictures of how much he's grown!

Revisiting our 2012 Goals

Happy New Year! 

Wow, January already? I can't believe it. I thought I would take a look back at the goals that we made last January here and see how we did.

2012 House Goals
- Finalize design plan for formal living room
- Find/order furniture, paint, and decorate formal living room
- Tile backsplash in kitchen -- coming soon!?
- Update landscaping in front yard
- Media room layout and design plan
- Build built-in day bed/ window seat in media room  Decided not to do this
- Resod front yard grass
- Add more storage and organization in laundry room
- Finish decorating master bedroom -- almost, but still a work in progress
- Paint and organize garage

Well, we didn't get to all of them, but I think we made some really good progress. Plus, I kind of forgot about this list until just recently ;)

We started decorating and finished the formal living room this year... I really love this room.

We did update the landscaping in the front and back yard by planting lots of new plants, expanding natural areas, and beefing up my rose garden in the back yard. We also sodded the front yard, which was a huge undertaking, but was so worth it.

I finally finished our media room plan as well.

And, we've already started working on this room. Hopefully we will finish it up in the next couple months.

This last year flew by, I know we'll get to the rest of the things on that list eventually, but I'm happy with what we've done. Happy New Year!!

Christmas Decorations

I can't believe it, Christmas has already come and gone! We were super busy over the holidays, so I never had time to post about all of our decorations around the house. Well, here are some pictures of the decorations we had up around the house. 

Merry Christmas!!

It's been a long time since I've posted, but Merry Christmas! I hope you have had a wonderful holiday with your family and friends!

Here's our Christmas Card from this year:

Busy weekend!

We had a pretty crazy weekend! We had a rehearsal and wedding on Friday and Saturday and then we picked up our new puppy yesterday! I have lots of pictures, of course.

Rory!

Stretch!

Taking pictures with a puppy is hard! Shake it out :) 

He will be a medium sized goldendoodle. We are so excited to see how he grows. He has a ton of energy and is getting along with Darcy really well.
