Dirty Girl

Jordan and I had a pretty uneventful weekend.  As boring as that might be for the blog, I really enjoyed the relaxation and mellow vibe!

Saturday we both went for a run around the neighborhood, something we haven't done in a long time...  This week I'm feeling the consequences of that decision in my legs, hips, and knees.  Ouch.

Then we did the usual married couple boring mumbo jumbo (laundry, mow the yard, watch the TTU football game, etc.)

The most exciting thing that happened was laughing at our silly Abby and how DIRTY she got running around the backyard with Jordan.  She had mud caked in between her paws and looked like a hot mess.  It was late in the evening and the last thing I felt like doing was bathing her, so she got a half bath just for her dirty paws. 
 
This is a picture of her paws (post bath).  Her paws remind me a little of the Grinch paws with the long furry fingers.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!


Seriously her fur look like this with the hair going way past her paws!


This is the damage she did to the bathtub.  Gross.  And all that was JUST from her paws. 



I'll have to put a disclaimer on this picture.  The difference in color is mostly the lighting in the room, but Jordan and I are convinced that Abby is a whiter pup after a bath.  This is the evidence to prove that point. (Left: after her "half bath" but still dirty.  Right: Fresh after her sudsy full bath.)


There is not much else happening in our household.  We've been watching Breaking Bad on Netflix together and can't wait to see how the series ends!  I would caution those that might be faint at heart though.  The series is very violent and can give you nightmares.  I get a little chill when I hear the "ding" of a regular bell.  I think there is something in our attic that likes to make noise at night which only compounds the creepiness.  Still, the show is very suspenseful and keeps you guessing.  Plus, the series has very impressive videography and acting. 
 
Hope you all have an amazing week!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

Image
I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
