Garage Jig

Hi everyone!  Happy Autumn!!!  I'm trying to keep up with posts and I want to share a few pictures from my parent's garage sale a few weekends ago.  Mom and Dad have been cleaning out all sorts of stuff which has inspired Jordan and I to also clean out some of our stuff (cough cough...office, cough).  The collective contributions resulted in a pretty massive garage sale.  Mom and Dad worked really hard to put it together and Jordan and I showed up the night before so we could be an extra pair of eyes.  Pretty much Mom and Dad did all the work and we were moral support.  All in all, the sale turned out pretty well!  We sold a lot of stuff despite sparse foot traffic. Top Right and Left: These are just a few pictures of the whole scene.  The weather was hot but not unbearable .  Mom and Dad had lots of furniture, glassware, tools, antiques, and even a boat for sale!  I pretty much took a box of Mom's stuff and she took a box of my stuff in an even trade.  You never kn

Office Space la Rue

We've been working on our office a lot lately.  In a previous post, you might remember that Jordan and I bought a used treadmill and weight bench.  Well...we've been trying to put our home office back together ever since that purchase.  The two large cabinets were difficult to get into our office, but we managed to get them in place with minimal dinks to the drywall.  While we were overhauling the area, we decided to get rid of the desk that we had.  It's a beautiful, real wood, desk with lots of drawer space, but it just didn't fit Jordan comfortably and it was quite dated.  Jordan has long legs so he could barely fit them under the desk! After searching for a new desk, we decided to buy a metal (manly) piece.  I'm, not sure if this piece is even meant to be a desk but it fits Jordan very well.  We've spent a considerable amount of time organizing and weeding out all the junk that a home-office tends to collect.

Labor Day Lounge

We had such a fantastic Labor Day weekend at the lake!  We always have a wonderful time but it's especially great when we get lots of boating time in!  We can't really call it a "family reunion" because there were too many people missing to make it a reunion.  Still, we have a big family so there are no "small" gatherings.  "Small" at the lake is at least 10 people. I have 20 pictures to share with you so I'd better get right into it. Photo Credit for all three of these pics goes to my cousin, Jennifer!  Thank you for sharing! Left : This is so typical of Sophie.  The boat is crusing along and she is hanging out on the back deck living on the wild side!!!  This is a great picture of her in her element with her ears flapping in the wind.  Love that grumpy pup. Top Right: My second cousin, Libby, convinced my mom to jump off the boat with her.  Mom obliged and luckily, Jennifer snapped this photo! Bottom Right: Jordan and Libby

Nieces, a Nephew, and Horse Racing!

Happy September everyone!  Does anyone feel like the late Summer months have been busy?  Sheesh...it's an ordeal to manage our calendar and the Fall is getting more packed with each passing day.  Never-the-less, I am thrilled that the Dallas area got some rain today and I can smell Autumn in the air!  'Tis the season for football, sweaters, candles, beautiful boots, and backyard fires! I want to share some pics with you guys from our trip to San Antonio the last week in August.  We traveled to see Jordan's side of the family and to celebrate our gorgeous niece and nephew birthdays!   Mady is officially 5 years old and Austin is officially 3!  Between the two of us, Jordan and I have 7 nieces and 1 nephew plus 1 on the way (that's a lot of girls)!  I love being an Aunt, but I must admit that I don't nearly live up to the aunt-spectations that my own Aunts set for me.  I have an abundance of good memories with my Aunts and Uncles! Bare with me...I'm n
