Last Tuesday we had such a fun opportunity to support one of our favorite businesses, Dallas Caramel Company !  We were invited to the open house event for DCC and got to see our friend, Rain!  Not to mention that we got to wrap (and eat) a few caramels! Top Left: Rain and I!  We are standing in front of their company map because Rain is making fast progress getting caramels into every state across the country! Bottom: These caramels are so decadent!  This is her Sea Salt flavor.  It's hard to pick just one flavor but Sea Salt sure is at the top of my list. Top Left: These bins were nearly empty at the time of the photo, but normally they are full of different flavors of caramel!  I can't imagine being around this much deliciousness on a daily basis! Right: At the open house event, DCC allowed everyone to wrap a few caramels to take home so I snapped this pic of Jordan.  I promise that he isn't as creepy as he looks in this...

I'm just getting around to sharing the festivities from last weekend but I have lots of pictures!  Jordan and I had the pleasure of attending our friends wedding and celebrating our 6th anniversary! Our friends, Amanda and Tim, got married in Fort Worth on the TCU campus.  The wedding turned out gorgeous and my dear friend looked so beautiful! Below, we are in front of the Robert Carr steeple!  We arrived Friday afternoon for the rehearsal since I was a bridesmaid so we had a little selfie time! Saturday, the ceremony started at 12:30 so all of the bridesmaids met at Amanda's apartment early in the morning to get ready.  It's funny how you can meet total strangers (the other bridesmaids) and realize that you all have lots in common!  Amanda has a wonderful group of friends so I really enjoyed getting to know those ladies!  They are all hilarious and we each know Amanda from different eras of our lives.  Us girls had fun getting rea...

Hi everyone!  I just realized that I never shared the pictures from our fence staining a few months ago!  I think I was distracted at the time because we had a very busy January.  We got our new fence in December of 2015 and after the wood had a chance to dry out, our contractor came back in January of 2016 to stain.  At first, I was a bit apprehensive about the whole staining process.  It seemed like they would get stain all over our house, cars, and neighbors since they used a sprayer and not a paint brush.  Fortunately, my worry was unnecessary and the staining process went very smooth. Top Left: They began by hand painting the portions of the fence closest to our house. Bottom Left: Using the sprayer, they stained the top, bottom, and corners of the entire fence.  This fence is a whole foot taller than the last so I’m glad that we didn’t have to stain the fence ourselves.  No doubt, we’ll hand stain it again in 4-5 years to ...

Last weekend was really awesome y'all.  Jordan and I had the pleasure of hosting my brother, Scott, and his fiancé, Elizabeth, at our house.  It was both a productive and fun weekend! For Christmas, these two bought us a certificate for a painting class!!  ! I love to give and receive presents that can be used/consumed!  They make brilliant gift ideas! Plus, it gave us the opportunity to plan a weekend to visit with them!  Since we live about 1.5 hours away from each other, it’s difficult to sync up our schedules. S & E got in Friday evening and we stayed up later than I expected.  The time just flew by as we visited and caught up with each other.  After a light breakfast, we spent Saturday morning doing some wedding prep stuff.  Maybe it’s a girl thing or maybe it’s just me, but I adore endlessly chatting about wedding plans.  Big, small, fancy, or casual, I love to talk about the details and celebration of love! I t...

Jordan has been working really hard this week y'all!  Back in the Fall of 2012 (I think) we had some stone work done to update the flower beds in our front yard.  It was super expensive but turned out gorgeous!  Overall, I'm glad we did this exterior remodel because it makes the curb-appeal of our house so much prettier! Anyhoo, over the years, the dirt in and around the stonework has eroded away.  It's nothing detrimental, but we felt that we needed much more soil to freshen up the flower beds.  Not to mention I was a little worried about our foundation being exposed in some areas.  Texas is rough on the foundation of a home. Exposed roots and exposed foundation are just some of the problems were were hoping to solve.  This week, Jordan picked up 2 cubic yards of soil to use around our house.  In girl-terms that is 2 truck loads.  (Thank goodness one of our vehicles is a truck!)     Jordan shoveled all that di...

Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?  FtW is a great town and in my opinion, way better than Dallas.  Jordan and I spent last weekend in the FtW area so that I could attend a bachelorette party!  My dear friend, Amanda, is getting married this year!  I first met Amanda in 7th grade and we were two peas in a pod through middle and high school.  I have sweet memories of us girls chatting and dreaming about our futures during long bus rides with the band to HS football games.  This girl survived adolescence, trigonometry, prom, and so many other events with me!  I'm so thrilled for this new chapter in her life and honored to celebrate with her!  Jordan was such a sweetie and offered to drop me off and pick me up at the end of the evening.  Since we were already in the area and had a few spare minutes, Jordan and I stopped by the church where we got married to take a quick selfie!  The FUMC in downtown FtW is such a gorgeous building ...
