puppy love!

so I've become one of those people that are obsessed with their dog. I never thought i'd be one, I never understood. But since I've gotten my adorable pup, I just absolutely love him! We did change his name, it's Tyson now. We think it fits him well and was similar to his old name! He's just so darn cute. I was overwhelmed with him the first couple days but we have gotten along a lot better now! He's learning a lot and I'm learning a lot about him!

so I must say that the beach is only 19 days away! I'm so ready for a vacation! We have had a lot of exciting things happening in our life lately (engagement, new house, new pup) and it's been a lot to handle so it will be nice to take a break from everything and enjoy the beach and being with family!

I'm pretty pumped about this weekend! It's the first UVA football game and am excited to tailgate with friends! Go Hoos :)

Alright just a quick update for now, until next time!

long overdue!

ok so I promised I would update with some pictures of the house! I'm just so happy to have my internet back..it's been rough without! Really, it hasn't been that bad..it's helped to break my addiction to facebook and other mindless websites. but none the less, glad I can use the internet!

So because I have severe OCD, I wanted my house decorated the day we moved in. Needless to say, that didn't happen. But I have managed to do a few things! So here's a picture of the living room (excuse the quality of pictures, the fiance took them for me since my camera is dead)

(also, the things on the fireplace are the extremely wonderful gifts we got for our housewarming party, we just haven't sorted it all out yet!)

I will upload pictures of the kitchen and other rooms soon. They are a work in progress. The kitchen is done but I don't like the picture of it so I'll have to get a better picture of it to just show how adorable it is :)

We could not be more excited about our home. It's been such a wonderful thing for us! I'm sorry to go on and on about our house but it's just been such a new and exciting thing in our life and want to share it with everyone!

More to come soon!

new family member!

sorry I have not updated in forever, we still do not have internet :( So I'm eating dinner at my rents and using their internet for now! So today Jeremy and I got a new member for our family! His name is Titus and he's absolutely adorable! A co-worker of mines daughter was going to get rid of him because he needed more time to play and run than her work schedule allowed so I offered to take him on so he wouldn't have to go to the shelter! So I met him a little bit ago and am already in love. I know jeremy loves him just as well :)

so not only are we in love with our newest member of the family, we are totally in love with our new home! We feel so comfortable there and have gotten some amazing gifts for our home! We had a great house warming party Saturday (given by my bffs Jen and Amanda). We are so blessed to have everything we have!

I promise I will post pictures of the house soon :)

Homeowners!

It's official! We are finally in our new home :) (excuse the landscaping, we are changing that soon!)

So we do not have internet at our new home (thanks for being on strike verizon) so I'm sorry I have not updated about the big day!

We closed Wednesday afternoon and started moving some things that night. Thursday was spent moving everything else in. We have had some amazing help from family and friends and are ever so grateful for everything! We are pretty much all moved in and now it's time to decorate and deal with the small things!

We feel like we have been in the house for years. It's so comfortable and perfect for us! We are very lucky :)

I will post pictures of the inside soon!

oh p.s.- Today is Mrs. Cranes birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Moving Eve!

So tonight is the last night at my parents house, even though I've enjoyed rent free living and free meals for the past two weeks, I am ready to be in my new house with the fiance!

I'm not gonna lie, I had a bit of a meltdown last night about not being able to close on the house tomorrow. There was a slight delay on some paperwork (not on our end...) that we didn't know if it would get signed in time for closing. But, we got word today from our awesome realtor, Melissa, that it's signed and stamped and everything is ready to go! so, knock on wood, tomorrow at 1:00 we will be holding the keys to our new house! :)

An added bonus for today: my wonderful parents put the deposit on Oakwood for my wedding reception! So we have a church to get married in and a place to celebrate! Now come the details, but we can wait until things are settled in the house before getting to those!

Alright, time to get some sleep. We have a few long days ahead of us but we know it will be oh.so.worth.it!

"These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right."

sweet summertime

My dad found the smoothie mix that Joe Beans uses and bought some. So for dessert tonight we made peach mango smoothies! Oh.so.delicious! Perfect night for screened in porch, family, and smoothies :)

p.s.- for my beach family (which is a little over a month away!!), these are gonna be perfect :)

4 days!

4 days and counting until we will be in our new home! The fiance and I couldn't be happier :)

I have so much to be thankful for. Buying a house and getting to marry the best guy I know..I am one lucky girl! Even if I haven't gotten everything I wanted or things don't go the way I had planned, everything still seems so perfect to me! I couldn't ask for anything better!

So I had a little retail therapy today with my mama. Went to target, bought a dress and two shirts for $19. I love to find great deals! It's nice to be able to shop, even on a budget!

Alright just a quick update, so much to do to get ready for the new house! One thing I am looking forward to this week is Jeremy and I finally getting to take a picture holding a sold sign in front of our new home :) Lots of packing/unpacking/cleaning/organizing/decorating is in store for this week! Come on Wednesday!

"Baby just look at us,

all this time and we're still in love

Something like this just don't exist

Between a backwoods boy and a fairy tale princess

People said it would never work out,

Living our dreams has shattered all doubts

It feels good to prove 'em wrong

Living our love song"

In transition

So my life has become overwhelmingly exciting but still on hold all at the same time. I moved out of my apartment on Sunday and am at my parents for 8 more days until the fiance and I close on our house August 10. I'm sad and happy all at once..mostly happy but I did enjoy living with two of my good friends from high school! I'm glad we had the chance to do that for a year! I'm feeling overwhelmed right now because I moved out and my stuff is in three different locations! I have no idea how/where my stuff is packed so it should be very interesting when I unpack at our new home!

My cousin is leaving in 2 days for cali..yes. california like a million miles away from here. I'm gonna miss seeing her every day and work really isn't going to be the same :( But I wish her and her hubby the best of luck! Hopefully I will see them next month at the beach!

Speaking of work, it's been kind of crazy at work. We've been super busy (no surprise there) and just not so good news has happened lately. I hate how there are situations when you know nothing you say will make someone feel better..just the feeling of hopelessness when someone is going through a tough time. I do want to say though that I appreciate everyone that is in my life. I have wonderful family and friends and should tell them more often just how special they are to me!

The fiance is in CT for work so I kind of miss him a little ;) No I really do miss him but he has gotten some great opportunities at work so I'm very happy for him. We honestly haven't been apart much since he's graduated so I've enjoyed the time we have gotten to spend together! He means the world to me!

Alright enough of this, gonna create a new playlist for running, starting to feel unmotivated with my old playlist!
