4 Day count down to the MOVE

Well - cleary I can't keep caught up on ANYTHING these days. I failed to update on Lil Man's 9th birthday...and hardly took any pictures of my trip to texas...so I leave you with two pictures today!

First - this is lil man and I on the plane going to Texas! He fell asleep LITERALLY right after he finished is bottle on the way up! To say I enjoyed him sleeping on me is an understatement. I never get this kind of lovin' anymore!

And here is what I have spent my ENTIRE day doing...sewing curtains! I know it seems crazy to be sewing all my curtains for the new house before we move, but to me...I feel settled when curtains are hung - so...Chuck - if you are reading...first, I love you...second - my curtains are done, so will you please hang them the night we move in? Love you!

Oh - and notice a big difference in my hair in the two pictures above? Yep - I went dark..and short. Why I did this the week before I move to a new city? NO CLUE - probably not so smart, but hey...it's different!

Moving Project 1

We move in 17 days and 7 of those days will be spent in Texas and 2 of those days...the packers / movers will be here...SO - I have 7 days to get all my house projects done! Now, it may seem crazy that I am wanting to paint & recover chairs, make pillow and sew up the big panel curtains for the living room ALL before we move - but you see...when I move - I like to be settled...ASAP! Immediate gratification if you will....

So project #1 - paint and recover my kitchen table chairs. Here is the before -

Here was my table yesterday - nothing wrong with it, but it really won't go well in my new house. After a whole can of spray paint and some AMAZING fabric and fringe...

A WHOLE NEW CHAIR! It did take me an hour to do one chair and I'm hoping the next 5 don't take nearly as long.

Project #2? Besides finishing the other chairs and painting the base of the table...Project #2 is the drapes / panels for the living room!

And let me just say this - I have not really ever done anything like this before, but it is AMAZING what sissors and a hot glue gun can do. Seriously!

Cruising it UP!

About 8 months ago, my sweet friend Anna asked if Chuck and I would help her pull of a HUGE surprise! Not only did she want to take her hubby, Brad, on a vacation for his 30th birthday, but she wanted us to come - and Brad not to know we would be joining them until the day of!

To say it all went down perfectly is an understatement! Anna told Brad THE MORNING of the vacation that they were leaving...but she didn't tell him where they were going...or who would be joining them..

We had such an amazing time and made memories I will most certainly never forget. We love us some DOYLE's!!! Tradition for 30th birthdays started this year - where we going next?!!

(p.s. - i just finished uploading all the photos - so sorry if there are too many! i didn't realize how many i uploaded and i can't bring myself to not share any less! this is not a lot in comparison to the almost 300 i took!) ENJOY, but BEWARE, it may make you jealous if it has been a while since you've seen waters this color!
