I'm Back!

Ok, so I know that I have been MIA for a while...

I was having serious computer/internet issues and I ended up getting a Mac Mini Last week... I am so excited. I love it... Yep I am a convert, and proud of it :)

Things also started to pick up at work which meant there was less time to post a blog...So I will do a quick recap of the past month or so!

I moved into my house, and painted, which I think you saw pictures of :) I am still loving it so so much! I have met so many neighbors and they are all pretty awesome, I can't complain!

At the end of July I started back up on weight watchers, and I have lost 8 pounds which puts me at -18 since Christmas 2009 :). Although I don't think you can tell. I can because my pants don't fit... but no one else seems to notice, which could be good or bad. Good that I carried the extra 18 well, or bad I still look like I need to lose 20 lbs... Oh well, I feel better and my close don't fit so I guess that is really all that matters. :)

Thoughts?

At the end of July was the Eve of Janus that became very time consuming, but over all it was a great experience. However I think I may have to pass the torch to someone new next year, I had entirely too much on my plate... (I like how I say that in the past tense, I still have too much on my plate but love it all) The Eve was BEAUTIFUL...yes there was some rain...it was quite fitting for this year...

After the Eve things really started to pick up. The Anderson's were in town for Erik and Jackie's wedding and we were so lucky to be able to spend so much time with them. I took a couple of days off because I knew that fall was going to be here soon and there would be no time to breathe!

One productive 4th of July weekend!

I've had one PRODUCTIVE weekend! It was one of the best Independence Day weekends.

It all started on Friday when my boss kindly us start the party early but leaving work at 2:00! I did exciting stuff, you know like getting the alignment fixed on my car...With that task done it was off to start the painting!

My new couch is arriving Wednesday morning, (Oh gosh that is tomorrow already, EXCITING!!!) and I wanted to make sure that First was

painted before the new sofa arrived. The last thing I want to do is get paint all over the new sofa.

I want to do a big reveal of what the room looks like all put together, but I love the way the paint turned out so I must give you a sneak peak...

Durring one of my many runs to Lowes I saw these cute little American flags and thought they would look super cute and patriotic, so I got them!

I also had serious issues trying to attach my flag holder thing to my

house, so I did the next best thing, I stuck it in the plant for the day! He He... I need to get that problem resolved before football season!

Here are some other cute pictures from the weekend's festivities!

Now those are some good lookin' girls ;)

Look how SHORT I look compared to Will... He has always been tall, but I guess I didn't think I was THAT short!

FIREWORKS TIME!!!

I hope you had a great weekend too!

I LOVE the view from my house!

One of the thinks I love about my house is the view!

Casey and I have followed in Mom and Dad's tradition of sitting outside with a cocktail and taking in the early evening. (Nashville has been SO HOT lately that is the only time of day that it is bearable to be outside.) One of the views I love the most is watching the sun set, we get to see some of the most spectacular sunsets... (The pictures don't do them justice)

There also some sweet views of downtown, from the 2nd floor nook, and Casey's room...We arn't sure how long we will have the view, we will have it as long as they only build a 2 level townhouse in front of mine... :) It is so hazy in these pictures it is hard to see downtown, I am determined to get a good picture of it on a clear day.

The way my house sits on top of the hill we also have some spectacular views of storms as they pass over and around us. Here are some pictures from the Thursdays crazy storm!
