So we live in Texas...

That was a crazy summer, eh?

Here's what we did starting from the spring:

• Alex finished his year at Marion Military in Alabma
• Dakota finished her year at SVSU
• Seth and Sam finished 8th grade at Zemmer
• Alex left for West Point July 1st
• We all cried
• Brad picked out our house in Texas (I first saw it the day of closing)
• The movers came June 20thish
• We all cried
• We hit the road, spent some time with my brother Steve and his family in MO
• Arrived in Texas
• Bought a house
• Drove to West Point to see Alex
• Drove home
• Dakota started college at the University of Texas Arlington
• Seth and Sam started 9th grade at Colleyville Heritage High School
• Dakota turned 19 and got a kitten, named hellcat Junie

• Oh and Brad is building a new GM Stamping plant
• i love bullets

Everyone is happy, healthy and settling in great. Because I am basically writing this for my Mom I will now post boring pictures of what I've been up to at home :)

Craig's List! I'm addicted! 

I bought fabric and I need to recover this $10 ottoman

Sectional and chairs are also Craig's List

In fact, everything I've bought is Craig's List or eBay

I got four of these chairs

These two I painted an avocado green and recovered 

in a western print for the family room

The other two chairs I recovered in a moroccan print and 

painted them black. They are in the living room/Brad's 

wine room. I cleaned up and stained the end 

table but still need to do the coffee table. I didn't realize it was

brown metal trim so I'll paint that black

The wine is not the first thing you see when you walk in the house, 

but it's there! The living room/dining room are open and painted

burgundy with curtains left by the previous owner. Brad loves the

colors and I have bigger fish to fry so for now it stays

I think the wing back chair is my first purchase (maybe? It's all a blur)

It had a small stain on it which I got out and it's a great chair. I

recovered our headboard and really just need some details here...

Like maybe hanging something on the walls

I did hang this on the wall in the entryway.

I'm sure it's Brad's relative although the 

hairstyle looks familiar.

We miss our friends and family so much! 

It's weird because sometimes I'll think I see someone I

know and then I remember I don't know anyone. 

Which means I can act crazy and it won't show up in sound off. 

There's always a positive!
