Wanna Be Startin' Something...

Re: the title of this post...I put my music on random and chose the first title that came up. Quite fitting!

This week I did a bit of self-reflection in light of appreciating my blessings...and I realized that I really quite missed blogging. It's nice having a record of goings on and happenings, and I guess a year-long break was enough time to see that. :)

I must admit that really not that much has changed in the past year. Below are a few of my current faves...

• Tone it up
• Below Deck
• Pinterest
• Etsy (for serious...it's a borderline addiction)
• Sweat pants (just keeping it real...)
• This version of Halo from Jordan Smith
• Emjois
• Snap Kitchen
• anything Erin Condren
• My husband living in Katy again!
• inflatable yard decorations

And a few pictures (because I'm a visual learner, so why not?)...

 Visiting my bestie in Nashville...oh, how I miss her!

 My team! 

Pretty much only saw this guy at football games in the past six weeks...so glad he's back (especially because two different sinks in our house decided to break/leak all over the floors while he was gone)! 

Oh hey, sometimes we hang out in 30 degree weather to see the Aggies play football.

July Recap

I've kind of slacked off on blogging the last part of this month. Mostly because not that much has been going on! I've been staying home with Bro Bro, and Tyson's been working a lot. Here are a few highlights:

• We celebrated the 4th of July at the ranch with the Hanns and Heather's future in-laws. It was really hot!
• Brody is getting acclimated to Katy and has liked his doggie dates so far. We're planning to go to the dog park soon, which I know he will love.
• I have had several interviews, but the right position has not presented itself yet. I have an interview with a school district next Monday, so prayers for that would be greatly appreciated! I started Beth Moore's Stepping Up study through the Psalms of Ascent, which has been perfect for this season of my life. 
• My current obsession? Sarah's House on HGTV. It is in it's third season in Canada, and they've picked it here and show seasons 2 & 3. So much inspiration! I love it! I have all of the episodes on my DVR, so you should come over and catch up.
• Tyson started his training for the Dallas White Rock marathon in December. It will be his first full marathon! I do not think I will run the corresponding 5k though, because it's held the day before. Boo.
• Lots of friends moving! One of my best friends moved back to Houston, and Lesley informed me she is moving back in December!! Wahoo! Val moved away to Abilene though, which was bittersweet.
• I also had some bridal pictures taken by Valerie Millard Studios! You can see a few here!

Sadly, I cannot type very much longer because I lifted weights for the first time since before the wedding this morning and am already super sore. Seriously, why are my biceps hurting from typing??

June Recap

• Tyson, Brody, & I moved to the Katy area (and I'm still adjusting to life in non-College Station)
• We got married!
• Mexico was AMAZING!
• Tyson started his job and likes it so far
• We joined 24 Hour Fitness but do not really like it...any gym recommendations?
• Still unemployed...but I stayed busy unpacking, applying for jobs, going to the DMV/Social Security Administration multiple times, writing thank you cards...
• Sprinkles came to Houston!! Tyson and I are planning a date to the Galleria and a Sprinkles trip soon. :)
• In an effort to reduce costs, I haven't had Starbucks in 3 weeks...and have been going through withdrawal ever since!
• I got introduced to AT&T Uverse and instantly fell in love.

P.S. The Bay Area Burgers were awesome! In case you were wondering. :o)
