Best Valentine's Day Ever!

What a wonderful year this is turning out to be! For Christmas my parents gave Evan and I tickets to the play "My Fair Lady" in OKC. It was February 11th and we counted it as our Valentine's Day celebration. It is such a fun story and we really enjoyed a night on the town.





I am one of those girls that loves getting a bouquet of flowers - so thanks to my sweetie for finding this beautiful arrangement!



And of course, no Valentine's day is complete without buying a house! :) We are looking to close mid-late March (fingers crossed). Here are some fun pictures for y'all to check out. This first one is the SOLD sign! And a good view of the front of the house.



Here's the entry way with the door (one of our favorite features). We are going to change out a few of the light fixtures and things to fit our style more, but those things will come later.



Here is the cute kitchen. It doesn't have a formal dining room, just a cozy little nook right off the kitchen. It's a very open floor plan with the kitchen, dining, and living rooms all one open space.



Here's the living room, with a cool fire place.



The next two pictures are the counter-tops that melted Evan's heart :) They are SO beautiful and I hope these pictures help give you some idea of how unique they are. The first one is of the kitchen island and the second one is from the master bathroom.





Not to mention - the garage. It's technically a 4 car garage. You see the three on the front of the house and the fourth is a tandem with the third and the door faces the back of the house. It can be used as a shed for outdoor equipment, etc...



Ah... and my favorite part: the back porch. I have big plans for this porch. I see a little outdoor cooking area, a beautiful seating area, maybe a hammock... a girl can dream right :) Either way, we are in love with the house and can't wait to make it ours.



Here's a view of our property and where the house sits on it.



We are so grateful for the opportunity to buy this house and want to thank the Bagley's for their continued support. We miss you all and can't wait to have you come visit some time!

We hope you had an amazing Valentine's day and that the rest of your month goes wonderfully too!

Drink up!

Hi-o! After a weekend stuck indoors being sick I'm... still indoors being sick... I've survived by watching endless amounts of Monk episodes AND drinking water.

This is the subject of my post today: water.



I've been working out and eating right (mostly right) for a whole month. I should have been losing a lot more weight than I was losing and I was getting pretty upset about it. During my hard-core Wednesday work out, my friend suggested drinking more water. It couldn't be... water? No...

So I tried it. I went from 24 oz to 72+ oz a day and have seen dramatic results! I'm now losing the amount of weight I've been working for and feeling great about it!

Now the fun part - friends and family working toward a healthier you - I challenge you to drink more water! Drink up me hearties yo ho!
