First of all, I want to say that I love love LOVE having my own home. We’ve been there three months now, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I’m going to gush about it for just a bit so bear with me. Here are some (not all) of the things I love about our house. The neighborhood. Quiet, well-kept, lots of trees, amazing location. We’re not even a minute from the major freeway that runs across Houston. So even though we’re far west, it doesn’t take much time to get into town. The yard. We have a pretty corner lot that is already nicely landscaped with a working sprinkler system installed. With the help of our lawn man Gomez…

  I’ve always been an active person, but throughout my life my main form of exercise has been playing soccer. Even after I graduated from college I continued to play on adult leagues, indoor and outdoor. But the games are either late on week nights or on Sunday mornings. I can’t stay up late anymore because of work, and I won’t miss church to play soccer. So this past year has marked the first time in my life that I haven’t played, and I am in significantly worse shape now because of it. Even though soccer involves a LOT of running, I’m just not a runner. I tried to be for awhile, and at times I do enjoy it. But…

It’s Friday, hallelujah, and I want to take a moment to say how grateful to God I am for the way this week has gone. The biggest thing is that my husband David maybe, possibly, hopefully, is on the right track to maybe, possibly, hopefully getting his pain under control.

1. Went to the dentist, and I have clean teeth and no cavities! 2. Bought these sunglasses at my brother’s store, which are really cute and 50% off: 3. Met with our wedding photographer and am this close to finally getting an album ordered. 4. Grocery shopping and laundry: done! 5. Joined paperbackswap.com thanks to the recommendation of my good friend Sara. It’s great! 6. Had a surprise visit from my father-in-law who brought me Coldstone ice cream, which completely spoiled my dinner but it was worth it. 7. Loved on my husband and my dogs. 8. Preemptive success: going to bed on time! I love my days off.

Many of you have probably seen these pictures already, but if you haven’t I wanted to share them. The reason why they’re so late is because a) it took a few months for me to get the digital copies in the mail, b) then my website quit working, and c) since then I’ve just forgotten about it. My photographer was Christine Tremoulet. You can view more of the pictures on Flickr, but in the meantime here are some of my very favorites! (Legal stuff: all photographs by Christine Tremoulet.
