You'll Love Lufkin

I can't believe its already May!  Spring fever/Summer time fun has set in and this weekend will be a fun way to start the Summer off.  Lovely Lufkin is putting on their very first music festival (East Texas Summerfest) with lots of fun things to do.  We are heading that way tonight/tomorrow to check it out!  If you live in Lufkin, you should come too! 

I Wish I May, I Wish I Might

So Jamie and myself got a little souvenir when we went to Mexico in December.  We were walking down 5th Ave. in Playa del Carmen and wanted to buy something to take back with us from our trip.  We saw this super cute store with all these brightly colored puzzle-type pieces in it.  So...we stopped and decided to buy this.....

We really wanted a really BIG, bright piece that had a lot of cute animals on it but it wasn't quite in our budget....next time.  This little one was. :) 

Before Pictures

So...we are getting pretty close to having a newly painted house and a house full of furniture.  So I thought I would share the before photos now.  These crack me up b/c there is just so much empty space. It will be a couple weeks but the Afters are soon to follow (hopefully).

Congratulations Ronnie and Leah!

We just got back from Mexico...I know...again!!  We went to a wedding at Secrets Maroma (where we honeymooned) which was awesome.  It was my first beach wedding and we had a great time.

Our First Purchase...of Many!

Yay!  We finally made our first furniture purchase...this table and these chairs for our breakfast area.  Super excited!  We have a long way to go...but we are making progress!

On another note....crazy Texas weather kills me!  Lufkin is pretty much shut down for now....a few drops of ice in East Texas and that happens. We are working until lunch today and then getting a group together for a good time somewhere yet to be determined.  Hope everyone is staying warm!!

Better Late Than Never

Goodness gracious we've been busy since Christmas. Always on the go and having fun at the same time. We enjoyed family and friends over Christmas....

 and then headed to California for the New Year and the ROSE BOWL!

The trip was tons of fun and it was truly a unique experience to see the Frogs win in Pasadena (I don't know what I would have done with Mr. Davis if they had lost...it would've been a long trip to say the least). BUT..they won and we were lucky enough to be able to cheer them on!!

As for New Years Resoulution(s)...our biggest one is to furnish our new house.  Babysteps are inevitable so we are starting out with the living room and the breakfast area.

We Love Us Some Mexico

Our trip to Mexico was GREAT!  We got a little R&R, got a little sun, sipped on some fiiine tequila and hit the repeat button for 4 days...and it was awesome!  The resort we went to...The Royal in Playa del Carmen is one of my favorites.  Its right in the town and just a block away from 5th Avenue.  We walked into town every afternoon and played around..then made it back to the resort a little after dark (at the request of my mother). 



we stopped at a fun little bar in town.....swinging and sipping and listening to some nice men serenade us with 'Besa me Mucho'
