Happy Birthday!

A scheduled post for my dear hubby:

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Landon,

Happy birthday to you!

What a blessing Landon has been to me. He is silly and smart, optimistic and good-natured. He honors and respects me in everything he does. I trust him wholeheartedly, and I look to him for protection and security and provision.

He is also such a good friend to those who are close to him.

I love you, Landon!

Catch All Post

We are so excited to get out of town for the weekend. I am hosting a bachelorette party in Tulsa for Payton, one of my nearest and dearest friends. We are then going to stay in Tulsa for the rest of the weekend to celebrate Landon's birthday!! He isn't 30 yet...but it won't be long!

Today was our original closing date for the house, and we obviously aren't closing. :( We are sad and ready to close, but we are also trying to be patient. We know that it will all be worth it when we actually close and move into our house.

We finally found some furniture! We ordered a dining room set yesterday!! We have the same taste in decorating/furniture, but we have had so much trouble finding things we like. We think it will look really good with the wood (dark cherry, we believe...we need to find that out from the builder) and the black appliances and black granite countertops. Here is a picture of the table, chairs, and a really bad picture of the buffet.

New House Pictures

Below are some sneak peak pictures of our new house! We are hoping to close this coming Friday (15th), but it could very well be the next week. Basically, we are at the mercy of bankruptcy court. Everything is finished on our side, so we are just waiting. As I mentioned, we are buying the house from bankruptcy court...the builder (Brass Brick) went bankrupt just as they were finishing the house. There are a few finishing touches that we need to complete, but it is SO CLOSE to being done. On the front of the house, we will put a decorative gable vent on the big bare area of brick. I hope that makes sense!? We will also stain the shutters on the window to the right.

Love the front door!

My beloved kitchen. I love the cabinets (they look almost white-washed), and the contrast of the black counter tops, and the wood molding. I also LOVE the island. A LOT. This picture was taken from outside, so excuse the heinous picture quality and reflections.

The rest of the house is hard to explain from this picture, so I won't even try until I have better pictures. We are so excited!!! And, we can't wait to have everyone over for dinner and fun!!!
