504 Continued...

Hi friends! I'm proud to announce that I have been a productive girl today.  I got up, went for a run outside (another perk to living in Florida), got a shower, had lunch, painted my nails and have been working on some wedding signage for one of my May brides.

The bride I just mentioned is actually a really good friend of mine from college.  We met our freshman year in the dorm and now, almost 10 years later, I'm helping plan her wedding!  Her name is Laura, and she is one of the 504 girls mentioned here.  Mine and my friend Lauren's dorm room number was 504.  It was always the place we four girls would hang out (Bekah, the other 504 member lived just down the hall).  Somehow the reference to our room number stuck, and we've been the 504 Girls ever since.  We had many memories and laughs in that room, and I feel so lucky to still be making them with these ladies.

As mentioned in the tagged post, we had a 504 reunion in January.  Ever since our freshman year of college, we've taken a picture in a particular pose (complete with the stacked elbows) so we had to continue the traditional in January.  I'm sure it'll look quite humorous when we're old ladies striking this pose :)

Just for kicks, I'd thought I'd show a comparison of us my senior year of college and now.  We're in the wrong spots, but you get the idea.  My how time flies!

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together.  The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys.  So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door.  The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room.  Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not.  You win some.  You lose some.  I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace.   A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the o...

Up Up And Away- Take Two (And Three)

We took our second family flight this past June.  We took the earliest flight out so we had to wake up at 4:00am to get everything ready.  I had all of the girls' stuff ready and laid out so we only woke them five minutes before we left at 5:00 am.  Rollins is our late sleeper so I thought she would for sure fall back asleep in the car on the way to the airport.  Nope.  Auden, who is typically my early riser (with the sunrise), fell asleep instead.  I guess Rollins knew something was up and was too excited to miss anything.  She didn't fall asleep until we were 10 minutes from our friends' house in Dallas.  Meanwhile, Auden fell asleep again on the plane.  Proof that you can never predict what toddlers will do during travel days.   Auden loved getting to use her new suitcase and travel backpack (that daddy so graciously attached to his luggage for her).  We got quite a few comments from those ...

Vintage Western Couples Shower

Last week I helped host a couples shower for our friends Colin and Maranda who are getting married in January. The overall idea was to create a vintage, western feel perfect for fall.  Maranda initially wanted to have an autumn wedding but the timeline wasn't right, so this was our slight nod to a festive, fall soiree.  Along with my own ideas, I also took to Pinterest (my new drug) and party sites like Hostess with the Mostess to get inspiration.  The largest inspiration was from this party on hwtm.com.  It had so many cute ideas that I had to steal borrow a few of them and add my own little twist to them.  The final outcome led to this: Here's a front view (everything wasn't quite out yet, but I wanted to show you this angle). I painted canvas with Colin and Maranda's silhouettes to anchor the center of the table and hung cafe lights (from my wedding) to light the backdrop (a striped bed sheet). Old wooden boxes from my great uncle's barn in...
