Welcome Fall!

(southernliving.com)

Today I have my "Fall" to do list. I am putting put my Fall decorations. Mine do not look quite as extravagant as this beautiful Fall topiary. Also on my list is to put all the summer clothes up and pull out my fall/winter clothes. Now it just needs to get a little cooler out so I can wear those sweaters!!

Day Trip

Today we went to Paul Michael's in Lake Village, AR to do some Christmas decoration shopping. Yes, we need a storage unit just for our christmas decor, but I had to go get more! They had some awesome displays I had to share!

San Francisco/Wine Country

We just got back from a week in California for vacation. We were supposed to get back Friday evening but due to fog and lots of flight delays we ended up getting rerouted all over, spending the night in Dallas and getting home Saturday morning!
The good news is our luggage made it back to us!

I loved San Francisco. It is a city of wonderful food! I love sourdough bread, so I was in heaven. The best dinner we had was at North Beach Restaurant in Little Italy!

We also spent some time in Wine Country, which I also fell in love with! We went to two wineries, the town of Sonoma and a champaganery. It's beautiful there!

Waiting for Fall...

Top Five Reasons I am ready for Fall to be in Full Swing....

1. New episodes of some of my favorite shows.
Gossip Girl Season Premiere is Monday!!

2. Fall colors and decorations

3. Cooler Weather is coming!

4. Cooler weather means pulling of sweaters, turtlenecks, tights, boots, ect.

5. Anything flavored with pumpkin (pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, yummmm)

Another Year!

(Rehearsal Dinner)


Yesterday was our three year wedding anniversary!
How the time has flown by! I was telling my co-worker today at lunch how my wedding day began. I was staying at the Embassey Suites with one of my bridemaids. We woke up around 6 am to a loud fire alarm allerting us we had to evacuate!
So there we were grabbing all our stuff, thinking the hotel is burning down, running down 9 flights of stairs. I did not take it well! That was not how I wanted to begin sich a big day! Ha!

Painting Project

I have had the "itch" to paint something lately. Now that it is finally cooling down outside, I am thinking about painting my front door. The door is currently white. But the house is painted white with black shudders so I think it needs some color on the door. Here are some pictures I was looking at for color inspiration. I may be leaning towards a dark red....

Update

(Rascal as a baby)

I realized I hadn't put Rascal's big news on my blog. He is going to be a father!
He was bred with another olde english bulldogge by the people that sold us Rascal.
Foxxy Brown "aka Rascal's babies mama" is due in the next few days. I am sure there will be some cute puppy pictures coming soon.
Everyone has asked but no we will not be keeping a puppy right now. Rascal is a 90 lb handful and enough for us right now!!
