Our Office

It only took us two years to finally complete our office.  The shade arrived yesterday and I acquired Zach’s time and help to get it installed.  He was motived because it was the LAST thing we had to do in order to call it good and post it to our home decor blog.

The space looks a lot better in the daylight…but I am usually running too late to snap some pics on my way to work in the morning.

And just in time too…because Zach is having a [his words] Halo Party with his friends tonight.  By night our office turns into Game Central because that is where the TV and PS3/Xbox is located.  What am I going to be doing while Zach games the night away…?

FLYING TO NYC TO SEE MY FRIENDS!

It was a last minute thing, but my friend Kristina is having her bachelorette party/trip in New York this weekend…but since I couldn’t miss work I am leaving on the Red Eye tonight and staying there for a WHOPPING two days!  I didn’t think I could go because it seemed like such a waste of time and money for two flights in two days…but I don’t care!  I would be happy to stay TWO HOURS in NYC with my friends!  Tons of pictures to come!

Wedded Bliss

Remember when I posted about my friend, Brady Mathews’ wedding? Here’s some major wedding inspiration.

Just spotted these photos of his invites and the menus (which I forgot to post previously) on his photographer’s blog.  Much more beautiful than the gross screen shots I took a few weeks back…

I love when you have a friend with such amazing taste/style!  His wedding really was STUNNING.

You can see all the photos from his big day HERE on Alixann Loosle’s photography blog.

Weekend, NOTED

After being in Vegas the majority of the week, all I wanted to do this weekend was spend as much time as I could with Zach.

Friday, after watching portions of the Royal Wedding (which Zach thought was a movie coming into theaters…?) when I got home, Zach and I decided to do a Pajama Movie.

There is a theater that is near our house that we go to often, mostly because the movies are really cheap (and they are new releases, not like the Dollar Theater).  We got dressed in our “comfy cozies” (as my niece Lola would call them) and ate dinner at home before we went to Soul Surfer.  Such a cute movie, which is obviously a true story.  Zach actually requested to go to this film, and was immediately itching to go surfing again.

Saturday I finally got all the pieces of my stationery.  I have been wanting to order custom stationery for months.  (It’s one of those MANY things on my To-Do List.)  I found options that I LOVED at one of my favorite online paper sources, but not a whole suite I wanted to order.  So…I ordered some Graphic Art pieces and made some of my own to match.  The pieces I printed off myself are not as great of quality, but I’ll take ’em!

Later that afternoon was my nephew Charlie’s baptism.  We are so proud of him and his decision to get baptized!  Char has a way with the ladies, and looked so adorable in his little suit.  It was fun visiting with family after the baptism and some of us even attended a movie after – the always entertaining Fast Five.  Honestly, Zach and I were more entertained with the people in the theater than with the actual plot of the show.  Regardless, we loved being with Zach’s brothers and their wives.  It’s always a good laugh!

P.S. Congrats to all our friends that have graduated/are graduating this week!  So excited for you all!!!

Crafts & Cupcakes

Our April RS activity is coming up, it is Craft and Cupcake night!  I am actually really excited, we are making tissue paper Pom-Poms and get to sample all of the cupcakes entered into the cupcake competition!

I am going to make these bad boys:

Barefoot Cantessa’s AMAZING Coconut Cupcakes (which, by the way, I don’t even LIKE coconut).  I found this recipe in a book Zach and I got for our wedding from my professor who actually introduced us (tender).

They are THE best cupcakes I’ve ever had…and have been recently added to our work recipe book.

Besides, who doesn’t love a good craft and cupcake night?
