Mitch's Reception

Jesse's cousin once removed (I think!!!) had a wedding reception in Longview, Texas. It was a mere 4 hours away, so we were able to go!! I got to meet some of his family that I hadn't met before! It was quite exciting! They were all so loving and welcomed me right in!

I would have taken more pictures, but the battery was on the verge of dying. So I would take one picture and then turn it off. And then I would forget I even had the camera. :/

Hamilton Pools

So I heard about this really neat place called Hamilton Pools from a vendor we use at work. We decided to go check it out with our neighbors one day and we had a blast! It's about an hour drive from here, and then you have to wait about 30 minutes to get in. They only allow 50 cars, so you have to wait for 1 to leave for another car to enter. It all goes by pretty fast, luckily! It's about a 1/4 mile hike down to the pool and it's so neat!!! The hike goes by pretty fast since it's shaded the entire time by really big trees. The water was really cold since it's all from the Pedernales River. Here are some pics! There aren't a whole lot of pictures, but it's easier than putting them in here individually! :D

Tuscan Dreams

We painted a few accent walls at work a Barnyard Red, and I started to get the itch to paint our house! So far we only have one room done. We can't decide on the other colors at this point. The kitchen was very easy to decide on. We went for a Tuscan Red. It's a very dark red. It took us all day on a Saturday to paint the kitchen, but it was worth it!



Here is the before picture!


Molly was calm as can be. Just relaxing as we did all the work! lol


They were so funny trying to watch Jesse! At one point, Rowdy fell off the window sill. I don't know how he didn't end up with paint all over him!


We had to put the pups into the crate because they were getting too close to the paint.. Isn't she adorable?


Here is the final project! We love it! I just realized we didn't put the green ivy back up at the top!!! Oops!!!

Smithville Trip

Jesse and I went out to Smithville one evening to visit my Great Uncle Sam and Aunt Leann. They have a bunch of horses so they were showing us all of their horses and their property. It was really neat. It was so quiet out there, too!
Here's a slide show of their horses!
