We have been busy like Bees!

Well, since my last post the house has changed DRAMATICALLY! We've gone over there every night this week and worked after work! But, the progress is proving our long days/late nights to be totally worth it! *So sorry that I have no photos to update but, I promise I will tomorrow!* 

What we did this week:

- Removed deliciously delightful popcorn off all ceilings (outside of the living/kitchen...which is where all of our furniture is temporarily being stored.) 

- Taped the upstairs windows and all of the stair railing (thanks to yours truly) to prep for paint

- Primed the entire upstairs! (We invested in our own paint sprayer and boy was it worth it!)

Hopefully, the carpet will go in this weekend [upstairs only]. And the hardwood floors downstairs! 

In the midst of this and a full work week, I also coordinated a wedding this weekend (will update with pics once I receive them!) for a great friend. This was my first to do on my own and it was sooo nerve-wracking but, in the end it was a success! Not to mention that it was GORGEOUS! I ran the rehearsal Friday night and took care of every detail on the big day. As I sent her down the aisle, my eyes welled up with tears in happiness for her/the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment. Maybe one day I can start my own company strictly doing weddings. For now, it's just something fun and fulfilling to do when possible. :)

I also sent out the invites for the bridal shower I am single-handedly (and happily so), hosting on March 7th for one of my very best friends! I am so excited for this. It will have a very sophisticated "Breakfast at Tiffany's" feel to it without the overwhelming "themed-ness". The invites read,

  "Darlings, In the sprit of the occasion, would you please wear  your best 'little black dress' ? Don't forget your utterly fabulous pearls, sparkles and divine costume jewelry!" 

Of course this weekend was also V-Day! Grant was so sweet and sent me one dozen pink roses to work on Thursday. (pics above) He used a local florist (even better!) And they were perfect. We also went out to dinner last night to the wonderful restaurant where we hosted our rehearsal dinner for our wedding and had V-Day dinner last year. We were so tired from the wedding and tired of being dressed up, we seriously went out in our sweats! Terrible, I know but, we didn't care. I can't tell you how many strange looks I got. 

I ended the weekend with a little retail therapy. I totally deserved it! (pics above) Whew! Can't wait for another crazy week! Until tomorrow night XOXO.
