Getting Back into the Swing of Things

Well it's been a while. Actually 1.5 years to be exact but who's counting... I've wanted to get back into blogging for a while now but with a full time job and wanting to sit on the couch everyday after work i've kinda convinced myself to put it off.

But no more!! My goal is to do at least one post every 2 weeks. I really don't think it should be that hard.

So hear we go! What have I been up to in the last 1.5 years?

1. Home Fixing - David and I bought our first house October 2014, and it has been an adventure! Since we bought the house we have done the following:
  • Removed a tree that fell in our neighbors pool less than 48 hours of owning the house.
  • Replaced all underground plumbing.

  • Replaced both the AC unit and furnace.
  • Created a pass through between our kitchen and dining room.
  • Re-sodded our entire backyard after fixing the plumbing destroyed it. 

  • Various small updates that make the house more modern like painting, and replacing gold fixtures with brushed nickel. 


2. Work - If you don't know I work as a Project Engineer/Cost Analyst for Turner Construction in Houston.

3. Traveling - David and I have been very fortunate to be able to take some fun trips. In June we went to Wisconsin to visit family. In July we went to Hawaii for my best friends wedding. And most recently we went to Nashville for Valentines.



4. And finally Baking! (My absolute favorite thing to do!). I've made cupcakes, cookies, cake balls, cakes, and pies. I started a baking fund at work, so now my husband doesn't have to complain about who is paying for my habit.

Ok, well that is enough about me. Like I said you should be expecting another post from me in the near future. I promise I won't disappear this time

  1. Happy to know about such a nice post. Planning my niece's birthday party at one of the Seattle venues in a couple of weeks. Got amazing discount online. Thinking of shimmer lightning and colorful flowers to make the venue graceful. Saw many theme cakes for kids and will finalize it after showing to the birthday girl.
