Birthday, Play dates, and Renovations

We've had a very busy week, once again. We've done lots of painting, cleaning, organizing, you name it. But we also got to have some really good church friends over and Bailey even got to have some puppy play time. It was really fun. Unfortunately, on Monday night on the Bachelorette, Jillian kicked off who I think could have been the love of her life.HUGE mistake. But I can't get into that- I get way too emotional. OH and HARRY POTTER!!! We saw it on Friday night with some friends and it was amazing. Really, sooo good. Almost makes me want to go back and read the book. Almost:)

Well I had a really good birthday hanging out with friends yesterday. It's weird to be 25- not quite sure how I feel about it all. I still just feel like a college kid who happens to have a wonderful husband, a good pup, and a new house. I just really feel so blessed to be at this point in my life and be surrounded by such sweet and encouraging friends. For my birthday, I will get to be going to the Coldplay concert here on Tuesday night! Brandon hasn't ever been to a really big show like this, and it's amazing for us to get to go to a show we are both so excited about. I've been dropping "subtle" hints for months, but really gave up hope when they sold out really quickly. So that will be really fun. And then this weekend I get to see my family at my cousins wedding! Hooray!!!

Tonight Bailey got to have a play date with Knightley, Josh and Suzie's new puppy. They had a BLAST and never slowed down more than for a couple minutes. Here's a few pictures of them-

Isn't Knightley the cutest thing?!?!


Also, we've been doing lots of updating on the house. Here's the most completed project so far...
