COLDPLAY
Ok first things first. Coldplay was so amazing. I was so excited to see them because Brandon and I both actually love their music. It was the PERFECT night for a concert. We sat on the lawn, and it was just perfect. I never realized how crazy Chris Martin is, running across the stage full speed. He was so fun to watch. I can just imagine what a fun marriage he and Gwyneth have together. And of course, they played all our favorite songs and I sang out loud for most of them. It was just the perfect summer evening.

Viva la Vida- such a good show!!
COLUMBUS
My cousin Ryan got married on July 24th in Ohio. I got to fly in for the big day and have a couple days with my family. It was good to be able to be there for his big day. We had such a fun weekend and I got some good quality time with Allie, who I miss so terrible. Unfortunately, the weekend just wasn't long enough and Jess didn't even get to come. But we had a lot of fun and even got some good shopping done. It was really great to see my grandparents, who I just don't get to see enough anymore. It was sad leaving, and I miss my family already!

When I got back to Dallas, Brandon had done lots of little home improvements. The most impressive was that he replaced our old brass glass shower door! The new one looks so so good- a silver finish to match everything else. I just never knew how handy Brandon is! He's so good at learning how to do all these home projects. At this rate, our whole house will pretty soon be renovated! He's such a hard worker (a little obsessive compulsive almost), and I love that his hard work is going into our new home. With every little update, our house is feeling more and more like ours.
FURNITURE
We've been looking and looking for new furniture for our bedroom. We already knew what we wanted, but the price tag was just never affordable. After searching more furniture stores than we knew existed, we decided to just wait until we found the perfect fit. Well, one day we stumbled into this little store that was going out of business and got a great deal on just what we were looking for! Here are just a few pictures...
We're excited to have furniture in our bedroom, even though the room still isn't set up exactly like we want it. But it's a start!!
BACHELORETTE
Once again, this season had a HORRIBLE finale. I know full well how dumb and girly I sound, but it really does just disappoint me every time that they don't choose who they so obviously would have the best life with! Jillian chose Ed. Whatever Jillian. Be that way. Even though you would have had a perfectly, blissfully happy life with Reed. Or even with Kipton! WHY doesn't she just ask ME my opinion?!?! I am just frustrated even though I loved every minute of that silly shallow show. And because they'll probably choose Reed to be the next Bachelor, I'm sure I'll be sucked into watching it again next season. And I'll still, I'm sure, love every second. Until then, I'll be irritated that ABC yet again topped it's own record for a dramatic finale. And that Jillian is going to miss out on the love she almost had...too bad for her.
WEEKEND
This weekend we had a wonderful time getting some very needed chores around the house. Brandon got to go see The Rocketboys downtown on Thursday night and hang out with two of his best college buddies. Saturday night I went to a Lingerie/Bachelorette Party for Becca, one of my best Grad School friends. It was so fun to finally see those girls again, and we had a lot of fun. Then, Sunday we hung out with Cortney and Brandon who came to church with us. Then we got to meet one of Bailey's future BFFs. We kept trying to talk our good friends Chris and Lacey into getting a dog. Well, they kept coming up with excuses and deciding against it. Well, Friday night, we were hanging out when Chris informed Lacey that maybe they should get a dog. Well, the next day, they came home with Katie, a 8-week-old yellow lab who is the most adorable thing ever. We went to play with her yesterday and I already can't wait for Bailey to meet her. This weekend, Brandon and I got a lot of cleaning and organizing done. Our living room is finally done, so I'll post pictures of that soon. Also, my sister Jessi and her boyfriend Jonathan left for surgical clinic in Antigua, Guatemala this weekend. So say a little prayer for them as they're down there for the next week doing some really great missions for the people there.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Love the bedroom. I can't believe how great it looks even from the last time we saw it.
Also, I totally agree with you about Jillian and her pick. I was soooooo mad that she didn't accept Reeds proposal. Ed was the worst choice! I was thinking that Jake might be the next one but who knows.
We need to hang out soon. It's been too long! Love ya and talk t ya soon
ok ok ok... I will just say that I LOVED the finale. I liked Ed. I DID like Reid more, and was sad when I watched the "after the rose", but I still was pleased with the ending! I liked Ed better than Kipton.
