Our newest backyard addition

20130319-211813.jpg

Wooooooo we have a picnic table! Since we moved in 2 years ago I’ve been toting a folding card table between the front porch (where it belongs) and the backyard (where I occasionally like to work) and now I can be as lazy as I damn well please because we bought a wood picnic table! […]

Instagram Summer

20120907-160940.jpg

Alright alright – time to finally concede to the heaping pile of fall semester homework and say farewell to the dwindling bliss of summer living. I know I know, I complain (excessively) about summer heat, bugs, sweat etc. – but those are all weather concerns. For the most part, summer treated us really, really well […]

The last of Cali 2012

20120808-191540.jpg

So it’s back to Nashville – for a few days! I left California yesterday morning and was home by the early evening. Flying is crazy…you know, the whole crossing the country in a matter of hours thing. I still get freaked out about flying because of that one time our plane was hit by lightning…and […]

Crazy August

20120724-061756.jpg

We’re closing in on the last few weeks of summer and we’re packing a ton of stuff into the last couple of weeks. I think we planned our summer this way anticipating that I’d be completely finished with my thesis by now…well, it was a nice dream. Actually I’m so close to finishing that I […]

Bobbie’s Dairy Dip

20120715-213857.jpg

A couple of nights ago we were all sitting down at the table (and when I say “we” I mean Leslie, her parents, her grandma and me) after a delicious meal – we made pesto again – wondering what we could do to extend the joy of our dinner.  At that point, Annie came up […]

good company and a bit of suspense

20120711-092400.jpg

This week is going by SO SLOWLY. Last week we were spoiled because we started the week still on a little vacation high and then the 4th of July holiday in the middle of the week, so it seemed like we got to the weekend in no time. On Friday Corinne came into town just […]

Wedding Weekend Part 2!

20120614-140342.jpg

Part two of our wedding weekend starts on Saturday morning after Ellen’s wedding. We rode with my parents down to Birmingham, Alabama for our friend Jennifer Faulkner’s wedding. My brother and I grew up visiting the Faulkners in Birmingham whenever we’d go down to see my grandparents in Alabama. My dad spent part of his […]

Garden Update: The Transplant

20120527-222744.jpg

This garden of ours is Javier’s baby – he dreamed it up, build the beds, fenced them in with chicken wire (which I now know is really hard to do alone!), bought the plants and researched the soil etc. etc. and did it all on his own. The only part of this that I can […]

And our vacation destination is…

We’re going to Colorado!! So first, thank you to EVERYONE who commented, texted and e-mailed us ideas about vacation destinations – we have about 50 ideas for future vacations and every single one of them sounds awesome. I know we originally said that the west side of the country was out of the question, but […]

Around the house

DSC_0833

Since I posted about the signs of spring popping up all over our yard, we’ve had a variety of plants and flowers sprout and bloom everywhere. The woman who used to live in our house was an avid gardener and luckily for us she planted flowers that don’t need any upkeep or attention from us. […]
