M-I-A....oops!

So at the start of this blog I had every intention of blogging daily and being super committed.  By the dates on these posts I am sure you can see how well I achieved that goal...oops!

However, one of my many New Year's Resolutions is to ensure that I make time for blogging.  This year has flown by and I wish that I would have taken time to myself and reflected on all the wonderful things that have gone on this year.

I will not try and re-capture events since my last post, but who doesn't enjoy some pictures. Enjoy the photo timeline and scouts honor to a better blogger in 2012!

Memorial Day Weekend in San Diego with WVU loves.


Summer Concert Fun with the ladies.



July, our newest addition "Jackson" comes home, finally!



September we head to Nashville, TN and of course LCP arrives while we are gone!


Cold weather sets in and holidays have come and gone...






John and I are truly looking forward to all that 2012 has to bring.  We have some exciting trips in the works (more to come) and are looking forward to ringing in the new year with some great friends!

They're Here....

We got some exciting news last night that the breeder's puppies have arrived!!  I'll spare everyone the details of the "almost no puppy" drama, but needless to say we are not going with our original chosen breeder.  We did find a new breeder based on some last minute surprising news and the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

So without further ado.....



SOOO cute.  Can't wait to post more about the chosen one!

First of Many...

As this is my first post, I thought it was appropriate to share our most recent house project.  I will admit that there are some days that I am 100% motivated to cross things off our list and then other days items will sit in the shopping bags that I brought them home in. Much like the way I leave tags on clothes until I actually wear them, some projects I like to continue to think about before completing.  This is a fact about me that drives John insane.  Needless to say, we were both feeling pretty lazy this Sunday and decided to finally empty the pottery barn shopping bags that had been sitting in the corner for over two months.



We saw this great way to create a picture wall on HGTV and the method couldn't have been better.  We got poster board that was the width and length of the picture wall that we wanted to create.  We were then able to arrange pictures as much as we wanted without having to commit to a hole in the wall.  Once we decided on a layout, we outlined the pictures on the poster board to ensure frames were straight with the eye-line we wanted to create.



We then taped the poster board to the wall and using the outlines, drilled the holes for the pictures. This worked out great!  We love the finish product--now I just have to get the pictures re-sized that we want to use!  My favorite part of the wall is the name sign that we have kept from our wedding day sign that my dad made for us!
