Our First House : Home Tour

Oh look, a house tour...a year and a half later! But seriously, these pictures are better than any I could have taken, so we're rolling with it. 

It's very surreal seeing these pictures. It still hasn't hit me yet that we are moving, so seeing these is just really weird. It's also the cleanest the house has EVER been. Anyone who has been to it and knows me can vouch for that. I don't think the duvet on our bed has actually ever been ON the bed before this week. If this isn't motivation to always keep a clean house, I don't know what is!

So here we go, our first home! (Picture overload...)

-View from the living room into the kitchen area, with stairs leading to the third floor-

-Kitchen, from the dining room-

-Kitchen, view from the sink-

-Kitchen, with view into dining room-

-Dining room with view into kitchen-

 -Dining room, with coffee station to the right (they took the coffee maker and tray off!-

-View of dining room and kitchen-

-Half bath on second floor-

-Master bedroom-

-Master bathroom-

-Bonus room/office/craft room-

-Reading nook. My little slice of heaven!-

-"Backyard"

-We are going to miss it!-

Phew! Lots of pictures. Not pictured is the laundry room, which is between the master and the office on the third floor. When we moved in, the office was the media room, hence the stage. We planned to use it as a nursery if that time came. 

It was the perfect first house for us - I will seriously miss it. 

wedding wednesday

In today's edition of I have too many wedding posts, we have our engagement pictures!

I used the photographer my sister used and I LOVED him. If you live in Houston or know anyone that does, seriously consider using him. He's fantastic and so is his wife. Check them out!

I picked out my outfits way in advance and then coordinated A's to fit with mine. I had three picked out but he vetoed the last one and added his own idea.

 

 

 

 

March in Texas is my favorite - the bluebonnets are GORGEOUS. We lucked out, normally you have to drive up to Brenham to get the good fields, but my brother's neighborhood in The Woodlands had a fairly decent sized one this year and we were able to go there instead.

I probably looked through hundreds of engagement pictures to get the style I liked. I HATE a bunch of posed, weird looking pictures. Danny did a great job mixing in the necessary posted shots with the candid looking shots. I say "looking" because I was surprised by how many candid shots are actually him telling you what to do, but when you look at the photo it still looks candid.

 



A's outfit idea incorporated our schools. Normally, as a UL grad, he wouldn't be caught dead in LSU clothes (except when I drag him to LSU games on non-UL game days); however, he suggested that we switch it up and wear each other's colors. UL's mascot is the Ragin' Cajun, so this shirt was perfect for the occasion. I really liked how these shots turned out.

My absolute favorite part of the pictures is how they looked on our save the date. It's still up on our fridge because I love it so much.

If you're in the market for a save the date or a last minute Christmas card, go check out Mink Cards. I'll be using them again!
