Hi Melis!

Found this photo going through pics from our ADK trip this summer. I think you should come visit me soon so we can have more moments like this :)

See Charlie Swim

A few weeks ago we took Charlie to the local reservoir for a swim. It was great to be around water for a bit and we were able to take a really quick and easy hike to get there that gave us some beautiful views of the Springs.

I think he's like the dog version of Michael Phelps... don't you? ;0) I love days spent by water and hope to one day live much closer to it again.

Brrrrrr!!!

The view from my front porch this morning-


Is it really just October!?

Fall!

Today it is freezing here in Colorado Springs! It's one of those days that just looks uncomfortable and makes you want to stay in bed all day under blankets.

It makes me wish for Fall weather even more! So, I've been enjoying some of the pictures I took on a recent walk with Charlie.

I love Fall for so many reasons and can't wait for it to come back!

Is $600 too much to spend on the possibility of a future filled with dream-filled nights?

I'm in love with this bedding from Anthropologie. I think it would look perfect with my new bedroom paint colors.
I plan to dream tonight that this goes on sale for half the price :)

Happy 4th!

 

Saw fireworks after a minor league baseball game on Thursday night. Happy 4th to all!

Three Years

Today is Dan and my three year anniversary of being homeowners of our house at 315! It is hard to believe that three years have already passed.

I remember when we bought it, I made a list and timeline of all of these projects I was going to be able to get done in the first year. There must have been about 100 line items on that list and I've probably gotten to about 10 of them in three years.

In a lot of ways we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we decided to buy a house, yet alone a 105-year old house that needs some work. There have been some near catastrophes and all of my projects can definitely wear on Dan's spirit, but it's been a really good learning experience from us and has given me a place to focus my efforts outside of work.

Knowing that this three year anniversary was looming, I recently started completing some more of the items on my to do list and hope to be able to share them on here over the next few months. To start off you can see my recent dining room painting escapade here, on the blog I share with my siblings.

Today is the start of a three-day weekend for me! I'm off to the big city in search of some dresses for upcoming wedding events. I'll update on my finds later :)
