Be a Good Egg

Seeing how this is the EVE of my BIRTHDAY MONTH, I would like to take this fantastic opportunity to remind ALL my friends and family that my BIRTHDAY is approaching. Get excited.

Happy Friday!

Yellow Door. Check.

After seeing this post on young house love, the idea of having a yellow door consumed my thoughts. I initiated my search for the perfect yellow for our front door and blogged this post. Well…I finally did it with 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of yellow paint. A black drab-like front door for us is no longer displayed. The door is now bold and beautiful.

I left the inside and outside crease of the door black. The inside of the front door is white but I’ll show you that side later. I got the crease idea from an image I saw on ish and chi. Now I need to spruce up the rest of our front porch with something. I plan to spiff it up this weekend. Any ideas?

A Run to Remember

This month in Oklahoma we remember those killed, survived and changed forever on April 19, 1995. This was a day of loss but also a day that our state came together to help those in need. To learn more, please visit Oklahoma City’s Memorial website. Each year Oklahoma City hosts the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon to come together again and remember.

Originally, I had set out to run the marathon this year. I even got my friend Taylor excited about this run. She began her routine and scheduled training around her law school schedule. While I started out bound and determined, I failed miserably with my training for this event. The run was held last weekend and Taylor finished her first 1/2 marathon. We're so proud of her and hope to run with her next year.

Scanning paper doesn't help the picture's quality but I couldn't resist. Tay's face as she crosses the finish line is priceless.

Leak is Fixed

Lee and I have been updating our appliances one by one. The dishwasher was on the list but seeing how it is birthday season in both of our families, we thought we would hold off buying a gift for ourselves. Well...sooner came rather than later. We noticed a big wet spot in the carpet of our dining room the other night. Turns out that our dishwasher's pump was worn thin and needing to be replaced.

I'm sure dad felt lucky to be in town when we noticed the leak! In this picture Dad, Cooper and Lee are trying to find the source of the leak. We were hoping only a hose needed to be tightened. Wrong.

Delivered yesterday, this is the newest addition to our family.
