Hat Party!

My friend Brittany had a hat party on Monday at her new apartment and it was so much fun! We took lots of silly pictures and she had crazy hats set up all through the house so we could switch every hour or so... so much fun!

so... I've been having lots of fun and taking lots of pictures!

I have a fun Saturday planned, so more pictures next week. :) :)

Volunteer Debut!

Tonight is my first night to volunteer for the Fayetteville animal shelter, and I honestly couldn't be more excited!!

A local (Gulley on Township) park does a Summer Concert series and this will be the second year for the shelter to take some dogs down and try to get them to their forever homes! Jill, the vol coordinator told us a story about how they took a basset hound last year and it just laid on a blanket with the couple the WHOLE entire night... and then they called a couple weeks later and said they just couldn't stop thinking about him and had to have him :) Awww!

So if you're in Northwest Arkansas- stop by Gulley Park (concert starts at 7:00) and say hi! Nathan Hamilton is playing and the website says this about him:

Out of Austin, Texas Nathan Hamilton first came to musical notoriety by winning the New Folk Category at the nationally-renowned Kerrville Folk Festival. Hamilton’s original music moves easily between the realms of folk, texas roots country, and indie rock, and his band No Deal has received rave reviews. His latest release Six Black Birds was selected as a top 3 finalist in the Indie Acoustic Project's "Best CDs of 2007" awards in the Alt Country category. With five award-winning albums to his credit, along with multiple tours of Europe including the Netherlands and the UK, you won't want to miss Nathan Hamilton's first appearance at Gulley Park.

It should be a fun night- and I'll have pictures later!!!!

Our House (Is a very very very fine house)

In celebration of my best friend moving into the coolest apartment ever (go look and see!) I thought I would put up some pictures of my house! I don't have an elevator or a three section pool...but we have a hammock! (ha)




The front of my hizzy... I've been messing around with the software editing that my camera came with, and it's really confusing to me. You can see on the bottom left where I tried to edit out the bumper of Eric's car but it didn't quite work out. Guess it's a good indicator that I would be completly and utterly lost with Photoshop! (Plus I have to disguise the color so Kayla won't see it on the road and "pop in" without me cleaning first- muhaha)

View of the fireplace and into the kitchen. You can see some of our kitchen table... it seats like 10 people. There are two of us here. Sigh.

View from the front door... don't mind the dirty couch, it's Chuy's favorite place to guard/hang out. Eh, might as well let him- it's the only place where he can think he's a normal size.
The fun bathroom! Just funny random pictures and a couple chinese lanterns- but I love it :) The top one says "Let's Shop" and the little one says "Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize" There's a couple more on the other side that you can't see- and I def. know how lucky I am to have Eric let me do cupcakes in the kitchen and a silly bathroom too!
The bedroom with our pretty new furniture. Plus a Chewbacca. Oh and my model friend.
The children's "area" I tried to move them out of the way into the extra bedroom- but it turned out quite tragic... so they are once again smack dab of the dining room.
The man-cave. I can't be held accountable for how messy it is.. I had to sneak in just to get a picture! But they have all their tacky posters, dart board, poker table, tv, and 3 cast off couches in which to lounge- so I guess they're doing all right.

Hanging out in the backyard.

And some of the yard... I don't actually keep the rocking chair in the middle of the yard.. Um, just trying to break it up a little!

So that's about it... it's usually pretty messy and sometimes I feel like I'm 42 instead of 22 with how much I worry over bills and everything, but it's still ours (kind of) and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Happy Birthday BFF!!!

Today my sweet best friend is turning the big 22!!

Eric and I popped over to give her some delicious treats:

Rick's Bakery thumbprint cookies and a chocolate covered strawberry cupcake, mmmm!

And since she's moving to a new apartment (right by my house, woo-hoo!) with no tanning, I got a month unlimited tanning at TLC!

Two parts of the KKK.

Love you Kayla- Happy birthday! Pop over and give her some love!
