A few weekends ago, I helped host a couple of showers, one for my sweet friend/old neighbor Brooke Cheslek and the other for my childhood friend, Sarah May.
Brooke is having a precious baby girl in early November (Emmerson Claire) and Sarah tied the night@ the beach!
Both showers were so fun and everything turned out beautifully...I definitely learned a lesson though..NEVER again will I try to plan 2 showers on the SAME day.....I was a bit edgy most of the weekend and poor Nic had to suffer=(
I wrote this post weeks ago and just haven't finsihed...more pictures to follow....
Moving along...
Everything is starting to really come together with the house. Interior and exterior brick is complete, built-in's are almost all complete and interior paint, flooring, counter tops, etc is to be started within the next week. AHH... I STILL HAVEN'T narrowed down paint colors. I procrastinate SO bad.
Anyways...we are set to hopefully move in Mid November (end of November I'm thinking). I can't believe its coming together, FINALLY! My 1 wish was to be in before Christmas and I THINK it might just happen=)

Mock paint colors...we ended up darkening the painted brick color and going with a lighter grey trim (you can TOTALLY tell I just grabbed a white sample, its no where near the color of the motar, ha...should be more of a tanish color?!)
We had them add built-in's EVERYWHERE so hopefully I can't "grow out" of this house!
