July

Wow, this year is flying by...I can't believe we're already in the middle of July. Things are good here in the Love house. My parents came to visit us for the 4th of July, while they were here we kayaked on Lady Bird Lake to watch the fire works. It was the best fire work show I've been to in years. I definlitey recommend getting out on the lake for the show.

While my parents were here they helped put down new base bords in the house. We're now one step closer to having the house back in order. But I'm a little hesitant to say that...last month a snake broke our garage door and this past weekend our fridge went out. It's always something! Below are a few remodeling updates. Before and After's.

Kitchen & Dinning Room

Bathroom New Paint (thanks honey)
New Tile - Still a little dirty
New Carpet going in - No more concrete floors!


Little Baby Spike


Macon is happy the summer is here.

She was not happy with the stormy weather we were having back in May.

Mom & Dad have a new addition to their family, her name is Lexie

Long Time

I know, it's been a long time since I've posted about anything. I'm not as good at blogging as I thought I would be. I will try to get better. Promise. So there has been a lot going on lately.

I just completed another wedding with STC. It was the first all inclusive package with Angel Springs. I have to say it went great! I wish Laura and Brett all the happiness in the world. It was so nice to work with Laura's family!

STC was also featured in The Knot best of 2008. Woohoo!! Congratulations STC!!!

Dad celebrated his 65th birthday a week ago. Happy Birthday Dad!

St Patricks Day

A few weeks ago I went to an Obama rally, Town Hall meeting with Obama and John McCain spoke at Dell. I even got to take my picture with the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry. Here are a few photos from those events. :o)

Taking up the floor. I worked this machine all by myself!

However I didn't lay the tile.

On Sunday I participated in a "Trash The Dress" photo shoot with a couple of really great girls, Kendale & Katie! I love you both! We had a blast walking around downtown Kyle, laying on concrete, sitting on the rail road tracks and hanging out at the fire station. Of course our pictures were taken by no other than the ultra fabulous Lisa Woods. Lisa is the reason I'm obsessed with my wedding, still! Here are just a few teasers from the day, I'll post more later.

Wedding Photo Album

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Lisa Woods - Now & Then Photography? She has created us a wedding album. Here are the pictures that will be in our album. Sweet Memories!
