Wedded Bliss

this weekend has just been fun-filled with happiness all around! the kind of happiness when two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together. Friday kicked things off with Lindsay & Nate's engagement and Saturday we enjoyed celebrating the new... Mr & Mrs Cohagan. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Bill & Casie - we wish you both all the best. Bill is a fraternity pledge brother of Jonathan's. They also shared their first "post-dorm" apartment together with David Ray - a memorable time for all involved and the beginning of a long friendship. We all had a terrific time celebrating with the newlyweds. Bill & Casie definitely know how to throw a party - there were good times had by all!

Surprise SUCCESS!

the last few weeks Jonathan and I have been in on a little secret and this Friday it was finally revealed with a successful surprise. Jonathan's sweet sister Lindsay and her fabulous boyfriend Nate are.... ENGAGED!! The ever romantic Nate whisked Miss Lindsay away on a beautiful tour of Dallas - by airplane! Jonathan and I were honored to be a part of the "surprise" by helping scheme a fake night out with friends in order to have Lindsay dolled up and delivered to her Prince Charming. For more on the engagement and the happy couple - follow this link to The Future Mrs. Riddle.

Here is Lindsay just after realizing she was the reason we were stopping by the airport!

Nate "officially" down on one knee for his soon to be bride!

Lindsay and Nate... we are both so blessed to have you in our lives and are so honored to be able to share in this experience with you. We cannot wait for the big day and look forward to all the fun family moments we will have in the future!

a new bed for Daisy!

so j and i went out on a mission the other day to find the perfect bed for our daisy. we found it at Foxy Paws and after a few weeks - it finally arrived. the perfect daisy bed for our Daisy!

the hopes was that with a new bed she might go from this....

to this....

isn't she just so cute!? if only she would STAY THERE!!!

so far we're a week in and we're about 50/50. only time will tell how "Operation: Get Daisy Off the Couch" goes. we'll keep you posted!

the BEES are GONE and their NEST TOO!

the BEES are GONE!! YIPPEE!!

we came home Labor Day to find the hive had vanished. it even made the recent community newsletter. we are so thankful for the answered prayer. Daisy (and the rest of the neighborhood) can finally enjoy the outdoors in peace.

on a side note... totally have to agree with DWTS judges. SUSAN LUCCI NEEDS TO EAT!! my love affair is beginning to end - the woman is way too skinny! sheesh. i'm truly afraid she just may break out there!

living room pics

so the family has been requesting some photos of the house... well we're still working on things but our BEAUTIFUL "happy anniversary to us" entertainment center just arrived this weekend! we LOVE it!! so please enjoy a few pictures of the living room and our latest addition. it is definitley a step-up from the coffee table the tv has been sitting on since we moved in!! (it so nice to have somewhere to rest our drinks again!) by the way - furniture shopping STINKS!!! it takes a lot of patience to find exactly what you want for what you want. good thing we had each other! we were about to throw in towel after a full day of shopping when we stopped in one last random store - low and behold - there it was. PFEW! we should be set in this department AT LEAST until our 25th anniversary!!

of course daisy had to make a photo appearance as well. it just wouldnt be complete without her!! (and yes, my hubby spoiled me with those GORGEOUS roses!) more photos coming soon... (dont mind "the dude" on the tv)

Welcome Miss Lainey!

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Jamie and Nick on their newest addition!!
