Lavender

I love lavender:

- the way it looks

-the way it smells

-the way it tastes with champagne

-the way it reminds me of France, of where I come from.

Hooray for little reminders.

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...

One of my favorite parts of my wedding is not necessarily my dress or any of that crap but the flowers for my hair. I just love the idea.
So for the ceremony....one big gardenia

then to be more fun a pink runuculus for the reception:

Yay flowers!! The wedding seems so far away and so close at the same time. especially these past two weeks I have a lot of change coming my way and now I'm excited about that as well.
More on that later...

Great Weekend

This weekend The Newtons came to visit us in Houston!!! It was just too much fun. This couple is good for my soul. Its so nice to have a couple friend that we can just hang out and watch tv and be ourselves. We had a wonderful dinner, we did some preparations for hte superbowl party. The newtons were extremely thoughtful and helpful with all the party preparations!

The weekend was particularly special because the newtons brought their wonderful pooch Mia. It was Tobi's first play date and it went so well. The dogs got along great- Tobi loved Mia. They played so well together. I know Tobi keeps looking around for her pooch friend. The good news is that we are going to austin this weekend so a double dose of the newtons. I couldnt ask for a better two weekends.

T-Payne

Here is the latest picture of T-Payne as we affectionately call her. Its times when I'm in Dallas and I look at these pictures, that I really miss her. She a cutie pie.

I love Lemon!

Not only do I love Liz Lemon, I have learned to appreciate lemons. My mom was always someone who had lemons in her kitchen. I never really knew what was so great about lemons until lately. Lemons make everything better, I've used it to make the lightest and fresh tasting lemon pound cake, to make a sauce for chicken, and to spruce up a pasta. Not only that but when you put the lemons down the disposal they make the kitchen smell wonderful! Now, good ol' martha has the idea to make candles with them. I would love to try this...

Can't wait to get married here

I love looking at pictures of the Barr Mansion. It just gets me so excited! :)

Little Miss Tobi...

..is a handful. This little bundle of joy is a very excited puppy. She has two phases as we call them- Party Tobi and Sleeping Tobi. Nothing in between. But we are enjoying every minute. She loves a good Toby Keith song, leaves from the yard, tennis balls, peanut butter,

and howling when no one is around...
