newlyweds and paint...

i honestly believe that if you can stay married after painting any part of your house...you can survive anything! although my mom said, "try building a house." i know she's probably right!

the latest happenings in the parden household includes painting and redecorating our master bedroom. we painted our bedroom chocolate and our bathroom green. nicholas probly wanted to kill me before we even started painting because there are wayyyyy to many shades of green to choose from! it all turned out beautifully...i will try to get some pictures up soon! i am doing most of my decorating through pottery barn and flea markets.

i put up green drapes that match the bathroom walls perfectly. my bedding is white and cream with some green and brown accents. we want to use old lanterns and turn them into lamps to put on our nightstands...i would paint them cream. i have added other little touches here and there. there is still work to be done!

we had a yard sale a few weeks ago and it was a huge success! we have sold most of our stuff that we wanted to get rid of! i pretty much got rid of all the fake flowers that were in our house...thank goodness!! i am getting things done slowly but surely! i am having to learn that everything cant be done at once.

we absolutely LOVE our home! i always look forward to going home! we couldnt be more blessed!

im a slacker!!

i havent updated in forever!! i guess life has gotten in the way. another reason is both of our computers are old and wont work half the time. oh yea...the BIGGEST problem is molly wont quit chewing up the chargers! once i think she is out of her puppy phase, she proves me wrong! today i caught her playing with one of my bathing suits...you never know what your gonna find her doing! heath and i think she is like a small version of marley (from marley and me). she is hilarious and crazy, but soooo loving and sweet!

last week was the BEST! my parents, suz and heath, and nicholas and i went to gulf shores for 8 days! it was wonderful! although it was terribly hot! we had a great time playing in the ocean, eating, sleeping, laughing, i could go on forever! my mom says she did things she hasnt done in years such as playing in the massive waves and getting in the swimming pool! it was great to see her and my dad have such a fun, relaxing time! molly and allie went of course and they were both very well behaved! it was molly's first trip to the beach. it sucks that it is against the law to take her to the beach...i know she would've loved it!

i am so blessed to have such an amazing family! i am even more blessed to have a husband who fits in perfectly with them! nicholas and heath are a lot alike and they get along great! we were sad to have to come home on saturday!
