A picture is worth a thousand words...

Or maybe a grand a piece in this case...!

My fabulous friend Dana!!

My friend Dana is so amazing and talented!! She is a VERY wonderful and talented artist. She paints, draws, and does photography in her spare time! She sent us the most GORGEOUS, hand-painted bowl for a shower gift! Check it out--she even put our wedding date on the bottom!

Check out her blog link to the right--Dana Ashley Designs. Look her up on Etsy.com too--she ROCKS!!

Flowers in bloom!

Check out my flowers from Jen and Mike a few days later. Look how pretty they are! They make me so happy!!

Mi casa es su casa!

We have the best house in the entire world! I don't know if it's just that I'm living in it now or what, but I just love it so much! It's so cute. Sure, it's a disaster right now with all my boxes all over the place, but I love it anyway!

Flowers!

Check out my daisies! Jen and Mike sent me "Congrats on the new job!" flowers--how sweet is that?! Best sister EVER!!!

Roommates!!

Well, I finally moved in--Steve and I are ROOMMATES! So excited! The Mom and Dad moving company came down from Cleveland to move me out of my "should-be-condemned-apartment" into our gorgeous new house! Thanks for helping us make our house a HOME!!

Here's some pics from the weekend:

Dad the Truck Driver drove down this 24' beast. Here he and Steve are unloading:

SUPER excited to actually see our gorgeous garden on a daily basis! Looks like my hard work pruning the butterfly bush paid off:

Check out our massive eggplant! Who knew they grew like this? This one is only about half the size of our last eggplant!

Mom helped me harvest! (Seriously, we only have 3 tomato plants. You might think we have an entire farm by looking at this picture)

Steve putting away our brand new knives--one of many very generous shower gifts we got last weekend. We're so thankful!!!

True confessions of a Quarter-lifer...

Guilty pleasure: Reading other people's blogs who have a WAY more interesting life than I do! My favs are travel blogs (people who travel to really cool places) and cooking blogs (people who can cook WAY better than I can--which is pretty much everyone...!).
