Final Graduation Invite....

I have been busy lately with making lots of graduation invites and announcements. It's crazy that there are so many people I know graduating this year. I have enjoyed helping everyone out with invites and making them. 
The last invite that I did was for a good friend that is graduating college on May 12th. I whipped these babies out in just a few days. Well they were pretty easy to do and she only need 20 of them so it really wasn't that hard. ;) 

Here is the invites that I made for her graduation dinner party....

Now that I'm done working on all the invites/announcements now I get to attend all the parties and celebrate this wonderful time with all my friends and family!! I can't wait. I look forward to sharing the pictures with everyone!

Arkansas Trip Part I

I'm a little behind on posting some pictures from our trip to Arkansas, but better late then never, right?! The second weekend in April Shane and I and another couple decided to take a little trip down to Mt. Judea, Arkansas a place called Sam's Throne for a rock climbing trip. Shane and his friend love rock climbing! They went down last year and said it was awesome, so this year the wives decided to go along and check it out. :) We headed out Thursday April 12th that morning and got down there around 5pm. We got camp set up and walked down to look at the scenery and it was amazing. It was so peaceful down there and I really enjoyed this trip. 

Here are some pictures from the scenery down there. 












I have more pictures to post of all of us rock climbing. Those will be posted soon so stay tuned!

My little sister will graduating high school on May 20th. I still can't believe this! I can't believe she is all grown up and ready to get in the real world. LOL

I had told her that I would make her announcements and invites for her. So I have been working hard on getting them done so we can send them out the beginning of May. I just finished them last week and they turned out super cute!

Weekend Recap

It's another fun filled Monday starting the work week. It just seems to come so fast anymore!
I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Our weekend was pretty good some points were busy but we did get some relaxing in so that is always nice.

Friday: After work we meet up with a friend for happy hour had dinner and some drinks. It was nice we haven't hung out with him in a while so it was time to caught up. After dinner we headed home and spent the rest of the evening watching shows on the couch.

Saturday: Shane had to work from 9-3pm but lucky he gets to work from home. When I got up I had a few things I wanted to get done. I made a sample graduation invite for a friend and got some of the card stock cut so I can finish them this week. I also cleaned our bedroom and bathroom upstairs. It was in bad need of a cleaning! After my few chores we just relaxed on the on couch till Shane was off work. I just got my gift card for Texas Roadhouse in the mail so we decided that was a good place for us to have dinner. It was so yummy!! After dinner we headed to the store since we couldn't do it on our normal day Sunday. After the store we just went home hung out had some drinks and watched shows! It was a nice evening in.

Sunday: I had 2 photo shoots booked. The first one starting at 11am and the 2nd was at 2pm. So I was pretty much out and about all afternoon. I got home around 4pm and we needed to figure out dinner for that night. We decided to eat out since I was going to be busy all day I wasn't going to feel up for cooking. We decided to eat at Pepperjax's, Yum! We brought dinner back home and hung out there and watched shows the rest of the evening. I need relaxing after my shoots and all the walking I did. :) I had a good time though and can't wait to get the pictures up to share.

Now starts another work week! Have a great one!

New Washer & Dryer!!

A few months ago our dryer at home went out, bummer tell me about! We both agreed to wait to buy a new washer/dryer until we bought a house. So I just have been doing washing clothes at home then running to the laundry mat to dry them. It was a pain but we needed clean clothes.

Monday after our weekend vacation to Arkansas, we had to do a bunch of laundry! We had to wash all our clothes and bedding from camping for 3 days, plus the clothes from the work week. I would said we had about 7 or so loads to do. So I got it all washed at home and ready to head to the laundry mat. The only thing we couldn't wash at home was our comforters so we had to wash & dry them there. As we are getting ready to leave Shane says this is a lot of laundry. LOL you think?! We started talking about buying a new washer/dryer set now. He was like you know either way we go I will have to move a washer/dryer when we move weather it be the old set or a new set. Good point! We also have been talking about getting a moving company to move our big stuff so we don't have too. So if we go that route he wouldn't have to move it anyways. When I brought that up he was like I never thought of that...Let's go shopping. LOL
So we went ahead and did the laundry we needed at the laundry mat then we headed out and went shopping for a new washer/dryer set.

We looked at NFM, Best Buy and Sears to price sets and check out the different brands and options on them. After about a couple hours of shopping we finally decided on the brand we wanted and headed back to Best Buy to purchase them they were cheapest there! We got a really good deal and a really nice front loading washer/dryer set. I'm super excited about these!

These will be arriving this afternoon! I do have some laundry to do tonight and I'm very excited to do it!

This is our 2nd big purchase since we got married!! :)

Arkansas Trip

This year we aren't taking a big vacation,since we are working towards buying a house. So instead we decided to do a couple little trips. One trip is coming now we are leaving in Thursday morning. We are heading down to Mt. Judea, Arkansas for a rock climbing trip. My hubby loves to rock climb and he has a buddy that loves it as well. So we are all packing up and heading down and will be back on Sunday sometime. 
I'm really excited for this trip just to be able to get away from everything and enjoy myself. I'm looking forward to taking a lot of pictures of the boys climbing and seeing my honey in action. I have never seen him rock climb so this will be fun for me! Lots of pictures to come. 

The place they are climbing at is called Sam's Throne. It looks really cool down there with all the nice scenery that I have seen online. Shane and his buddy went down there last year and he showed me some pictures from then. It looks like a good place for me to take some good and fun pictures! I'm looking forward to it. :) 

I won't be posting for a few days since we will be out of town and having a good time. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Graduation Invites

For the last week I have been working graduation invites for Shane's sister. She is graduating from college on May 5th. She had asked me to do these and I was very happy to help her out with planning her party. So I got busy because I wanted to have these done before out vacation this week, I needed to make 60 of these bad boys. I worked on them every night and finally finished them up Wednesday night. 
I think they turned out really cute!

I can't believe she is already graduating from college I feel like she just finished high school. Oh how the time  flies! I'm very proud of her and can't wait to celebrate this special day with her!
