MIA

I have been MIA for the past week due to Vacation Bible School! I am part time Children's Minister for my church so I was a little busy last week with VBS and then going to my full time job. I was exhausted by Friday but I had a great week. VBS was amazing this year and everyone had tons of fun! I hope to post some this week because I still have things to catch up on like our one year wedding anniversary from May!!!

Fashion Diva for the Summer

So as I was enjoying the blogging world today I cam across a blog who had a post about swimsuits. I was interested to see what she had posted since I have had a traumatic start to the summer in the swimsuit area!

Last summer I purchased some really cute swimsuits from Victoria's Secret. I was going on my honeymoon last summer so I brought a couple, well more like 3 or 4! But I knew that I would be able to use them this summer so I had no worries. Well a few weeks ago as I was getting ready to swim at the in-laws I noticed that the swimsuits didn't seem to fit anymore, well at least the top didn't.

So I have been on the search for a more modest swimsuit and look what I have found.... Lime Ricki
I am in love!!! This is exactly what a girl like me has been looking for when she wants to enjoy the sun but wants some coverage! I am so excited and just in case you were wanting to know, I ordered this one!

Show Us Where You Live Friday

I am taking part is Kelly's Show Us Were You Live Friday!


Here is a little bit of our house history since I have never posted anything about our first homr. (This one is for you Katy! )


We bought our house 6 months before we got married so we had some time to "fix it up". Kory and I were both living at home rent free so it was a great way for us to be able to fix up our home the way we wanted and not have to live in the mess. Our families were so supportive and helpful during the whole process and we thank them for everything they did. Here are a few before photos of our first house....

Living Room

Kitchen & Breakfast Area

Master Bedroom

Bedroom #2

Bedroom # 3

Bedroom #4

So that is what we started out with and here is what the living room and kitchen look like now. (I wasn't able to post with Kelly last Friday so I am doubling up on Kitchen and Living Room.)

Living Room

My buffet table that I refinished and painted!

That wraps up our house for now! Although we have been there for almost a year, I still have lots of decorating to do. I would also love to update the furniture in the living room since it was given to us but when you are newlyweds you will take anything for free!! I hoped you enjoyed taking a little tour of our home and will check back next week to continue with our tour.
