my hubby suprised ME!

woo hoo this weekend... well starting today after work we are headed to Frederickburg Texas!!! we are staying at a bed and breakfast and going to a lot of the wineries there and also plan to eat some and shop while we are there too! ;)





chan suprised me last night when i walked in from work... he said there was no time to go work out because i needed to pack... he told me where we were going and i was so excited i have always wanted to go! he actually kept it a suprise which is totally unlike him! way to go babe!!! i am so excited and happy birthday to me!

the picture above is where we are staying. we have some friends that have stayed there and loved it, thanks shelby and brandon for giving chan the great tip!!

woooo hooo, i really needed a little vacay and what perfect timing!!!

have a great weekend!

love yall,

kels.

it is that time again!

yes, thats right, its my birthday week... and you know what that means.... yes, one way or another i will for sure be eating a 'sprinkles' cupcake this week!

i still have pictures to post but i may just move on to the present... i am way behind on that!

this past weekend we went to a place called 'Poppy's' in downtown McKinney with matt and chels. we had such a blast and stayed til late eating and drinking wine and enjoying good company.

saturday we 'relaxed' pretty much all day... chandler had soccer practice for a rec team he will be playing with this fall. i really think he is going to have a blast!

we grilled out and watched tv and relaxed for the rest of the night.

yesterday was church and getting chandler's cousin erica's baby shower invitations done...they turned out great! chan went and rode his bike (lance armstrong style) with his brother tyler and i ran outside. this summer i have run mostly inside because of the horrible heat, but i decided to venture outside yesterday afternoon. i ran three miles in what felt like a MAJOR sauna. it was so steamy... not that hot but steamy, i felt like it was so hard to breath! but, hey, i did it!! i love running and i love that feeling of accomplishment i get after a good hard run!

we ate dinner and relaxed the rest of the night and got ready for the week i have deemed: MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!! yes, folks... i will turn the big 2-6 this friday so mark your calendars!!!

so today is a great monday because every day of my birthday week is GREAT! how can it not be?!

dont forget that tonight is the bachelorette finalle... i dont care if you make fun of me...i still watch it and will be watching tonight...

have a great week! i know i will!

love yall, kels.

a lot

we have had a lot going on so i thought i would write before i finally get a picture post on here to update our pictures.

lets see... our house is still on the market... we have had a few lookers with positive feedback but no bites yet... i am staying positive about this...

in june we had a Mill's family reunion in McKinney TX. the Mills is Chandler's mom's family. we had a great time visiting with ALL of the family from kansas that came down. it was great to see everyone and meet some new people from her side of the family. it was also great to have granddad here for a few days. we dont get to see that part of the family alot.

we have been out on the jet ski here and there when we havent had something to do!

for the fourth of july, everyone came out to our house. the diviney's the galloway's the farmer's kelly and austin and ife!! we had a blast out at our pool playing volleyball and laying out having a nice beer-rita or three. cody jeannie and judah were also in town that weekend so we spent some good ol family time with them too. they brought judah out to swim a couple of times and i got some precious time with my sweet judah girl. i miss them a lot, but maybe sometime in the future they will be close again.

also, tyler's (chans brother) birthday was on july 11.... we also went to a wedding that day. cody's birthday is today, he is 30.... CRAZY. also, our friend melvin's birthday is today too!

i feel like i am leaving a ton out, but maybe i will remember when i put the pictures up! i feel like i am still recovering from the fourth of july weekend... energy wise... i guess getting older means it takes longer to recover from fun filled weekends.... it was fun and worth it! :)

lets see.... my birthday is coming up! the big 2-6! weird... 25 felt like a big deal and kind of made me feel validated as an adult... 26 seems like the same old same old... i am excited for my brithday as i always am though!

anyhow.... i think thats really all i have to write about right now...

have a great week and a great Monday!

the little house that could.....

here it is folks.... the house that is for sale. it is 1790 sq feet. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. here are a few pics from the little flyer... just enough to get someone interested maybe.... we shall see.... we really need to be closer to Dallas for work. i work in uptown and chandler works by 35 and 635... so needless to say.... a move closer in would be great! if you know anyone looking for a great neighborhood and a cute house, this would be for them. we are at the corner of hwy 205 and hwy 78.... right smack dab in the middle of rockwall and wylie tx. close to a lot of stuff and so much is being built as we speak... new super target, new tom thumb.... etc etc.... send this to anyone you know that might be interested!

821 AUSTIN LANE is FOR SALE

i am going to post links and pictures on here ASAP...... but if anyone knows someone looking for a house near Wylie TX or Rockwall TX the house is right in between those in a great developement called GRAND HERITAGE.

send them our way.... we really NEED to be closer to our jobs and are looking to move to Lake Highlands if and only if our house sells.

keep your eyes out for the next post that will have links and pics of our house! say a little prayer for us that it sells and we get close to our asking price... we really need to break even on this one. it might take a while, which is fine with us, but we are trusting that God is in control of this situation!

thanks and love you guys,

kels.

my attempt at an update!

well, this post is my attempt at updating our blog....the dogs are on here.....thats benz in the morning wheile i get ready at my vanity... thats my grandmas chair and he loves to 'hide' under it, he just doesnt realize that he's too big.... thats bentley after our attempt once again to cut her ourselves. well, it didnt go so well and she has grown out since....

the rest are from easter and then from mothers day at our house with both our families.... one is of our new island for the kitchen that i love....one is my bike because i forgot if i put 'sheila' on here yet , and yes, thats just the bikes name, and no i didnt name her she came with that name on her already... chan has been brewing beer again and so one is of him in that process!

ok, now i promis to keep everyone updated.... my hair is about to change in the coming weeks....i know you will hang on the edge of your seats for that!! but, really, we will try to keep this thing updated better from now on.... promise!

kels and chan!
