The past 2 weeks...

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! So, here is a very random post with some updates!

- Hubby and I saw The Hunger Games on the opening night. We got there about an hour early and got in line. He was thrilled, let me tell you. Ha! We both loved the movie but I loved the book way more. There are just so many details they have to leave out in the movie. But, it was still very good and stayed very true to the book. My husband even liked it and he has never read the book. The only negative thing I have to say is... I had motion sickness thru almost the entire movie. We were in an IMAX and with the style of filming they used- I was SO nauseous! I had to close my eyes at least 20 times during the movie and convince myself several times not to throw up. I definitely want to see it again in a normal movie theater or just buy it when it comes out (duh) and watch it at home!


-Spring time in Texas is one of my favorite times of year! Everything is so green and all the wildflowers are blooming.




- Our pool is so close to being done! Next up they are pouring the concrete and stamping it then finishing the bottom of the pool and finally the fire pit. We hope it will be ready in the next 2 weeks!


- Just an FYI...gas is CRAAAZY expensive in California! It cost over $80 to fill up my little rental car, Impala!


- This Friday we are off to Augusta, Georgia to spend the weekend with my family and go to The Master's final round on Sunday!! WHOHOO!! My husband is a golfer and over the past few years I have started to love golf (not playing, but going to touraments) so this has become one of our favorite yearly traditions! This will be our 4th year going but our first time going on the final day. We are hoping Tiger is finally back to his old self (minus his terrible choices in her personal life) and can pull off a big win this weekend! How cool would it be to be sitting at the 18th hole of The Master's watching Tiger Woods win?!

Happy Hunger Games!!!

It is FINALLY here!! Opening day of The Hunger Games! I have waited for this day since I saw the very first preview for the movie while sitting in my hotel room in Park City, Utah :) If you haven't read the books you probably think all the hype over this is pretty crazy...but if you read them or see the movie, you will be hooked like the rest of us :) Hubby and I have tickets for the movie tonight...CAN.NOT.WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday...on Thursday :)



I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday so here it is now!

I am loving that hubby and I are going to see Hunger Games tomorrow night!! I bought our tickets 3 weeks ago...I don't think I have ever been so excited about a movie in my entire life!



I am loving our pool!!! It should be ready in about 3 weeks...just in time for Spring & Summer! The 2nd picture is the flagstone, stamped concrete and tile we chose for the pool and the little round stone is the color of the bottom of the pool!





I am loving the new rugs we just got yesterday!! We got them from Home Depot, of all places. If you have a really good Home Depot where you live, they have awesome rugs...or check online! There are hundreds!



I am loving that we are headed to Dallas for the weekend to help host a "Stock The Bar" couple's shower for some of our best friends, Chance & Laura. They are tying the knot in Dallas on April 21st!
