fill in the blank friday - FOUR!

So, it's 'fill in the blank friday!' But first, here are some sneaky pictures I took of Nate after one of our nightly tennis games this week at our apartment's court. After we play, while I'm cooling down he likes to do all sorts of tricks with the balls. And while he wasn't looking, I snapped some shots of him playing. ;)

That's my hubs! And now for filling in the blanks...

                 

1.   My favorite color is       green. Not lime green. Not dark green. I'm talking full on bright, happy GREEN.

2.  My travel destination of choice is    small towns with character. Whether on the coast or in the mountains, I just love going somewhere cozy where the people are friendly and where I can find things I wouldn't find anywhere else. I also think these places are where you can truly experience the culture of an area.

3.  My favorite  food is    pineapple and pepperoni pizza. Specifically, from Bellacino's.

4.  My happy place is   the bathtub. I know a lot of people think baths are gross and unsanitary. But there is nothing I love more than a long, hot bubblebath.

5.  My favorite saying is      "Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles; it takes away today's peace." I get very anxious about things and I need this reminder daily.

6.  My dirty little secret is  that I don't buy ribbed takes made for women. All my tanks/undershirts are Hanes and come from the mens department in WalMart.

7.  Something friends might say about me is that I    am really bad about calling people back, probably! I am the biggest flake when it comes to that. I try SO hard and then I always end up forgetting.

adventures in garage sale-ing...

Wow. So it has been quite awhile since this thing has been updated. But life has been crazy! It's the end of the semester so that means EVERYTHING is due and I have been going CRAZYYYYY with all the driving and schoolwork I've had to do. But it's finally slowing down and now I can get back to work on the apartment and relax for a little bit before I start it this all over again in June.

Nate and I have been back to Columbia for the past two weekends, so this is the first full weekend we've really spent at our new home. The weekend before last was my cousin's wedding shower and sister in law's birthday. And then last weekend we had our friends' (ReNee and Josh) wedding. Nate was doing the music so spent the weekend at the rehearsal and then the wedding.

Here he is hard at work at the reception!

This past week was my last week at school with my kids, which was kind of sad. :( I'm definitely going to miss them! But it was a good week! We went to the zoo and had a lot of fun! It was exhausting but a great field trip! This past week was also the week our friends Stephanie and Ryan moved up here. We helped them paint their apartment Thursday and then move everything in today.

Nate and I also woke up early this morning to find some yard sales. And we actually had some success! Nate got a computer for FIVE DOLLARS. And it works great! And it's worth wayyyyy more than that! And he is super excited! And he got his mom a new microwave! And I got some candle holders, a really cute brand new pair of J. Crew khaki shorts, new tennis skirt, and Champion jacket.

Also...I have a few more pictures of the apartment now! We got some cute nesting tables from IKEA that make perfect endtables. So here are some befores and afters...

Me getting ready to tackle the mess...

And there it is!

And here's the living room...

And two of our new tables!

And our makeshift china cabinet!

And our kitchen table!

We also planted lots of plants out on our balcony! We have tomatoes, basil, oregano and flowers. They're growing like crazy and very soon we'll be able to cook using our very on vegetables and herbs! Yummmmmmmm! :)

Our tomatoes and herbs.

My soon to be flowers! :)

So that is all. It's not super interesting but it's our life! And we're loving every minute of our new adventures in our new home! :)

Here are some more pictures I stole from Jen from our first trip up to Charlotte. I'm posting these since I don't have the camera and can't post anything else right now!
