Extreme Apartment Makeover!!!

These are the before! The after will have to be tomorrow when I can get some pics up!

Spray painted all our old frames black! Check out the new lamp too! ^^

Star wars!! 

This weekend was FULL OF ADVENTURE!!! 

It started out with a fun day at the pool with Britt's family, followed by cake and presents!

Britt got great gifts! Aunt Radonna, Shane, and Grandma got him Wii Resort, Mad Gab, and his favorite black V-neck shirts!

On Saturday we went to church to talk with the pastor that's going to marry us. We're getting married in 38 days!!! I can't wait to marry my very best friend!! Also, if you ever get a chance, please listen to The Village Church's podcasts...seriously the most biblically sound church that I've ever been a part of!

Saturday and Sunday were Extreme Apartment Makeover days!! Britt and I were totally surprised with a very nice gift from his mom. She took us to Target and we were able to pick out some black-and-white decorations for the apartment. We also chose red as an accent color, which turned out great! 

We would never have been able to add all these homey touches to our apartment until after the wedding, but I'm glad we were able to now! It was so fun finding all little pieces that all finally came together to make our apartment what it is now! We also got new bathroom decorations (VERY much needed), but I still need to take pics.

On Monday (Britt's birthday) we went to the Air Force/Naval Base in Fort Worth and we all had a blast! 

This weekend was a bit of a blur, but it was nice to hang out with everyone! 

Oh! And Britt got to add the "icing on the cake" that pulled our living room together! See if you can tell what it is!! :)

(Thanks to Britt, Amanda, and Ronnie for helping us with all the new changes! And ultimate thanks to God for His provision through all of this!)

Black and White!

Britt and I are making some major changes to my (almost our) quaint little apartment. I wish I had taken some pictures before hand but I really didn't think of it until after things were done. Oh well!
Anyway, it had alot of Japanese-style decorations because Britt's family lived in Japan for awhile, so when his mom was getting rid of stuff, she gave it to me! We also hit up some big garage sales so I could get a kitchen table, chairs, barstools, and a coffee table.

Did everything match when we first got it? Nope. But it really helped when I had absolutely nothing when I moved in! So now that we have a little money to spend on some furniture, we're gonna get more of a contemporary theme going on.

Black and white.

We pretty much spray painted everything black that wasn't....Candle sticks, DVD Holder, Picture Frames, and a side table. They all came out great! (Thanks Britt!!)
We can only make purchases little by little, but it sure makes things look more homey and tied-together in the apartment!

I'll post pictures soon!

If you have any ideas for black and white easy decorations let me know!

For Memories' Sake

So after much inspiration from friends and family who have been doing blogs, I figured I'd jump on the blog-wagon too. I really like to journal but sometimes it takes a long time to write everything down by hand. I like to look back at pictures/entries/memories just to read and reminisce. 

Right now I am on an adventure....

I am getting married to my best friend, Mr. Britt Holmes. 

This guy has my heart.

He is a man of God.

He is incredibly patient.

He is incredibly handsome.

He's stinkin hilarious.

He loves the Lord and pursues Him daily.

He leads me and loves me in a way that can only be God-given.

I absolutely cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him.

46 days until we tie the knot!! ((Check It Out!))

Adventure is out there!!! :) 

(Name that movie)
