big day!

The Dunnam's are one of the coaching families moving to Temple from Abilene, and we are so glad about it! The Sunday before last, Cassi & Aaron came to stay with us for a couple days while they did some house-hunting. Well some crazy things happened, and a couple days turned into the whole week! It was so much fun to have friends here, and Cassi and I had some fun when she wasn't searching for their perfect home. She helped me with some projects around our house, we made dinner every night, and ran around town with Roxanne.

Cassi is pretty much an expert when it comes to painting furniture, so I definitely took advantage of that! We (yes I helped..some) painted this desk, and it turned out so cute! I'll show you the finished project once the room it's in is complete.

(Mom...Dad...are you reading this? ;))

The day after the Dunnam's found their perfect home, we decided to take a short road-trip to Round Rock for some 'window shopping' at Ikea! Roxanne joined us for this momentous occasion...and momentous it was...my FIRST-ever visit to the mecca of home furnishings. We had so much fun getting ideas, and I even picked up a few things I already knew I needed.

We spent over 4 hours in there...that translates to over 4 hours of talking.

We were parched! Our little excursion wore us out, but it was a blast!

Anyway, all this to say they're MOVING HERE TODAY!!! If you could, would you say a little prayer that things work out as planned? They have a few days left until they're home-free, and I know they're MORE than ready for things to just be done and to be HOME.

Roxanne & Coach got their home this week, and it's going to be awesome!

Check her blog for updates on that.

Now we need the Berna's to get here! Not much longer!! :)

PS - Ness doesn't generally rock the goth look..but she does make it look good!

And we need this girl to get here! Then we'll be complete!

I know this season is going to be an adventure with friends NEW and old.

Fun times ahead, girls! I'm looking forward to it :)
