Scarf Swap Fun!

I remember reading about Meredith's first scarf swap last fall before I was an "official" blogger, so when she hosted her 2nd annual swap this year, I knew I just HAD to join!

I was paired with the adorable Mateya over at "Our Journey From Iraq to the Altar", and I'm so glad I was because look at the cutie I received...


I love it! Thanks Mateya :) Check out her blog to see what I sent!

Also, I'd appreciate if you didn't judge me by this picture! Haha, I was up late studying last night, so minimal effort was put into my appearance today....obviously. I promise when I wear the scarf for real I'll match....and maybe wear some make-up ;)

4-0

I'm baaack! I didn't mean to take over a week long hiatus from the bloggity, but life happens I suppose! We've been busy, busy as usual, so I'll just start with football :) The Cooper Coogs are 4-0 for the first time since 2002 which happens to have been Rob's senior year at Cooper! We are all pretty excited about it! We beat San Angelo Central 2 weeks ago 55-21.


This past week we had a Thursday game, so that kinda threw the week off a bit...but in a good way it turned out. Our game was in Lubbock, so my mom and I decided to make a little day trip out of it and take advantage of some better shopping and Pei Wei! YUM! My friend Julie joined us for the fun, and we had a blast! I love girls trips!

The game ended up being CRAZY! First, we were late because dinner took longer than expected. Then, the game was delayed 45 minutes due to lightening. But it didn't phase the Coogs, they were on a rampage from the start and nothing was slowing them down! We were up 43-0 at the HALF! The guys came out to start the second half, and there was another lightening delay, so the coaches made the decision to call the game since it was pretty obvious who was going to take the win.

Rob had a JV game Friday night and was home by 8...it was so nice for a change! Then Saturday he just had to finish up some film work, so he was only at work a couple hours! They were back on the grind today, but it was fun to spend some time together :)

We also got to spend time with this sweet family of FOUR...

Baby Kipton was born on Monday, and I'm in love already! Sterling coaches at Cooper as well, so we've extended our "coaching family" by one :) Love this fam!

I've got a busy week ahead at school and lots of studying to do, but I'll try to share more from the last week soon :)

It's DONE!

Our furniture, that is! I mentioned yesterday that I had taken the pillows and our accent chair to be recovered, and it's already done! I can't believe how quickly she got it all finished...amazing!

So here are a couple "befores" just to remind you how ugly the pillows were...


And the accent chair...I liked it before, but I didn't want clashing patterns.

And here are the "AFTERS"...

A close-up of the new patterns...


Here's the new accent chair!


And one last picture...this is coming in from the front door...

I absolutely love it! I think everything blends a lot better now which is what I was aiming for.



One more hour and it's T.G.I.F.!!! :)
