a weekend surprise

first of all, i'm sorry this has turned into more of a "house" blog lately and not so much a "wedding" blog.  honestly, other than ordering some small stuff online for the wedding, i haven't been doing much.  the big things are set.  3 out of 5 bridesmaid's dresses are ordered and the other 2 will be ordered in the next week or so.  my dress isn't in yet.  the boys still need their tuxes but that's much easier than dresses!  a few things can be done the next time johnathan and i go to the beach (which will hopefully be this weekend.)  so i kinda feel like we're stalled.

i guess our focus for the last few months has shifted to buying a house!  we closed last wednesday on our house and are very excited!  i've been over pretty much everyday to do something or just walk around and look!

this past weekend, my friend and bridesmaid, sarah, took a little road trip to roanoke rapids, nc for rapids jam...a 3 day country music festival.

before i left, johnathan told me i might have a surprise when i got back.  he loves his surprises.  of course, as soon as i got home i started to ask him about my surprise.  he reminded me that he said i "might have" a surprise.  so after lunch at zaxby's, our plan was to take the VERY heavy kitchen table box over to the house on the back of the wrecker.  when i walked into the living room at my mom's house, i realized the table box was gone.  shows how much attention i pay to things!  it definitely wasn't there last night either!  so, i knew something was up.  we drove over to the house and i noticed he'd sprayed the ant colony that had decided to march up and down our porch column.  i walked on in the living room and there sat the couch and loveseat that we'd decided to buy!  SURPRISE!  i was really happy!  apparently all the furniture got to ride on the roll back thursday night!

after some hugs, we went on with today's project of putting together the kitchen table that i bought over memorial day weekend.  it's super cute and it's counter height so it'll be fun to sit at!

here's a pic of johnathan...aka...bob villa...putting together the table.  actually, he was trying to tell me that the table legs were too short and we were going to have a midget table.  ohhhh johnathan.  :)

it was a pain in the butt but he finally got the whole thing put together!

while he was screwing and tightening, i was decorating!

i just love my canisters from crate and barrel!

it's starting to feel like a home!
