What do you think??

So Dustin and I were very excited to head out to Katy Friday to look at what they have done to the house. We arrive and they had 2 sides of the house bricked! YEAH! It was already dark so we did not get to see a whole lot, so we decided to come back Saturday. We headed back out Saturday had lunch with my Mom, looked at furniture, and headed to the house. Here is what it looks like now....


Here is our dilemma. We can not decide if the color of paint used on the trim is to light/yellow. What do you think??? Please let us know, if we are going to change it we have to let them know this week. I say it looks fine, but Dustin thinks it is to bright.

Will the Stress Ever End?

So as you all know, I am planning our wedding. Some how it creeped up on me and it is only 3 months away!!!! So at this point I am freaking out! Every time my Mom tells me another thing she needs to add to "her list", I get a stomach ache and have to leave the room. Although I have to say, in a half a week we have accomplished ALOT. There are so many small petty things I had forgotten about. For one example SHOES! Who forgets about shoes??? Of course I do! I really just want my wedding to be planned and I just show up and enjoy it, is that to hard to ask for? No seriously I have enjoyed the planning, and spending the time with my Mom, sister Court, and future mother and sister-in-law. Today we tried on my dress with my jewelry, and shoes; I have to say I look GOOD! My Mom just keeps saying, "I can not believe she is getting married". Along with the stress of a wedding lets add a house being built to the mix. The house has had a couple hiccups this week, but Dustin resolved them quickly. Hopefully the snowball effect of stress will melt away soon. For the sake of my sanity and everyone around me that is!

It has been awhile....

WOW...its been awhile since I've posted anything. Guess I'll just get everyone up to speed on whats been going on. Dustin and I are building a house in Katy in the Pine Mills Ranch subdivision. The house is coming along well. This past weekend Dustin, his Dad, and Reagan went and did some extra wiring on things. Thanks so much Papa Clark for coming in and helping us out. We could not have done it all with out you! Here is a picture of the house so far.
This week we have a orientation with the builder to do the sheet rock and then they start on the brick as well. They said it should be done by February 12, so I guess we will see what happens!. We also had a very busy, wonderful holidays! We left for Lufkin Christmas Eve, and Dustin and I agreed that is something we will never do again! The traffic was horrible and we were both starving, and it took us 3 hours to do a 2 hour drive! Once we got to Lufkin we had a wonderful time. We went to the Clark Christmas, and I got to meet all of the Clark side. After stuffing my self with every kind of food imaginable, we went to Aunt Sandy's for Chinese Christmas. That was fun, and I loved watching all his baby cousins opening presents and parading around. Here is a picture of Harley's first tractor ride on the new tractor.

Christmas morning we went to Granny's, again ate to much food, but had a great time. Friday was Granny's 80th birthday so we went to lunch at Cheddars and went back to the house for cake and presents. Below is a picture of Granny, her kids and the grand kids.


Saturday the 27th we packed back up and headed to Katy for Christmas with the Boeer's. That night we went to the Taste of Texas, my favorite place to get a steak, and once more stuffed ourselves beyond belief. You would think with a wedding in 3 months I would have shied away from all the food. Here is a couple pictures from the Taste of Texas.

Sunday morning we got up and opened our presents. This was Ryder's first Christmas, and of course he got more presents than any of us did! Here he is in his cute Christmas onsie.
Monday morning we got up and went to Eagle Pass to the Trigon Tubulars Camp. This has been a tradition that we have done for 5 years. We all had a blast enjoying the time in south Texas especially the sunsets by the campfire.

Thanks to everyone who made our Christmas so enjoyable!
