last days of summer

I cant believe it...school is only a weekend away!! Stephen and I have been busy cleaning our apartment and opening doors for mailmen with all of our school books! We finally got all things to do with financial aid complete...at last. The OT class had a cookout the other night that we had full intentions of attending however, our apt complex shut off all the water to fix a leak at the front yet let none of us know that was their plan. Therefore when we went to get ready...no water :( But to make up for that cook out we had a cookout with our life group the following night...we had a great time playing corn hole listening to music then the girls chatted while the boys played ping pong and cards. The past couple of days we've been going store to store making sure we have everything we need for school...we got toner for our printer (not a fun purchase!) Had to buy new running shoes for stephen...his had holes in them and no support! and well i got a pair of nike shorts yay (i think only stephanie secrest can appreciate the love for nike shorts!) That said...our un-responsible purchases are coming to a hault!
On the more creative side the stencil I had ordered for our wall came today! Lemme back up just a bit...while we were in Auburn Laura and I got a creative craving and decided we would stencil a wall in her bedroom! It turned out SO amazing...so i went and got myself a stencil and did it in a smaller scale! I love the way it turned out. In addition to the stencil, last weekend Stephen and I decided to make our home a little more us... so we did two accent walls! It looks so much better than all white walls! AND...we decided to paint the dinning room chairs...I LOVE THEM! They are so cute, I did an Heirloom White paint then went back and sanded the edges to distress it a bit. The paint really ties into the material we used to upholster the chairs. As of now the table is still stained a dark brown, and we are trying to debate...paint like the chairs or leave brown.

Stephen and I were able to celebrate his birthday much more than we antcipated...for a wedding gift we recieved a gift card to PF Changs, so Stephen and I went out to dinner and a movie for his birthday and had so much fun! We both shared a wonderful dinner and got to have drinks, I had a great chocolate/espresso martini and stephen...something blue that had coconut, his favorite! We then went and saw A-Team...great movie!

Our summer has been amazing, and we can only expect more to come once we start OT School!
