Just a little Autumn Sprucing!

It's been a while since I've posted. But we've been busy!

As you all may remember the house was straight out of the movie Jumangii when we moved in:

Well we've pulled up all the English Ivy, and dug up some ugly filler bushes.

Its a little bare now... but I've just learned of a place close by that we can buy squares of grass for a dollar each... I foresee grass in our future.

Reed has been working hard getting everything cleared out while were having this nice weather.

Ain't he purrdy?

He's hung up the lanterns that Mama got us for part of our housewarming gift months ago.

Then in the evenings we've been working like crazy inside...

We painted the office...

Put some decorative touches in...

I'm telling myself I've been redo-ing the guest bathroom. Got a new shower curtain.

 And I'm currently working on scraping up all the linoleum in there.... but that's a slow going. Pictures later.

We also put up ambient lighting on the art ledge in the living room.

I put up some autumn decorations

We've also had some really fun events recently. Reed and I celebrated our First Anniversary. Complete with the top layer of our wedding cake and champagne. We're hoping to have a fun getaway soon, since we got a little too busy to go out of town for the actual anniversary.

Another highlight recently is that Harrison came to visit us!

He brought his mom and dad too... that was nice of him. And cousin April and cousin Mandi came to hang out too! Harrison partied all the way til midnight with his mom and I.... Partied... laughed at us for being tired... I think it's all the same thing to him. :-/

Work has been going well for both of us lately. Reed has partnered up with one of his former bosses in Austin and now is a Cowart Door Authorized Dealer. Cowart Door does most of the high end, really cool garage doors in Austin. The wood overlay doors and even fogged glass garage doors... really cool.

So Reed has started doing doors like these in Houston!

Work is good for me as well. Very busy, doing lots of leases for now. But I am currently working with an investor who is planning on buying a few houses in the next 6 months! Added bonus is that he is wonderful to work with. I'm learning more and more everyday. And the other Realtors in my office are so helpful, always willing to answer any questions and help me out anytime. I really am loving it.

I just can't believe how much has happened lately. We've been married a year, bought a house, I changed careers.... wow. So much. Couldn't be happier though, I love all the projects and new things to come!!
