Mystery solved!

I don't know about you, but the old Why did the Chicken Cross the Road joke always puzzled me. I wondered, why would a chicken ever cross a road? Well, I just happened to stumble across the answer to this perplexing question a few days ago.

I was running in my neighborhood, minding my own business, and all of a sudden, a chicken crosses the road in front of me. My neighborhood is very suburban, mind you. It's not every day that I see a chicken there. 

So, the chicken ran across the road, a black dog chased it out of the house and up to the curb, but the dog would not cross the road. 

Then a lady in a mumu ran out of the house chasing the dog and the chicken, but she wouldn't go past her porch. 

It was too funny. Dog chases chicken, but is scared to cross the street. Woman chases dog, but it scared to be seen in public in her mumu. 

The chicken was running away from the dog and the mumu lady. That is why the chicken crossed the road. Mystery solved.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Wedding season is here! 

 

One of my best friends is getting married in 2 weeks in Austin and I have the honor of being her bridesmaid. Her sister is the maid of honor and we threw her a bridal shower a few weeks ago. The wedding colors are gray and yellow, so we tried to incorporate those colors into almost everything. From the yellow lemon drop welcome drink with gray sugar crystals, to the gray chevron chair she sat in ... yellow and gray were everywhere!

 

Olivia the cutest flower girl you ever did see

The lovely bride Ashley!

Oh ya, I upholstered that chair she's sitting in!

Even her plates are yellow and gray!

Party favor cookies

We also took a little bachelorette trip to Cancun and had a rockin time with our custom coozies.

 

 

2 Years and Counting...

Jacob and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary with a fun weekend getaway. I am so thankful that he planned the whole thing starting with a trip to College Station for First Yell. If you don't know what that is, read this http://yell.tamu.edu/firstyell. Our seats were in the Zone Club. They had ceiling fans. Amen.

A Freddy's Frozen Custard recently opened in College Station and if you know me at all, you know we had to go there. My favorite custard place, Shake's, closed a few years ago and I have been heartbroken ever since. I'm happy to know that the Aggies now have a place to enjoy frozen custard. It was a staple in my diet in college. :)

We stuck around for Midnight Yell Practice and we're so glad we did. Granger Smith sang "We Bleed Maroon" in front of a packed crowd of Aggies. It was epic. Not to mention I got an awesome kiss when the lights went out. Whoop!!

 Unfortunately, the Aggies went on to lose their first game in the SEC against the Florida Gators the next day, but at least it wasn't a blowout 17-20. We didn't go to the game, because we were on our way to our final destination for the weekend. 

Jacob surprised me with a trip to Stag Leap in Nacadoches, TX. I've never been to Nacadoches and always get it confused with Navasota. Imagine that. So he had to set me straight.

Stag Leap was a quite awesome getaway run by the sweet Collins family. We highly recommend it it you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Check them out. http://stagleap.com/. We stayed in the Deer Haven cabin and it was true to its name. We saw 6 deer one morning just walking around the property.

A huge thank you to my handsome, funny, genius husband Jacob for this weekend! I love you to the moon and back times infinity!

The Long Awaited, Highly Anticipated Chair Upholstery Blog

 In the beginning, there was an old chair. She was stained, dirty, smelly and in need of some love.

She needed an extreme chair makeover so that is exactly what she got.

The surgery begins...

Her springs were in decent shape so only a little TLC was needed there.

Her button tufts were very high quality, but not repeatable for a newbie like me.

And then she was naked.

Just having a new kooshy seat made her spirits soar!

Her back was a painstakingly slow sewing job.

She was so excited to have a comfy back!

Oh my, we are coming along quite nicely.

Wow, I have a nice profile, she said.

Check out the rear view ;)

Hot mama.

And she smiled.

                     So sad.                                                                                                                          Hip Hip Hooray!!
