Vacay Day 1 - Santa Fe

Earlier this month Chris and I took a little VACATION! Ever since we moved to Midland we have been busy bees getting our new house put together and starting new jobs. I was super glad we were able to go on this vacation and have a stress free time :)

Our first day was spent in Santa Fe. We toured The Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi and The Loretta Chapel; we did some shopping, drank chocolate elixir and drove up the mountain to see the Aspen trees changing color! OH and we ate some awesome food! If you are ever in Santa Fe you have to check out Clafoutis French Bakery & Restaurant and Backroad Pizza, you won’t regret it!

Clafoutis

Couple of Turkeys in our Hotel!

The Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi

we just finished walking The Labyrinth

for some reason this made me the The Sword in the Stone

it took a lot of will power, but we did not end up buying a St Francis

The Loretta Chapel

freakin huge tree!

Backroad Pizza (a DDD recommendation we recommend!)

Kakawa Chocolate House

  

Shopping 

Aspen Trees

this pose is called The Lindsey

 

Torinos (a DDD recommendation that we would not recommend)

 Beef Cheek Manicotti

Squid Ink Pasta

 

Which one, which one?

So after much deliberation....

And too many paint samples... 

We have finally decided on a paint color for the Master Bathroom.

The lighting is kind of bad but.... Drum roll please...Sea Salt by Sherman Williams (The really light blue under the most purple.)

This color has been one of the hardest to pick but I'm so excited about our choice!! 

The Piano Guys

Last month Chris surprised me with tickets to see The Piano Guys. Who da thunk that they would come to a place like Midland, TX :) Chris didn't know who they were, just that I love them. Last Monday we were able to go and see them in concert. It was INCREDIBLE!! Even better than I thought they were going to be and Chris actually enjoyed it (BONUS!).

 

I couldn't leave without a t-shirt!!

Texan Again

This weekend was filled with getting our cars registered and getting Texas license, but to make it official we had to hang our Texas flag. Gig'em Texas!

Home Home on The Range

WE CLOSED ON OUT HOUSE!!

...11 days ago!

July has been a crazy month! 

Chris started a new job,

 I chopped all my hair off and got a new job!

we moved to Midland, TX 

and we (Finally) closed on our brand new house!! 

Check it out!

Lately our days have been filled with putting stuff away and painting... 

The fire place is the color most of the house was and the walls are the new color that the kitchen, living room, and hallways are now.

What color should we paint the bedroom?

I like the far right! The picture makes it look darker than it really. Too bad I didn't like the far left, it has the coolest name - Sharkfin!! :)
