Busy bee

I've had a bit of a busy week since my last post. We are on our third week at our new home and it is coming together little by little. We have planned our housewarming party for this weekend and trying to get a few things situated. Except our living room is pretty empty right now. Still no sofas, we are still sitting on our lawn chairs.

We are hoping to get a phone call from the furniture store to inform us that our sofas are in and ready to be delivered. Crossing fingers that tomorrow will be the day.

As for our dinning room, here is a picture of it with no decor.

I've bought a few items but we still need to paint. Leaning towards a burnt orange but that will happen some other day. I'm going for a vintage/rustic Tuscany theme throughout our kitchen and dinning room. We have taken a couple of trips to the antique stores and flea market (Pearland) to find items and have actually bought a few pieces. I will post pictures once I am finished with painting.

Other than house decorating & organizing, we had a good weekend with friends. Friday night we went over to a friends house and oh my god... we ate one of the best sandwiches ever. Mike and Roxxi really hit the spot with their grilled chicken three cheese sourdough sandwich. Need I say more?? They made their own sauces from scratch, some type of spread for the bread, spicey ketchup, and another hot sauce.

I can't wait to make it myself! Saturday, we woke up early in the morning and took a trip to the flea market. Later that evening, we headed out to our good friends Mike and Karina's baby shower. We had a great time full of laughter and so much food, thanks to our friends Juan Luis and Vegsady. Another night with tasty food. We had pork chops, brisket, sausage, chicken, ribs, dirty rice, mexican rice, potato salad and charro beans. Yes, ALL that food! We were so stuffed! We ended the night or should I say morning with LCR dice game. Such a fun night. We can't wait for Baby Jocelyn Odalys to arrive!

Sunday, we had another event. Our good friends Cynthia & Rigo were throwing a birthday party for the adorable 3 year old son Nathan. I loved the theme! It was at a Vintage Firehouse Station in Humble, TX. They had vintage fire trucks and took the children for rides. I took my niece Emily and nephew Noah. They had such a fun day and really enjoyed themselves.

We had a great weekend. We are exciting for the upcoming weekend, we are having our housewarming party. Our family and friends will all be here. We can't wait to have everyone over and host our first party. I'm hoping our neighbors are not too bothered with all the noise and traffic that day. Wish us well! That is all for now. Hope to post again with a post talking about a successful party and more decorating projects.

Buh-bye Blog readers! Until next blog.... XoXo, Judy 8A
