Happy 4th of July!

Yesterday we all went to Jordan's parents' house for a 4th of July family day.  Lots of yummy food and swimming!  I've been wanting to try this cake decorating technique for a while, and it was the perfect time!  Plus I LOVE the pennants!  I have big plans for all kinds of these cuties!  If anyone wants me to, I can write out a tutorial... just let me know. 

In other news, I had my last first day of school EVER!!  Yay!  That is the good news... the bad news is I have to be in Laredo bright and early Monday morning for a 2 week rotation.  Thanks for the heads up Dental School!  I suppose I got lucky in that I'm going with a friend, but still.  Yuk.  I'm sure I'll have lots of funny stories from that adventure!

Tick Tock

My summer is officially over as of Tuesday morning at 8am, which means I'm headed back to a building with no windows and no color.  Yuk.  All last year I had a plain black and white clock up on my wall in my room, and I always wanted to do something cute with it, but I was just too lazy.  I decided it was time (ha ha.. get it) to change it up and add color to my room.

Rings

One of the many photos my wedding photographer did NOT take was one of our rings.  I LOVE my ring, and wanted to show it off, so I took my own.  I took one on our comforter so it would match our room, with the intent to frame it. 

This is the original.

Then I Photoshopped it.

Then I blew it up and framed it. 

I love how it turned out! I eventually want to either buy or make a frame that is super thick and intricate and put it over our bed. For now, my thin sale frame will just have to do.

Summertime!

Lots of things have happened since I blogged last.  My superhero best friend, Traci, had her 3rd baby, graduated from dental school, and moved back to Abilene, all in one week. 

Meet James Edward King IV! 

He's so precious and I only had 6 days with him before they moved... so sad!

Right after I was done with school, I immediately went into an Oral Surgery rotation.  We were super busy, had some weirdo patients, and had lots of fun.  Thankfully I was with a couple of my really good friends, so it worked out great.  There are only a few people in life that can enjoy a good tooth pullin' with you!  After 2 weeks in my rotation, I left for my parents' house.  I was commissioned for a master bathroom re-model, but it turned out my dad had to go out of town, so I only painted a small half bath.  I love painting, and I got to paint it chocolate brown, so I was happy. 

Now I've been back for 1.5 weeks, and have done NOTHING.  I literally have sat on the couch reading books.  Vampire books of course, but still.... I've officially read 18 books since I got out for the summer 5 weeks ago.  That may be a little extreme... but I'm enjoying myself, so that's all that matters. 

While I've been reading, Paisley has been just laying around being all kinds of useless.  She had tests run this week to see how her liver is doing since we've implemented our changes, and she got a good report!  Yay!!  However, the tests made her sick and the poor thing ended up at the vet for a second time this week.  She needed her stuffed animal to make her feel better... ok, probably not, but it sure was cute! 

Jordan and I also started Weight Watchers a few weeks ago, and I've already lost 8lbs!  The downside to this is that I haven't been able to bake anything yummy for the last month, which is so sad since I just started enjoying baking.  We have friends coming over this week for game night and I just couldn't take it any more... so I baked an upside down pineapple cake.  It's beeee-autiful!

And there you have it.  That's what I've been up to for the last 5 weeks.  I lead a very boring life, sorry!!

It's the Final Countdown

Cue the 'Rocky' music.... It's the Final Countdown!

I graduate in 324 days, which means I officially have less than a year to go!

Weekend

My parents came in town this weekend, and we had so much fun!  Sunday we went to Fredericksburg to a couple of wineries.  We tasted a lot of amazing wines, and even got Jordan in on the action.

I have many guilty pleasures.  Raw cookie dough, vampire books/movies, ABC Family movies; and WWE wrestling.  I have always liked it, and my husband has recently rekindled the love affair.  I swoon for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson... yup.  When we found out they were coming to San Antonio, we just couldn't say no!  So last night, we headed to the AT&T Center with the rest of SA and watched WWE Raw live.  Oh man was it awesome!!  Here are some pictures of John Cena, including a video of his entrance.  Jill, please show Brody so he'll be super jealous!!

Please don't think less of us.

Cake Balls.... Yum!
