Birthday!

So yesterday was my 25th birthday!! Am I really that old?? I took Friday off to spend an extra day at home and it was wonderful!! It was so nice to sleep in my own bed that extra night. Kyle started off the weekend by welcoming me home with some birthday balloons and AMAZING gluten free cupcakes.

If you are gluten free or know someone in the Dallas area who is... There is an amazing bakery on Buckner behind the green spot. It used to be called Wholesome Foods Bakery but now I believe they have changed the name to Unrefined Bakery. Their food is incredible. Their banana nut bread is one of my favorite treats and now their cupcakes!! Thanks Kyle!!

On Saturday we spent some time running some birthday errands...starting off with a delicious brunch at one of our favorite spots, Company Cafe. They have amazing gluten free food but also just incredible food all the way around. Kyle's favorite dish is the venison tacos. We then went to do some birthday shopping which included some brand new toms.

Yes I am spoiled.

 

On Saturday night we had a family get together which was really nice. It was the biggest get together we have had in the duplex so far and I would say that it was a success! We're really proud of where we are right now and how great of a team we are, so it was really nice to share it with our family. And yes, I got many more delightful birthday treats!

Lately I have been in this ultra nesting mode at home and have really been wanting to finish (or at least not feel like we're camping!) our house. I spent some birthday money on Sunday getting a few items that have been on our "must-do" list for awhile.

Like curtains for the living room...

We got some curtain rods for the bedroom too but are still waiting to find the perfect curtains...When we were browsing at HomeGoods (one of my faves!), we stumbled across this gem...

 We have been looking for something else to go over the tv for awhile. Originally we had planned on putting a clock up but when we saw this painting Kyle and I both agreed that it was perfect for our room. Kyle's office building (and window!) is actually pictured in the painting. Personal and stylish! (We watch too much HGTV..and by we I mean me.) Those two seemingly minor additions have made the living room complete!

I love seeing our house come together like a home. Kyle and I are such a great team and it's really fun to blend our styles together and create things that are ours. I feel incredibly blessed all the way around! A special thank you to my mister for making my birthday weekend absolutely incredible. He does a pretty darn good job of making me feel special and loved all the time..not just on my birthday :)

Only a few more weeks here in Houston until I am back for good and I can't wait!!
