I have the most WONDERFUL boyfriend I could ever imagine and today is his birthday! I am so excited to spend this day with this unbelievable, handsome, kind, smart, PERFECT man. I ADORE HIM, and am the luckiest girl in the world. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK, I LOVE YOU!
We have been painting for days! Preparing to paint seems to take forever, but finally today I got to put the actual color we picked out on the walls. IT LOOKS GREAT!!!! The pics make it look pretty blue, but it is actually more grey. The exact color is Academy Grey. I will paint the last wall in the kitchen tomorrow and all that will be left is new lighting. I am so excited that this project is almost finished. Thoughts on the paint? Do you think we should keep the bottom half of the wall white? I need opinions.
My friend Chrissy "Fancy" was in town last night for work, so we went to dinner at PF Changs. It was YUMMY! Great to see you Fancy. I just love seeing friends from Mississip.

I am slightly obsessed with JCrew, so just thought I would let you know they are doing an additional 30% off all sale items. Happy Shopping!
And there were lots of choices. We were really just trying to see what was out there for the kitchen. Well, Rick found a fan/light he thought was just perfect. Please see below.
I laughed and thought he was kidding, but sadly he wasn't. He thought it was so cool, and it would look perfect. If you can't tell it is a light in the middle and has 2 fans, seriously? He really liked that fan and still talks about it. I had to pull him away from it and move on to the paint, which is what we have been doing all weekend. not actually painting but priming and repairing, getting ready to paint. I will post pics of that soon. 
Last night Rick and I went to Beth & James' wedding reception here in Bham. I could not be happier for these two, they are a perfect couple. CONGRATS!
Just ordered Dave Matthews Band tickets for Bham, April 20, 2009! WOOOHOOOO! Happy Valentines Day to me, thanks Rick!!
Doesn't it look GREAT??? I LOVE IT!!!
Now there are just a few things left, painting the other walls and door, the lighting fixtures, bar stools, etc. Just minor details. I am just so excited about it all!
The decorations were AMAZING! All sports themed, and just fabulous. (we were not in charge of this!)
Rick, Gannon, Brad Duffy (proud papa to be), and Stephen. Guys just love baby showers with beer!
Had to wear my cowboy boots, since it was Nashville.
Our friend Chad lives in Memphis now, and he drove up to help us with the celebration. Pretty sure he did most of the celebrating 42 red bull and vodkas and 23 beers later.
We had a blast! So good to be around 2 of my favorite people!
was at our door. Katherine and Mac sent this gift box of meat for Rick's birthday. For those that do not know Rick, he is a TOTAL meat and potatoes kind of guy, and he loves this sausage. SO, this was the perfect gift. He is going to try to put sausage in everything. I made dinner last night and he tried to put the sausage in my chicken casserole. Not to mention the 8 lb slab of bacon, WOW! Rick loved his meat box. Thanks Katherine & Mac.
Our friends Kat Stewart & Brad Gannon got engaged on New Years Eve! I am so happy for you guys, and can't wait to share this exciting time with you. Another FABULOUS couple.
