Bedroom Sneak Peek

I am determined to finish the bedroom this week since I am finished with classes and start back to school next week. I will post pictures of the final finish, but here are some sneak peak photos.

 There is paint on about 90% of the walls! We just need to finished the trim and touch up the ceilings. We used Valspar's Wood Smoke and I LOVE it! 
 I found a duvet set in this print at TJ Maxx for 38 bucks! STEAL! It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it was inexpensive and Py liked it-so it is a win-win. 
I've been seeing and reading that mixing prints is the new "thing" for bedding. I had been stalking Ross for sheets and just happened to stumble upon these for 20 bucks! YAHTZEE! I hope the prints clash well together and I can pull it off! 

That's all for now! Hopefully I will have finished product pictures to post by the end of the week!

Ruidoso, New Mexico

Py and I just got back from a very relaxing mini-vacation in Ruidoso, NM with his family. It is crazy to think that the last time we were there (4 years ago) we were just a few weeks shy of getting engaged and it was our first vacation together. The weather was PERFECT making it really hard to come home to 100+ degree temperatures. We drove up Wednesday night with Py's brother and met his parents, sister, and grandparents there. It was just what we needed and so beautiful. We stayed in a cabin a few miles out of town. There were deer everywhere that would just come up and eat right out of our hands. It was so fun! Here are a few pictures from our trip!
 The welcoming committee the night we arrived!

 I am in love with this picture of us. I will be framing it soon! 
 Py's grandparents, Mama and Papa. Loved spending the week with them! They are such a wonderful example to us of what a strong marriage is. 
 Our humble abode 
 Precious baby fawn that was in the yard one morning 
I love this picture because the deer looks like a kangaroo. They weren't very graceful on the wood steps or deck. 
 Just hanging out! 
 The whole gang at Cattle Baron's for Py's mom, Tina, birthday dinner! 
 Happy Birthday Tina! 
 I thought this was a neat picture. The deer were so gentle!

We had the best time and look forward to going back again! It was no fun coming back to the heat, but it was nice to sleep in our own bed again and see our pups!
