We are on the rooftop at Reata after we had just gotten engaged in front of the Fort Worth Court House. Apparently, Steven's grandfather married his grandmother at the same court house. He was in the military and had returned home ready to get married. When they got to the Court House they told him that he would need a parent signature because of his age. He went outside and in the same vicinity as our engagement he asked a woman he didn't know to sign for him.
This was at Moonshine at one of the events during our wedding week in Austin.
These are two of my students who were the violinists at our wedding, they played the wedding march, at our Rehearsal Dinner at The Oasis.
Steven's brother, Alan, officiated our ceremony at Vintage Villas on Lake Travis.
We spent half of our time in Oahu, Hawaii. This was at a restaurant in Waikiki on our honeymoon.
We spent the other half on the North Shore in Kauai.
DIY remodel of the media room in our house. Thanks to my colleagues throwing me a Home Depot Shower we were able to finish this project without spending much money.
My dad, Mike, helping out. I'm sure he was giving some great advice. He shared during this project that even though he had not ever been a fix it up kind of guy at home, he really did know a great deal more than he leads on.
Still working....
Finally finished!
I have finally joined the world of bloggers. The past year has been a whirlwind! Just to recap we got engaged 1 year ago, married 8 months ago, went on a honeymoon and began on our adventure in real estate. It has been very fun and we have learned so much in becoming investors.
In the eight months that we have been married our biggest adventure has been remodeling two houses. We started with doing a small project in our own home. We installed new wood floors, painted the walls, and put in Eco-friendly french doors. We have become addicted to the DIY channel, and an avid follower of Nicole Curtis on Rehab Addict. If you are in to doing projects yourself check her out at
Rehab Addict. Our first house appeared to be impossible to tackle in my mind, however Steven felt very confident in its' potential.
Be faithful in Small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
