Wow, it's been 2 years since I last posted. How did this happen? A few weeks ago, I was looking through old blog posts and decided it was time to start blogging again. Here's a brief recap of the last 2 years (not in order)...
Top 20 of 2011 and 2012
1. Surprise- Moved back to Houston from San Antonio
2. Missed- Mawmaw
February 12, 1924- March 3, 2012
3. Restaurant- Babbo, NYC
4. Event- Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas
5. Accomplishment- Passed the Texas State Insurance Exam
Oh my gosh, it was hard!
6. Destination- New York City
 |
| Live with Kelly and Michael Show |
7. Cocktail- Skinny Girl
8. Photo- Trent (my nephew)
This pose was unplanned, a total accident.
The photographer put Trent in the little chair and he struck a pose.
So funny! P.S. It was Valentine's Day.
9. Sewing- Shower Curtain
My mom MADE this awesome (and extra big) shower curtain for my new house.
I needed a custom shower curtain for the random, curved bathtub.
10. Purchase- Dining Room Chairs
I worked crazy, hard (normal people don't do this) and earned a decent bonus.
11. Furniture Refinish- Painted My Grandma's Old Dresser

12. Party- Trent's 1st Birthday Party
 |
| My Mom, Trent, and my sister (Jenn) |
 |
| Jenn had a GREAT birthday buffet. She makes her Hummus! Yum, I wish I had some hummus right now. |
 |
| The theme was "Sock Monkey." So many cute details |

13. Product- MAC Serum
14. Show- The Radio City Rockettes, NYC
15. Introduction- Baby Claire
My sister had her second baby in June 2012. We have GIRL!
"Let the shopping begin" is an understatement.
16. Subscription- Birchbox
17. Neighborhood- Audubon Place Historic District, Montrose
I am THAT person that must live in a certain area of town. It took me 9 months to find my house (rental). I lived in temporary house for 6 months while the majority of my things were in storage. So worth it!
18. Accessory- Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch
19. Project- Decorating and Organizing My House
It took 3 months with my crazy travel and work schedule.

ReplyDeleteLove how that dresser turned out. I'd like to do something like that but I'm not crafty at all.
The shower curtain looks just like the one my sister bought from Anthro. So pretty!
Trent and Claire are too cute. I can't believe Trent is a toddler now!
