GoGo's

On february 5th, my friend Cheryl and I went to the House of Blues to see the Gogo's

I've never heard about this band before Cheryl told me that she wanted to go see their concert, and I'm very happy that she did! It was great! We had the best time even if it ended quickly (no encore)

Now I'm in training to become a rockstar!

Ryan's visit and pictures of the house

Sorry it took us so long to post some pics of the new house but we didn't have internet hooked up until last wednesday. I think we are finally settling down and realizing this is it. We have lots of plans and ideas for the house, but first we need to get some new furniture, next weekend will be all about Ikea!

This weekend, Jay's friend from college Ryan was in town. It was a beautiful weekend so these are pictures from outside (picture of inside the house to come very soon)

On friday, the guys went around town, visiting the Dallas Modern Art Museum and the Nasher sculpture center (pictures later) and on saturday, we went to Fort Worth to visit the Modern Art museum and the Stockyards, and of course we had a drink at Sundance square (we did go see a very bad movie, but that's another story...) Sunday was relaxing with brunch at Jeng Chi and then a nap at the Arboretum.

Our house. Yeah!

Our chimney (it's so pretty)


The sunroom, best part of the house!


The hammock, ready for my dad!





The banana tree. It's short right now but will grow very very fast with the hot weather.


It's already starting...




The rosemary bush


The great light we have in the garden, it's very disco!

Winter

Another evening spent walking around the lake, we will be spending even more time than before there because our house is so close. We finally closed on wednesday and will be moving this sunday. Pictures to come of course!
But for now, the winter sunset:

New appliances

We are getting the new house very soon so we bought a fridge and a washer and dryer. We might have to change the fridge for a smaller one, we need to check for the actual space we have in the kitchen. The one we got is LG and it's a titanium fridge with side-by-side door, it's really beautiful! Our washer and dryer are LG as well, the Tromm ones, I can't wait to try them out!
Here's the pics so you can tell us what you think!
