Game Day Dresses and House Updates

War Eagle! The Auburn Tigers took another victory on the Plains this weekend as we battled to the very end against South Carolina.  Josh and I have been huddled up at home determined to save all pennies we have towards our new house project :-) and also because we both are sick with colds.

Today is a rainy day and I finally felt well enough to finish Sarah White's game day dress.  I have made a total of four thus far and cant wait to make more as my new patterns arrive that my sweet mother bought me :-)

Below are the pictures of the latest four

Yay! War Eagle!


Alright, so housing updates!  Well I did a little facebook digging the other day and found some model home pictures that look so good!  Josh and I are 98% sure we have picked out our lot and house plan.  As of right now, we are waiting to hear back from the builder and the bank about some upgrades and general questions.

My parents have been unbelievably helpful in drafting questions I wouldnt even think to ask and I am so excited about this next step. I think December is the month we wish to break ground and what a perfect Christmas Present! A new home that will be ready just in time for our wedding and honeymoon chapter in our lives!  It is such a great feeling to be a Auburn graduate, Auburn employee, future wife and home owner!!

I'm so ready for Monday to come so my emails will be answered!  Keep watching as more will be posted soon!!!

Auburn vs. Clemson Game, New House, and Sewing Projects

Well this weekend was the Auburn vs. Clemson game.  Talk about stressful.  Not only was it extremely hot, but I nearly passed out from anxiety watching Clemson kick the final field goal and miss by a mile.  So I bought my first sewing mannequin today.  I've decided to start making my own game-day dresses and selling them to friends and Auburn fans.  So check back as I continue to sew and create fun outfits!

I wore a new dress, which Ill post pictures of shortly, this past weekend and SO many people asked me where I got it!  I told them I made it and everyone wanted one!  Josh and I have decided to build a house and are going to the bank this Friday to see how much money we can borrow.  We really want to get out of our mobile home and move into a sturdy house with real door knobs, counter tops, and smooth ceilings.   Not that I am not grateful for what we have, but every time I try to close the door to the office, the plastic door knob comes off in my hand.

Not the kind of lifestyle we are looking for now that we are both working people. :-)  Below is a picture of the house we are going to build!

I just love it! I don't like the outside colors, so we would change that, but other than that I love the look!

Keep checking back as I put pictures up of my new dress creations and updates on the banking adventure!

First Blog Post!!

Alright, so on the days where work is not as exciting as usual, I have lots of time to Google and talk with the student workers.  A very exciting, up-to-date girl named Sarah White is constantly twittering, face-booking, and blogging.  After little persuasion I finally decided to get a blog and a twitter.  I already had a facebook but now I am decked out in all the new modern internet do-dads.


Keep posted as I love to talk about my favorite dogs on my fiance's farm and Auburn football. We play Clemson this weekend.  Originally being from South Carolina, I am not a big fan of Clemson OR Carolina. :-)
