(Almost) 1 year later


While the family was in town this weekend, Mom wanted to stop by the church we got married at since they haven't been in Dallas since the wedding. It was very nostalgic and we took a picture to commemorate the occasion. I can't believe we have (almost) been married 1 year!

and I love him more than ever :)

Headin' South!

We are moving SOUTH!

wayyyy south to be exact!

Fort Lauderdale, Florida will be our new home as of July 2nd. Crazy right!?! God has been so faithful in orchestrating all the details of our move down there and we could not be more excited to now BOTH call south Florida, home. This is Dwight's hometown and he is thrilled to be coming back.

I am a Texas girl born and bred so you better believe I will be brining my Texas roots along with me! I'm afraid that the "Texas pride" may come out in full force now that I won't be living there anymore and I'll feel the need to make sure that people know what my REAL heritage is! Come Feburary when its Texas Independance month, we WILL be flying the Texas flag from our front porch.

which brings me to our next THRILLING news...



As of June 14 2012, The Rogers are officially home owners! We can't believe we have a place to call "ours" and look forward to all the memories that will be made in this little place. I'll be posting pictures periodically of the changes will be making to the house. Fortunately, the house is literally in tip top shape considering the fact that it was built in the 1930's. We will just be doing some minor things here and there as we gradually dip our toes into the waters of the "DIY" world.

This weekend, we are hosting my family for one last weekend in Dallas. We have a few fun things on the agenda like going to see Jersey Boys and of course, playing some Top Golf. Once they leave Sunday, its game time for packing. Ugh, there's just no way around it, packing is definitely one of the worst things. Then starts the cross country trip in the Uhaul. Say a prayer for Dwight as he is our captain driving the truck the entire way as I follow behind in the car. We'll be making good memories doing this, right?!

The Head and the Heart

Spending this slow Friday at work listening to every single song this band has on youtube as my background music. I love this one in particular for its haunting vocals, simple melodies and cool cinematography.

I love maps!

so I have a strange fascination with maps and all things geography. Literally, i love looking at and studying maps. Call me a nerd if you want to but I have a pretty darn good sense of direction because of this!

Dwight affectionately calls me "map girl." So endearing, right?

So today, I found the cutest vintagae maps of Florida and Texas on etsy. I have been talking about getting something like this for awhile and stumbled across these today and snatched them up!






I can't wait for these lovlies to come in the mail. I plan on framing them in big white frames and hanging them in our new house...thats right NEW HOUSE! more on that next time!
