lately

Hi blog friends! 

Heres a bit of what I've been doing lately...

My mom, brother, Lauren (Casey's precious gf who is taking the picture) and I...  

went to see Lady Gaga last night...yep my mom is super cool and sorry for the bad picture quality.

we saw some pretty neat peeps but these girls were my favorites! So many cans in the hair and tons of crazy heels! LOVED IT!

and lots of these...which I super love!

Lady Gaga was by far the best concert I have been to. Gaga's clothing = amazing. I really appreciate that she doesn't give pop culture what it wants and instead just does whatever the heck she wants. 

Okay, so gaga was pretty much my favorite part of my "lately" post but here are some other things that are still fun...

After a long search, we finally got a chiminea!

before                                                                           after!!!!

WE HAVE GRASS NOW!  Remember the before shot? Just dirt...! We are super thankful that almost all of it was leftover sod from a family friends backyard project. We are watering the heck out of and it is already a little greener. What an exhausting yet super rewarding landscaping adventure this has been...I am happy to have finally closed the book on this project..now onto the kitchen!...or maybe the master bathroom?!?

I have slipped away from blogging a bit. I hope to get back into the swing of it soon. Work has been pretty insane lately...but in a very good way. We've got some creative deadlines that we're almost finished with...so that will be rewarding when all done. Oh, and our AC broke for four whole days. Thankfully both of our families live here or else I am not sure what we would have done in a 95 degree house?!?!

Looking forward to: nathan's birthday party on saturday (the big 2-5)...I am thinking about making some of these and these (probably more for my satisfaction than his) and then going to philly with my love in 1.5 weeks!
