It is with excitement that can say I've finally reached
100 posts! To commemorate, I am going to repost some of the milestone posts from our lives. These were some pretty exciting moments! Proposal, getting our house, decorating house, our puppy's first birthday... So many wonderful things and big changes have happened since starting this blog way back in the day. Hard to believe I've had it for about 3 years now. (Though really it's like it's been one since I wrote in it mostly this year. But 3 years sounds better.) I hope you all enjoy the walk down memory lane. Thank you for reading and I'm glad you could join me today in celebrating my 100th post!

"David and I spent most of the 4th of July at my grandmother's house popping firecrackers, baking cookies and spending time with my family. That night, we went to Riverpark's big fireworks show. My cousin and a couple of mine and David's friends were in attendance. One of his friends happened to be taking photos of the fireworks. David casually asked his friend to take pictures of us. So we stood up and hugged for the pictures. David began digging in his pocket and before I knew it, he was kneeling down on one knee! With the fireworks blossoming in the background, David asked me to marry him!! I squealed as tears sprang to my eyes and said YEEEESS!! That was the happiest moment of my life! I was completely and utterly surprised. I cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together. I could not ask for a better man to be my husband and take care of me. Say hello to the future Mrs. Linde!!"

The house is ours!!
"We closed on Tuesday. And by 'we' I mean David. I was unfortunately stuck in Edmond doing mundane things such as choir and opera rehearsals...(during which we did get a lot accomplished.) It is move in ready and we (and again I mean 'we' as in David and my Parents) have begun moving things in. My parents came down yesterday and help load up the bedroom suite that we got from EARC Thrift store. It's very nice! A 5 piece set at a very decent price. We also got to enjoy a delicious dinner at Earl's Rib Palace, (home of Oklahoma's best BBQ!!) Though I will be going there this weekend to help with the moving process. Maybe now would be a good time to clear out a few of my holiday decoration tubs that are sitting in my kitchen in Edmond and taking up space in the shed out back... Surely there's room for 4 tubs somewhere..."

"Pardon the mess, but it's almost heard to believe that this is the same living room. Everything in the house was white, white, white! We needed some color in there ASAP. The paint color is Pomegranate I believe, and it was a perfect match for our red barn paintings. The paintings actually have a fun story behind them. The first one shown in the corner with the table lamp (from Kirkland's, love that place) was from a place in Tulsa called
Persimmon Hollow Village. It's a neat place full of rustic buildings containing anything from wood working to Coca Cola memorbilia. We got it for about $5!! The 4 small ones, we found on one of our antique excursions somewhere in Oklahoma. They are all 5 painted on what looks to be linen, or a fine burlap, all bearing the same signature. I call this my Christmas room because of the red and the snow pictures. Decorating this house was just so much fun!!"

"Today, our little puppy turned 1 year old!! Back in September, we adopted him from the SPCA. One of the best decisions we made! He is so precious. We couldn't have chosen a better dog. Actually, he's the first dog I've ever had, so naturally we spoil him rotten! Both of his grandmothers came over today with precious gifts for our precious puppy! I baked a cake for the special occasion. (None of the ingredients harmful to dogs.). And it was super easy to make!! And it didn't taste half bad, only a little bland: natural peanut butter, flour, shredded carrots, being the main ingredients. The recipe can be found
HERE."
