Joyeux Anniversaire

Matthew and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago and it feels like time is just flying by! I baked a strawberry mini-cake in honor of our occasion, covered it in fondant and used food coloring to "watercolor" the outside.


It was my first experience working with homemade marshmallow fondant and it was tough. 
The watercoloring part was fun though. 


We also celebrated our anniversary in Dallas with an extremely casual date. We went to a burger joint and followed it up with a couple of truly delicious Sprinkles cupcakes.



We both got the best anniversary gift ever --- having our offer accepted on a home! We are so thrilled to finally become home-owners and (fingers crossed!) will hopefully be able to close at the end of next week. 


Aside from that, we are just trying to enjoy our last couple of weeks in the apartment (especially the giant pool) before all of the closing/packing/moving madness begins. We wrote out a long summer bucket list today and we plan on checking off a couple of activities every week.  All we've gotten accomplished so far is teaching Charlotte how to float on her back and letting her taste her first sno-cone! 



I can't wait to get all the paperwork squared away with our new house so that I can post some pictures. It's going to be a lot of work but I can't wait to get started.
