Ba-Nanas

i get so inspired and creative while watching rachel zoe project, right???  and they make me laugh with all the drama over a broken heel or a photoshoot with an oversize chair!!  oh.....my....god.  HAAA!
speaking of creativity...i'm ready to decorate our house!!!!  the builder accepted our offer.....serious.  now we're getting allllllll the paperwork printed out, faxed, overnighted, etc and now we just have to wait for inspection and CLOSING!
we're getting all sorts of wedding presents delivered (thankyouthankyouthankyou) and i'm trying to picture things in the new house.  this is the dinnerware i decided on....

very spanish which is not the overall look of the house but that's ok right????  someone please tell me your plates don't have to match the decor of the house!?  brett made me question it asking if i would still love this in 10 or 15 years and i was like, i mean, i don't know!!!!  all our serveware is great white from pottery barn which is timeless and will go with above dinnerware.  and all the pretty food i make will brighten up the white, RIGHTTT!?!?!?!  brett is expecting LOTS of dinner parties after all the excuses of why we need all this serveware and plates and bowls and 3 tier appetizer thingys.  hehehe  love this.
oh, i have pictures of the house but can't seem to find brett's camera right now but next time i will, promise. we've decided we need: dining table/chairs, breakfast nook table for 4-pub height, maybe a bar of some sort, a desk with storage for brett's office, bookshelves for the tons of books he has, and loads of colorful decor :)
and i haven't mentioned our little sweet darlin' hurley in a while...he's doing well but i hope he makes the transition a little more smoothly than the last move.
ummm....did anyone else realize that i'm getting married in like....2 weeks!?!?!?!? we've got some last minute things to worry about....like is there going to be a hurricane!!!  but i have faith that if we are prepared, everything will be fine :)  cross your fingers and pray with me please.
k, BYE

grown up??? where?????

we're trying to buy a house...WHAAAA?????  its so confusing.  i mean, how did someone come up with all these terms and sayings and abbrevs and papers and processes that make this so freaking difficult to buy a home!  brett and i went to savannah last weekend after we officially got his orders for 2-3 years in SAVANNAH!!!  and usaa hooked us up with an awesome agent, judy.  judy is my new BFF..actually she and brett are phone buddies....b/c he's in class and can talk at the drop of a hat, while i'm at work dealing with drama.  so judy and brett have been negotiating and scheming for a few days and we put in an offer (quicker than we thought) b/c another couple was looking at OUR house.....the nerve right??  RIGHT???  that's MY house...get away! and brett is pretty excited about my decorating..even though he's afraid of color, he's ready for a cohesive, beautiful, look at what my wife did kind of house!  'member that rug i posted a couple posts ago....TOTALLY getting that!  love it too much to pass it up!
i'm thinking vanilla-y beige in the living room, mocha dining room, greyish blue office for brett....can't decide about kitchen.  we do have a breakfast nook...i wouldn't mind an amazing wallpaper but that scares me....not sure i won't screw that up or accidentally glue my hand to the wall.  there are 4 bedrooms....one will be set up guest room, one an office and one probably storage.  depending on what we get from registry i'll decide out our bedroom later.  any ideas though?  i need to start SERIOUSLY searching mags for inspiration...maybe while i'm on my flight home this weekend for the SHOWERRRRRRR  i can research!   i'll post pics of house and update from shower when i get home!

p.s. i told work that brett got a job and we were moving.....not as dramatic as i thought it would be.  boss lady said she would try her hardest to fit my in somewhere in savannah location...keep your little digits crossed!!!!!!
