Photo from Michelle :) this is how she revealed the sex to her parents! Pink icing in the midde = girl! :)

the secret is out! my best and oldest friend (shes not old, but i've known her the longest!) is expecting a baby GIRL with her husband in march! i couldn't be more excited and happy for them! i've had to keep this secret since by birthday- in JULY! michelle and eddie came up to austin a couple weeks ago, and it was SO good to see them! she was just glowing! we got to spend some good quality time together- shopping, getting virgin drinks, and of course eating! before she left, she told me she was going to find out the sex in a week or so- ahh! 

when i got a call from her on Tuesday, i was surprised the results came back so quick! (she had a blood test done to determine the sex) she was planning a fun reveal for her husband and her parents, so naturally, she called to spill the beans before telling them! thats one of those secrets you just have to share! i was so honored she told me before everyone else found out! but damn, was it hard to keep my mouth shut! its not every day that your best friend calls to tell you she's having a baby girl!

i am so happy for michelle & eddie. they are going to be amazing parents! i can't wait to meet (and spoil) your baby girl!! xoxo

well hello.

i haven't posted anything in two months. TWO MONTHS. where has the time gone?

i'd like to say that i've been super busy with something more exciting that work, but thats not the case. i have been super busy with work-- which is a good thing.  we have been focusing on us, and getting our life started. and since its kind of hard for me to remember what allll we have been up to, here's the short list!

• we didn't move. we extended our lease. for a few reasons. finding a place to live in budget and the part of town we want to be in is close to impossible. plus the market is CRAY right now, so we decided to just sit put for a few more months.
• i (just recently) bought a new car. i needed 4 doors- i had a convertible, sigh, but its days were numbers and its cons out-weighed the pros, so we traded it in and up! i love my brand new car. yes, brand new. its the car that i'll have when we bring kids home, and its the car that im okay with having for the next 72 months.

 

• colby shaved his head. twice. 
• there was the xxx olympics. 17 days of nothing but sitting in front of the tv.
• i learned to shoot a gun. successfully. CHL classes are up next at some point.

 

• we have been boring. this summer has literally flown by-- i dont know if it seems to go by faster now that we are married, but we all of a sudden blinked and its almost september. we didn't really take any trips, we haven't floated the river, and we saw two movies (moonrise kingdom and the campaign)
• colby and i both celebrated birthdays. the david yurman fairy came to visit me, and the louis vuitton fairy came to visit colby. yes, we are spoiled- er we spoil each other. and no we don't care. oh, mom celebrated her bday in austin too!

• speaking of, my mom moved to austin and started a new job! she has an adorable apartment in town, and just turned a temp job into a full time, benefits and everything job! we are so proud of her!
• we did get all of our wedding photos back a couple weeks ago. they are spectacular. it was so nice to look back on our special day and remember all those beautiful moments. it was really the perfect day. 

 

thats about everything that is going on. i *promise* to be more active now that i've got this whole wife/working woman thing down. if you really want to keep up with me, follow me on instagram @angelicalouis

 hope you all have had a great summer! xoxo
