Weekend Wrap-up and big changes!

First things first! You might notice a few changes around here, most notably my new blog title! I had no intention of changing my title any time soon but yesterday I was playing around in Blogger and it just came to me and 'wonderfully made' seemed like the perfect name for this blog. Here's where it comes from:

"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well."
Psalm 139:14 NKJV

This scripture is beautiful and I feel like it is the perfect representation of my blog as it is now and what  I want it to reflect moving forward. "Wonderfully made" is a constant reminder of my love of Christ and also can be applied to so many aspects of my blog.

 I started this blog as a DIY and home decor blog and have shared parts of our home that are 'wonderfully made'. Along the way I've also morphed into a lifestyle blogger so there are some posts that have nothing to do with DIY but are about my life and my family, which are 'wonderfully made'. 

Let me know if you like the new title and if needed, change your reader and your bookmarks to www.thewonderfullymade.blogspot.com. I'm so happy about this change!

In other news, we have had a great weekend in the Buchanan home!

First of all, I've been testing out the Nikon D3100 that I got from my parents and Mark for my birthday. I still have a LOT to learn as this is my first DSLR, but it is fun to play with! 

Brittany, heather, and Stacy came in town late on Friday night. Heather was hungry and we weren't too exhausted so we headed up the road for the nearest Mexican place still serving food for some late night chips and salsa. By the time we got back to the house, it was 8am in London so we Skyped with Emily! There were lots of giggles!

Saturday morning I made cinnamon rolls, bacon, and eggs and we chatted over breakfast. Heather and I went our own way and headed to White Rock Lake for a walk with motley. The weather was so nice and it wasn't too crowded!

Brittany and Stacy headed to the mall and came back with some awesome deals! 

We napped and lounged around in the afternoon before we met up with Jody, Jayde, and Kara for dinner. We went to Urban Crust, per usual! After dinner we headed down to Dallas for some live music. We had a great time!

On Sunday, the girls packed up and headed out of town while mark and I went down to our old stomping grounds. We had made reservations about two weeks ago for brunch at Hattie's to celebrate Valentines day. We aren't into crowds or a big fuss over the holiday so a relaxed, yummy brunch was perfect! We walked around bishop arts a little so I could play with my camera and then we headed back home. 

I'm off work today for Presidents' Day so I'm enjoying the weather and time off before the week gets crazy!

Be sure to check out my blog tomorrow for a fun post featuring Warby Parker!

(Also, i'm linked up with Leeann today!)

Happy Monday!

post weekend wrap-up

I guess it's about time I share my weekend with you! 

Friday night I tagged along with Jody as we went to Babe's in Burleson and ended the night with a little bowling action. I missed the chance to take any photos at Babe's simply because I was chowing down on family style fried chicken (it was so good, even the vegetarian gave in...sorta). If you live in the area and love a good home style meal, I highly suggest trying it at least once!

After dinner we headed to the bowling alley where Jody and I single handedly schooled everyone else. They were convinced we were pros. She and I were convinced we were just lucky and everyone else just had a bad game!

On the way home we eagle-eyed this awesome store. The signage ALMOST made us want to go in. Discuont!? It's gotta be good.

On Saturday I treated myself to a little shopping and since I was already out of my way for the outlet mall I figured I should pick up some hay for Motley's doghouse. She stays outside while we are at work and it's starting to get cold in the morning so we piled it in her pink doghouse to keep her warm. I'll share a photo soon. She loves it!

After some down time, it was time to get our scarlet and black on and root for Tech! Kitty tried to help, but unfortunately didn't do too much good. :( It was a valiant effort by Tech but the Sooners managed to win in the end. 7-1 record isn't the end of the world, though!

I joined our local Rec center down the street on Sunday...

..and made it down for some cardio on Monday! I did some time on the elliptical, the treadmill, and the stationary bike. Over 7 miles all together.

Proud of myself for finishing out my workout with a 6 mile ride! It's a start! (Not my TV programming of choice, btw)

This week I'm jetting off to Las Vegas and celebrating Halloween homeowner-style. I can't believe it's almost November already! 

Happy hump day!
