A Family Affair

Since we returned from our lavish honeymoon in Jamaica, we decided we needed a hobby that fits our newlywed budget. So, we have been hitting the pavement. Problem - the TJ Maxx tennis shoes I had were not doing the job. After researching the best running shoes and finding sales online, we hopped in the car for the local sporting goods store. Drew already had these beauties...



so we decided Nike should be a family affair. Drew found these fun shoes [that we're on SALE] and he definitely worked husband magic - they are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.



We're loving our afternoon jogs around our complex and proper running gear has made such a difference. Who wouldn't love a hobby that fits in the budget and provides stress relief? Now we just need to train hard so we can run the Country Music Marathon in our fun hometown next year!

We're back

The Meggs took a blogging hiatus to get married (!) and settle into our life together, but we’re excited to get back to sharing our story with our family and friends. Hopefully we will have wedding pictures soon to share with those of you who could not be with us during our special weekend. In the meantime, we would love to share parts of our new “home” with everyone who cannot journey to Nashville soon. Bear in mind, this is a 2 week work-in-progress and we're hoping you will give us input on making our small space "creative" on a "creative" budget.


Cool jars in the entry way filled with what Drew calls the "bird stuff"


Welcome to our blank-walled dining room. Picking up some decor from mom this weekend!



Pantry - so nice to have the additional cabinet space



All our favorite kitchen gadgets in one space!



Living Room



Wish we could find a fun way to display the suitcases & this chair - both are awesome pieces



Mantle filled with special things, but still needs some TLC



As much as you'll see of the Meggs bathroom, unless you come visit



Fabulous headboard we found for a STEAL!



Drew's fish Lyle. Yes, I'm aware a fish lives on my wall.

Now, we need your input on how to make our apartment a neat space. Go!
