Weekend Update and Giveaway!! ...

Happy Sunday friends :) This is a long one, I am sorry for being a bad blogger and combining all these into one because I didn't post for a week ha but make it to the end for a special prize!!
I have been a little MIA lately, not by choice, but do to the early Spring Real Estate Market here in Lexington, KY that is BOOMING already!! Remember the new listing with the professional pics from last post?Well ... 

BAM! 

(In my best NeNe Leakes Voice ha!)

Woohoo! SOLD in 5 Days! That's right ... not even a week on the market! 

So excited!

Love when people price their house right and do the things I suggest before listing ... this is what happens :) 

Now I have another awesome house I just listed this weekend to show you ... because the pics are amazing!

Gentry-Jackson & Associates is on a roll ;) 

So blessed.

4,000 sq ft up like new space loaded with upgrades!

Isn't that so nice?

And the theater room is awesome! Just an added bonus, oh and a hot tub too!

Okay, let's talk Valentine's Day shall we? 

Saw this on Pinterest. 

Loved it. Perfect for Valentine's Day. 

Frankie sent out his Valentine to all his peeps ;) 

I made a little eCard for Chris and shared on his Fbook page early that morning so he would see it when he checked it that morning ;) 

I had my cute little XOXO burlap banner I got from Very Jane and my Happy Everything plate with the Valentine envelope on it!  The kids were here so we had a Valentine's Party and Chris's parents came down to celebrate!
We cooked dinner and played games and opened Vday presents and just had a super fun night!(Chris and I celebrated Friday night, just us, with dinner and such!)
Chris had my two favorite things ready for me before the party ... 

Chocolate Covered Strawberries from Confused Confections Bakehouseand The Bacon Cheddar Ring from DaRae & Friend's Catering ... Yyyyuuummmm :) (so much for the diet!)I had ordered some special cookies for the kiddos ... and they turned out adorable!

How cute is that?They were adorable and the kids LOVED them! 

We opened a few Valentine's presents :) 

And we got some wax lips hahaha

Silly girls ;) 

Pics from Her Knight Dance 

I had been wanting to share a couple of pics from the Father/Daughter Dance at our church that Chris took the girls too last weekend ... I just love that they went and they had so much fun... 

they will remember that first dance for the rest of their lives :) 

I had so much fun getting them all dolled up before their big night!

That is a memory that I will remember the rest of my life ;)

Sooo cute! :) 

They had this at the Keene Barn in Keeneland and it looked from the pics that Chris took that it was just so much fun and such a blessing to be at. :) 

So I tried to find a picture of me and good ole' Dan (my dad ha) just while I was uploading these pics of Chris and the girls .. and I found this little beauty to share with yall .... 

Brace yourself ha 

I mean I laugh outloud every single time I look at this .. .because my dad looked ridiculous. 

I mean what in the world was with the stach and the hair? hahaha too much for me to handle. 

I don't think I was in a smiling mood that day, probably because my mom cut those bangs!! Ha! 

But my outfit was pretty cute ... I can spot a cute outfit a mile away ;) 

Well, now that you got a good laugh ...

This is the pic I emailed of my sweet angel 

I had so much fun painting!! 

My friends, Kim and Kelly, painting their furbabies also :)

Kind of blurry, but all of us with our masterpieces!

SO fun! 

If you have one near you I would def recommend grabbing some girlfriends and going!

New Listing

I listed a great house this weekend ... and hired a professional photographer for the first time to take pics of the house and boy oh boy what a difference it made! I will never take pics again  ... my sellers now have an even better advantage over their competition and future sellers have another reason to list with me :)

Check out the pic!

Those are just a few of the pics, but how great did they turn out? Love them! 

Taking more tomorrow for another new listing ;)

If you are looking for a new home in Lexington, KY and want info on the above house click HERE!

 Chris took Ella and Ava to our church's Father/Daughter dance this weekend and they had an awesome time!! I will post pics on that tomorrow because I haven't uploaded them yet, but here is a sneak peak ha 

They are adorable and the girls looked so beautiful! <3 

I am so glad they got to go and celebrate their relationship with their Daddy. 

They say the most important relationship a female will ever has is the one she has with her father as a child. They are lucky to have an amazing father like Chris ;) 

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!!

It's almost Valentine's Day! 

What is everyone doing?
