We are all looking for new things that are cute, fun, and special.  I have just the thing for you!

My really good friend, Laure Dowling, has started creating cute, fun, and special items made out of wire.  Check out her store on Etsy.  More will come if she gets the business, and I can tell you this, I am trying to figure out what I want without spending too much!!  :)  I think you'll all love them!

My Home...

We were once working so hard on the house, and now, nothing has happened.  It's just not together, and it makes me sad.  So now, I'm trying to decide what all I want to do and need to do.  Maybe you can help?!?!

The following pictures are of our living room.  This room has probably had the most work done, but there is still so much to do.  For sure, I want to paint the ceiling white; however, I'm debating on removing the popcorn or not.  I know it would be a lot of work, but honestly, I hate that stuff.  I love black, khaki, and white together.  That's pretty much what we have going; however, there are certainly a lot of other colors.  I do have our vases from our unity sand ceremony on the mantel, and then my flowers on a bookcase.  I want to cover the couches so they match, but I have no clue how to do that.  Let me know what your thoughts are!!

 We have talked about getting something different to frame/cover our fire pit.  What do you think?  It seems too plain or wide to me.

 Should we mount the TV on the wall, and then get a different stand or something for the Xbox, Kinect, and extra movies that we have hidden.  Yes, I have a lot of movies!  We also have some games.

 I've thought about framing our marriage certificate, and adding it to this mix of our wedding invitation and name "plate".  Maybe?

 The stairs... should we keep it carpet, with obviously a different color than green or do wood with a runner?

I know that this is up a little high, but things can change.  

As I really think I would like to put up crown molding.

Shoes!!

Okay, if you know anything about me, you know that I LOVE shoes!!  Like I wouldn't mind having a different pair of shoes for every day of the year, or at least a different pair for every Sunday within 6 months.  Either way, I love shoes and am always looking to see what's out there.

While checking out different bathing suits online as I will have to get a new one or two this year, I decided to look at shoes too.  Okay - I typically buy bathing suits from Victoria's Secret just as I do a lot of other things.  As my husband says, I'm a Victoria's Secret snob.  I agree, and he usually doesn't complain once he sees what I have.  LOL!

In checking out the shoes, I found these, and oh my goodness, I want them!!!

I ended up showing them to my husband because I just had to let him know what I was just wanting... no, I think I need them.  :)  He kind of laughed a little, and was like really, you like them.  They are 5" heels with a 1" platform... right up my alley!  (My wedding shoes were 4" heels from Jessica Simpson.)  He went and did whatever, and then came back to say I could order them because he didn't get me anything for my birthday.  I was tempted, but said no.  They are $75, and even though I have shoes that are more expensive than that, I thought about the new car I just got and the student loans I have to pay for starting next month.  *Sigh!*  Maybe I'll find some extra money just hanging out somewhere!!

Scentsy

Well, I'm thinking about creating my second job that I want.  I'm thinking about selling Scentsy!  It's a great product, and I know many that love it.  What do you think?!?!

The Beginning... Second Beginning

So do you remember this?!  Well, that was two years ago today.  I still can't believe we ended up together after our start back in 2004.  The first date we had was horrible.  We ended up just not wanting to have anything to do with each other; however, I know that there were several times that I asked about him and/or thought about him.  And from what I was told by his best friend, I was the girl that got away, but I came back.  :)  Second first dates work for me!

Do You Hear Music?

Tonight is the last night of a ten night stretch of sleeping on the couch on top of two big pillows to sleep in an elevated position.  Can't you hear the music because I know I do!!  :)

Well, once again, I have to say that I have the best husband ever!!  We have two couches that are about the width of a double bed each.  One is pretty big and fluffy with big pillows, and you can recline on both sides as well.  The other one is my first couch I got back in 2006 and is certainly starting to lose some structure.  Brandon likes to sleep on the couch from time to time... usually after playing Zombies till whatever hours or I'm out of town so he can do whatever he wants.  :)  His favorite couch is the big and fluffy one that reclines, and it's the couch his best friend sleeps on too when he crashes even though we have a spare bedroom.  LOL!

Okay, so enough of the description of the couches... this is where my husband is amazing.  He has slept on the couches with me for the past 9 nights, and ending tonight with night 10.  However, I have gotten the big fluffy couch with the pillows that allow me to stay elevated.  Also, I could recline at the beginning of the 10 days when I needed to stay up a lot more.  Brandon slept on the dying couch with his "game" chair (an old LDS church chair - metal with orange fabric) at the end to where he could put up his feet.  Yes, he was kind of sleeping at an angle.  For a man who loves his sleep, I am forever grateful for him doing this!!  He thought of sleeping in our bed a couple of times, but knew I wanted him in the same room with me.

I love my amazing, fabulous husband!!!
