I'm baaaack...

I know I said I wasn't going to blog at all until after we get back...

But I had to sneak on here to share with you what we got in the mail today...


Isn't is fabulous?! I just love it!!! I had seen something similar on Etsy and was thinking about making one...

But now I don't have to!!! I love it!!!

Things are pretty smooth around here. I just finished up with our ceremony programs and went with my mom today to get a manicure and pedicure...

My pedicure is already ruined...go figure...

OH well...

Time for me to relax and do a few other things...

I can't wait for Saturday!!!

Only 2 MORE DAYS!!!

Day 25 of 30: I can't believe Christmas is ONE MONTH away!!!

Did I mention we got A LOT of gifts at our shower?!

Well. We did.

I have put off putting them away, but decided to finish tonight. Phew, thank gawd that's over!


Being the neat/clean freak that I am, it is suprising that I even waited a couple of days! It feels good to have it all sorted out. Only now our 'office' is full of clutter.

Have I mentioned I hate clutter?

Well. I do.

We can't wait to use all of the new things!!!

Have I mentioned I LOVE black?

Well. I do.

Our kitchen counters have been pretty bare as of late. Actually you can say as of since we moved in here. With all of the new gifts, our counters are FULL now.

I love this, but it also created a bit of a dilemma for me. I just couldn't get anything in the right spot. I am settled on the above pictures for now to see how it works out. Everything is just different sizes.

I think I found the solution...

We need a bigger kitchen! ha! And a house! :-)

Also...since we got a new couch. We aren't allowing the animals to get up on it. When I sit over there, Mason always wants to come up.

He can't!

So...he lays with his daddy!

He fell asleep all over Ryan's legs the other night. Luckily, I had the camera on the table. He was sound asleep just draped over R's legs. It was too funny.

I must have bothered him though because I got the look above. Woke him up right in the middle of his deep sleep. How dare me?!

Soon to be Matron of Honor

As I've mentioned before, my good friend Jenny is getting married shortly after Ryan and I. Their wedding is in May and I will be her Matron of Honor...I love saying that, since I will be a married woman by then!

I am so excited for her wedding and I can't wait for it to come. It will be a great time!

The happy couple

As a token of appreciation and saying yes to being in her wedding, Jenny got me this book. I just love it! She knows that I love the Chicken Soup books...she must have seen my vast collection...and thought I would love this! She was dead on! She even wrote a sweet little note in there to me!

Thank you Jenny!!!
