A King for your Highness!

Well, it is fall! Woohoo...that much closer to Christmas! Not that I am trying to rush it, but I love this time of year. Tonight it is going to dip into the 30's...what?
Anyhow, it seems that with the change of the seasons Jared & I are turning things in our house upside down.
Today, we had our new King mattress delivered. Woohoo. This would typically not be that big of a deal, however, we just paid $3000 for our Queen not even 2 years ago..eeeeekkkkk. Now we have an ultra luxurious mattress in our spare for our visitors! We got a king for a few reasons, but mostly because the old one was so soft that we were sinking all night. Now, I get to find a new duvet, sheets, and all that jazz. We are going to get a new bed as well, but are holding off for a while..you will see why below!
Next, I forgot to write about my recent haircut. I chopped it off. Must be a September thing. Last year this time I cut it a lot too. So far I like it. I will post pics after this weekend.
We are also seriously considering getting a new car. I am now driving half what I was before, and I want a new car. We probably will be getting a Toyota 4 Runner. We have decided for Jared to keep his truck so that he can hunt out of it and we can haul things with it, and to get a "family car" well before we have a family. My hope is that the payment would drop off soon after having kids so we wouldn't be picking up that extra expense. Stay tuned for that.
Lastly, we(I) am looking forward to this weekend. Witches night out on Friday, big 1st bday Saturday and a baby shower Sunday. I will probably blink and it will be Monday...good think I like my job and that I am off next Monday for Columbus Day!!

Beach Post #1

Labor day week we enjoyed a week at Nags Head courtesy of Gary & Joyce. We had a nice house, nice time, but bad weather. We only saw the sun for about 5 hours Wednesday afternoon, and then not again until Friday. We enjoyed it while we could. For me it was a little disappointing given my love for the sun and beach, but it was great for our family. Tucker and Courtney got very close to us during this week. Coco now calls me "Wia-weesh" or something like that....while it is difficult for me to determine whether Tucker is calling me or the fire truck. If I had no association with fire trucks it wouldn't be hard, but that isn't the case!

They quickly figured out which room was ours, and bugged Josh & Brandy to see us whenever they woke up..somedays this was 5am!!! I know I heard Josh say at least twice that Jared & I wouldnt have kids for another 5 years because of that...not true...we really enjoyed it very much and can't wait to go next year!

One last shout out to my friend KP, who this time next week will almost be MRS.LEWIS!!! I hope everything is perfect for you and Matt!! (She is also the inspiration for this blog)

Wastin Away Again in Margaritaville!

So I tried to post this from the beach, but my connection wasnt strong enough to upload the pics....this was our first Jimmy Buffett concert and it was a blast! We got there so early and it wasn't long before I was drowning in Parrot Bay & pineapple!! That doesnt count the 100 jello syringes we had! It was a beautiful day and we really had fun. Yes there were shooters for hooters, and lots of people passed out around Nissan.

Some of the girls.....Jenni was well on her way...and I wasn't far behind!

Of course Eric found some girls....but they swing the other way...he tried to convince us otherwise....but when they started making out...he was busted! Never the less he got them to give him some jello!


Living it up....a rare occasion of neither of us having to drive.

Check out that nice classy tshirt!!! Classy!

So it's September

So now that it is officially September, I dont feel so bad getting ready for fall...and the weather has helped! I know that when I return from vacation life will be a blur and before I know it I will be putting up my Christmas tree!!! I decided to make today a craft day, and here are some pics.

I originally saw this idea in a magazine and decided to give it a try.
I started with 10 cut out faces from Michael's. They had 6 or 8 ideas, so I tried some of theirs and a few of my own.

There are a few more that I still need to do...one with M&M's (orange), one with feathers, one that is black and white, and one with flowers.

The pictures are out of order--still learning this blog thing!



Here is the glitter one!

This one I painted black, and put some cool purple spiders on it!

This one is painted white, then covered in amber jewels!

This one is painted orange, then covered in ribbons. No clue why it is turned the other way.
