Beauty Amongst the Chaos

Is it June yet? The month of May has been stressful to say the least. However, I'm trying my best to stay positive, and to count my blessings :) A loving husband that makes me feel special even when I'm having the worst of days, three awesome little brothers who mean the world to me, a sweet mother & grandmother that love me more than anything, two crazy dogs that bring me joy, a great job, and a few close friends that bring me comfort & laughter. What more could a girl ask for ;)

My 21st birthday is coming up soon! & I'm so excited! This whole year I've been trying to figure out what I want to do to celebrate, (and being the total nerd that I am) I decided the perfect way to bring in my big 2-1...with "Eclipse" of course! Yes, that's right. Then of course dinner, drinks, and a night to remember. So, yes. You all are invited :)

I have been on a search to find a new hobby. So...I tried gardening. I found it surprisingly relaxing & I enjoyed it very much. I planted gerber daisies, dahlias, petunias, and ranunculus. The colors were beautiful, and I loved sitting on our porch swing admiring them...however, that was short-lived. I watered them accordingly & planted them in adequate sunlight but they only lasted about two weeks. Good ol' Oklahoma weather, rock-hard red dirt, and the crazy wind got the best of them :( I watered them accordingly & planted them in adequate sunlight. I guess I'll try to plant bulbs next year.

Since it's been awhile since my post, here's a little update: we finally got our bed & the rest of our bedroom set and here is the end result of our bedroom makeover...We absolutley love it!

Oh, Hi There!

So, I cannot remember the password to our last blog to save my life, so I had to start a brand new one. Here our some of our updates:

...as many may know, the past year we've been working on our house & making it home. Well, we've come a long way! We went from sitting in camping chairs in our living room, to having a full-furnished home! We are really loving it. We just bought our first lawn mower & Justin is pretty excited about mowing, don't ask me why. lol. We finally purchased a bedroom set and recieved the dresser & nightstand & our TempurPedic mattress- however, the bed itself is still being shipped. Our mattress is heavenly! If anyone is mattress shopping- TempurPedics are the way to go! I hardly move at all now when I sleep, and when I do get out of bed, Justin doesn't move. Heck, I could jump on the bed and he would'nt know :) This isn't a very exciting post- but we are very excited about all of these wonderful little things in life.
