Yep Not Happening

I've been trying I really have but I think I am ending my short interest into blogging. It was a phase I think that has now passed for me, but if you were reading thanks for that!!!

Friends are like diamonds, Precious and Rare

I'm feeling kind of sentimental today and just need to give a post for my friends. Friends are people you can call no matter how your feeling and they know exactly how to deal with you. Whether its to talk about it, be excited about it, cry about it, eat ice cream, throw pity parties or just to be there next to you...they just know. You go to them no matter how you're feeling because you know that by letting them in its going to help one way or another. I find myself soooo lucky that I have a few of these people in my life that I feel this way about. You know who you are and I am so thankful for you everyday!!

Ok that's my sappy post, you don't get to witness many so enjoy!

Videotastic!!

So I love our wedding videographer Jason! He made us this awesome wedding music video of the highlights along with the regular footage of our wedding. If you need a videographer in the NOVA area def talk to him! Jason Siemer Productions

In Love

So I love Etsy!! That's all i can say in this post because I don't want to ruin anything but seriously its awesome. The first time I went on I was totally overwhelmed because there's so much to look at but when you have something specific you're looking for, always check Etsy! You can find some great deals because the sellers aren't companies they're just regular people trying to sell their product and some of their products are so awesome. I'll do another post a little farther into fall showing you what made me so excited that I just had to do this post today! YAY

Goodie Bags

Goodie Bags are the most important part of a Birthday Party to a child so please don't ever forget this, we did. SIL had a birthday party for her hubby yesterday where some of their friends and their 3 year old son were invited, so obviously they had told him he was going to birthday party, about half way through he's like where are the goodie bags? Everyone's face dropped.....how could we all have gotten so old that we forgot the importance of goodie bags!!! I guess we prefer beer to goodie bags nowadays, but we did have cake! In walked another party goer a little later and the little boy is like It's a birthday and there's NO goodie bags!! It was adorable but sad haha, so SIL being the great gal that she is put together a cute little bag of candy corn, M&M's and a granola bar and even sharpied his little name on the bag. Isn't it funny the things you loved as child and completely made your day and how quickly you forget them? It made me reminisce about some of my favorite things:

#1 - Goodie Bags (obviously)

#2 - Ants on a log (celery with peanut butter & raisins)

#3 - Sandboxes

#4 - Flashlight Tag

#5 - The day the pool opened (which is still of great importance to me haha)

#6 - Cool Lunchboxes

#7 - Peanut Butter, Honey & Banana Sandwiches

#8 - Making cookies with mom but really just sitting on the counter and eating the product

#9 - Monopoly

#10 - Summer Vacation

#11 - Puppy Chow (that chex mix covered in peanut butter, chocolate & powdered sugar)

#12 - Frogger

#13 - Keds & Jellies

#14 - Mudpies

#15 - Tooth Fairy

Puppy Fever

Yes I know I'm married now but no baby fever for me yet...but I do have a severe case of puppy fever!! A girl in our apartment building has a Maltese poodle mix and it is the tiniest most adorable little fluffball of all time I'm totally in love with it haha. Every time I see her i have to stop and play for a few minutes. I've been wanting a puppy for a while but thought we should wait and see what was happening with our house hunting. We're still hunting but I have an even better plan which is since i live so close to work now its the best time to get a puppy because I could come home at lunch and i don't have long commutes to add onto the time they'd be alone. It's PERFECT, right? Plus I figure training a puppy in an apartment is a positive because lets face it you're renting and you didn't actually pay for the carpet, one nice job with the carpet cleaner before we move out and we'd be good to go! I mean just check out their adorable faces how can you resist! So we'll see maybe sometime soon hubby and I will add another member to our family!

Comfy & Stylish!

So yesterday we went to Pottery Barn and picked out our new couch!! I'm obsessed with it haha, I've loved it for forever and now we finally get to have it. First we had to decide on color, which wasn't too hard as I wanted something neutral and not yellowish so we went with Light Wheat. Then we had to decide if we wanted the chaise on the left or right....this was a harder decision because we're in our apartment now but still house hunting so we have no clue what the layout will be. After lots of thought and drawing son floor plans we decided to go just go with the chaise on the right and fit it in!! I can't wait to get this new comfy addition to our apt. but it won't be in until mid November. That's OK it gives us plenty of time to buy new coffee tables and a TV Stand, yay for decorating.


On a side note from our couch I am super excited for fall now and am trying to hold off on decorating until next weekend but I found this adorable fall colored votive candle holder that I'm going out to buy today to put on our dining room table!!! Yay for leaves falling I can't wait for all our fun fall excursions!
