Blah blah blah...blog.

I really wish there was something going on daily in my life that was bloggable, but I'm pretty boring these days.

We did rent that house we're just waiting on the property management company to recieve our security deposit and then we will have a house to move in to! Woohoo! I don't want to brag too much about this house, but it is FREAKING awesome! It has 3 bedrooms plus an office a formal living/dining area, huge kitchen with dining room and family room, 3 car garage, fenced in backyard and is on a cul-de-sac in a gated community in a town that we LOVE. I feel so lucky to have found this house and for it to still be available. We almost didn't get it because there was another application in on the property but we rushed and got ours in. It felt like we were bidding on a house to buy.

My next two weeks will be full of packing and trying to sort our stuff from my Granny's stuff and repacking unpacked boxes so that they can survive going cross-country. I am booking a moving company to move our few things so that my Mom and I don't have to try to back a uhaul trailor on our trip. I'm not much of a trailor backer-upper so I just don't want that added stress.

I am so excited to be moving to CA and to be with Chris but at the same time I am dreading leaving our families. I get so sad when I think about it and we've gotten really used to being around and with everyone. Luckily we will be back in May for a wedding, so it's not too long befoer we'll see everyone again.

Today is looking like it'll be gorgeous so I'm hoping to get Madelyn out to the park if she's up for it. She's been pulling her ears, stumbling around like a drunk, and had a low grade fever last night so I'm thinking ear infection. We have a dr. appt. Monday for shots so maybe we'll just get some antibiotic and skip the shots.

Not trying to brag, huh? Hmmm... well, you certainly know how to make a girl feel like crap! Between you and Jess with all her extreme makeover home edition I'm feeling pretty homeless. Thanks for that!

No really, I'm happy for you!

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
