Fun Stuff!


















So my mother-in-law and I started our Christmas shopping together this weekend. I saw these, and I fell in LOVE with them! When I have a baby girl, I want them in every style! I bought a black pair for my new little cousin Jolee for Christmas. because every girl needs black stillettos! You can find them here!

























This I just thought was clever. It's a ceramic vase that looks remarkably just like a paper bag! I think it could be a versatile decorating piece, and I want the small one. You can find it here.

















I was smitten with this gift... It's a smitten, a mitten for two. There are two normal mittens, and a mitten to share, so you can hold hands and keep warm. You can find it here. Happy Christmas shopping everyone!

Cleaning my bathroom in heels... thats how I roll!

Let me preface this blog by saying that Thursday was absolutely terrible. One of my professors does not like me, and with my luck I happen to have her as a clinical instructor too. I let her know one of my weaknesses, and instead of helping me, she used it against me. Thank goodness this semester is almost over.
Today was better. Praise God for that. Christmas is coming, and that is my favorite time of year. I think we might attempt to put up some decorations this weekend.



Rumor has it that sales are starting, and I headed out to look today. Linens and Things is having a going out of business sale, but I didn't find anything. I bought a couple of tank tops at Old Navy for $5 each, and these shoes at Target. They are red patent loafers with a heel, and best of all they are comfortable. I think they look festive, right!?!





New product Review: Srubbing Bubbles Action Scrubber

I liked this product a lot! It worked great on my tiled shower walls, and on the tub. And this may make me sound weird, but I used it on the floor too. My bathroom is really small, and even though the floor looked clean, I went ahead and cleaned a small secion with this, and boy was I shocked. My floor literally shined. So obviously I cleaned the rest of it too:) Use this link to print a coupon for $2.75 off your Action Scrubber purchase!

Dinner tonight



I did NOT get a good nights sleep last night. I felt fine when I went to bed, but sometime in the night my stomach started hurting. It hurt so bad that I kept dreaming about it, and it would wake me up. The thing was that it was a weird kind of hurt in a weird spot. It was my upper abdomen that hurt, it was a dull achy new sort of pain, and my stomach was kinda swollen. Really weird. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very much, and I skipped the one class that I have on Tuesdays.




On a different note, I tried something new for dinner tonight. Since I didn't, and don't for that matter, feel so hot I threw together one of the new Bertolli frozen dinners. We had the cheese ravioli one. They sell in the grocery store for about $8, and I don't think it was worth that much. The only reason we had it was that it was on sale, and that I had a coupon. So for about $4 it was an easy quick dinner.

Fall update

I so would like to blog every day, but it just doesn't seem to happen....


Updates:

The semester is almost over. That is amazing because it means that I am 1/4 of the way finished with nursing school. Bad because I only have a few weeks to make sure my grades are up to par.


Married life is phenomenal. Clay is my best friend. We get each other. Really, really get each other, like nobody else can.

Admitedly I have the baby fever. Instead of eyeing Jimmy Choo's, I eye Pottery Barn baby furniture. Clay says he thinks we will have at least one baby before I graduate.....


Church has been a real blessing lately. We have been going to the Young Married/Parents of Pre-Schoolers Sunday School class, and I have been going to a women's class on Wednesdays called Keepers of the Home. LOVE<>


Another blessing lately has been Mitzi. She teaches my Keepers of the Home class, and I think she is great! I babysat for her one day last week, and got to know her a little better too. She is a really great godly wife and mother, and a great example for a newlywed such as myself.


Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn is my lab partner, and so much more, She is the reason I haven't given up on school this semester. She reminds me of what I need t do, and helps me every step of the way. She even made me promise her that if I get pregnant that I won't drop out and leave her alone. How is that for accountability!?!


Life is rockin lately. Sorry for the lack of pics in my post. I will try and do better. Promise:)
