Right Now...

These are some things I am really loving...

Surprise flowers from my big sis with the happiest packaging...
Totally made my day...


  Stumbling upon an a-MAY-zing home decor store. With everything you could ever dream of...including silly little dudes like these...
 She takes naps like this right now...(Ok. I don't love that, but it IS cute.)...
on her fingers are tiny Minnie Mouse shoes...
My little family settling in to our Lexington life...
That she plays soccer w/a basketball and calls it volleyball...
 This kids new hair cut....
 The beginnings of a scrap space...
 A HUGE tub that my big ole 5'9" pregers behind actually fits into....
comfortably....ahhhhhh, so nice....
 Progress on the scrap space (crabapple paint has GOTs to go!)...
 She claims these are "her shoes."...
 I found this polaroid at an antique shop. (Should have bought it!!)...
 Adorable/unique new baby products like this bottle drying grass... 
(GrAsS?! Why do I love it so much?!)...
 Traipsing around stores with this rotten little thing...
who is ALWAYS attracted to red recliners for some reason.....
and ALWAYS takes her shoes off in furniture stores...
 Reunited and it feels so GOOD!... 
Project life needs some serious catch up & I am so ready....
 Chocolate....
Anyone who knows me right now is thinking, "WhAT?!!!?"
I have always hated chocolate. But for some wacky reason (nugget in the oven) I can't get enough.
I am even doing some chocolate on chocolate crime with brownies and fudge frosting....

Best Husband Ever

Even though....
he takes me to a ZILLION furniture stores in one day all around the city & then won't commit to buying anything.... :) (At this point I have playing the part of Goldilocks down to a science.)

He really is the best. Who else would make an inappropriate u-turn because his prego wife spotted a Sonic? (man, I'm gonna get fat!) Who would rub her feet even though he hates feet? Who would schlep dozens upon dozens of boxes from one floor to the next because they were put in the wrong place? Who would shoulder the burden of all of the gory details in a move...the mundane stuff like arranging an apt. with the Internet guy, and getting a car detail paid for after it came off of the cross country rig exceptionally dirty? Who would make sure that he takes sufficient time off of work so that the house could be in order, to avoid putting it all of his wife's plate? This guy......

We just happened to run into this giant "B" at the Las Vegas boneyard (where we got our wedding photos taken...thank sis! I'll tell you all about it one day). His name is Brian, not Hottie, as I have led you to believe....and he is the BEST, so perfect fit!

He does so many other super important and fabulous things....things that I probably don't even realize and certainly don't acknowledge. I know that I really lucked out on this one guys, and he's Hot to boot. What a keeper. (It's ok to be a little jealous.....but he's mine so back off. ;))
