Excitement

So, I get this phone call today from Andrea and she is so excited! Why? Because she bought me these really cool plates for my kitchen! She told me that she was really excited to give me my birthday present and to call her when I got home so she could bring it over to me. And she also told me that if I didn't like it to not tell her b/c it would make her cry!!! First off, I would never, ever tell anyone that I didn't like a present b/c that is just rude and 2nd off, I REALLY DO LOVE THEM:)

Don't you???

I'm have been talking with Andrea about repainting my kitchen, dining room, hallway and laundry room for the past year. So now I have something to base it off of and totally redo:)

Well, just wanted you to be able to share in my excitement with me.

Tag, I'm it!

I have been tagged by Hayley at Love Little Things!

Here is my daily "beauty" regime (and yes they are pretty much in the order that I use them. I am kind of weird about order:))

I use Dove soap on my face every morning

I use Thermasilk shampoo, the volumizing kind b/c my hair is so fine and flat!

My great hair lady has me using this Redken Hair cleansing shampoo a few times a week

I wash the ole bod with my Bath and Body Sweet pea or I get the Suave kind at Wal-mart

Before I blow dry my hair I put this Redken Rootful in to try and help with the flatness

I just started using Kenra hairspray. I went from Big Sexy Hair to this. I love this one!

This one is out of order... yikes, kind of freaking me out! Anyway, I use Mary Kay oil free eye makeup remover when I get out of the shower to get that extra eye stuff off that Dove doesn't get off.

Mary Kay Toner, this is to help with my oilyness, but for some reason I am still having trouble.

Mary Kay eyeliner, Black

Mary Kay eyesicles, Island Bronze

Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara, Blk

A little bath and body sweet pea to make me smell delicious

Degree deodorant to make the pits not stink

I use a variety of lotions. Whatever I can find. I use lotion on the whole body, everyday! I am thinking the Bath and Body that I have been using is a lot better and is helping with my dry skin!

I just bought this Abercrombie perfume. I switch between it and the Cool Water that I have used all my life.

There you have it folks! Now you know what makes me so Beautiful, or not so beautiful:)

I am going to tag................................... Andrea @ Box of Chocolates and Shonya @ Learning How Much I Didn't know

look what we bought!

Yep, a recliner! Jared went to sit in our recliner Sunday night after our nap and somehow it had gotten broken? not quite sure what happened, but it did! Jared was ready to go LAST.NIGHT to get one picked out. I wanted a little color and he wanted heat.... so we both got what we wanted plus a little extra.... a massager:)

Sneak Peek.....

Just a little sneak peek as to what my trip looked like.......

This was the sunrise early one morning. It was absolutely beautiful, but not near as beautiful as the sunset!!!!

I have a lot of pictures to share and little stories.

So when I get a little bit of time at home, I will start blogging about our trip.

I will tell you this much, it was a wonderful trip and we are already planning another one!

103 Pounds of nothing but stuff!

Well, the time is almost here! We are leaving at 4:30 tomorrow morning for Kansas City! Our flight leaves at 10:55.

I have all our suitcases packed, except for the last minutes items. I thought I better get them weighed in, so I wouldn't have to pay any extra. So here are the finals.....

Suitcase #1: 38.4 pounds

Suitcase #2: 23.4 pounds

Suitcase #3: 18.8 pounds

Suitcase #4: 22.4 pounds

Suitcases #3 and 4 could be combined, but I want to make sure and have a suitcase for nothing but souvenirs on the way home. so they are packed "lightly".

Last night I got all of the kids stuff packed for their overnight stays at Grandma and Grampsie's, Grandma and Da's and Uncle Yancey's. I delivered all of their bags this morning.

I got us checked in and our boarding passes printed about 25 minutes ago. So we are ready to board the plane.

I still have a few last minute things to do but nothing major! I am getting soooooo excited that I can't keep from smiling today.

Keep us in your prayers for safe travels and pray that Jared takes the news very well that he will not be wearing his "lace up" boots! Also, pray for sanity for the grandparents and Uncle Yancey! Please also pray that my kids are well behaved and are safe in whatever and wherever they go.

I will miss you guys! See ya next week!!!

Braylon's Ready!

The boys have been super jealous of us going on our trip. So I have been telling them that if Jared loves the cruise that we will go in a couple of years so all of us can go. So on Sunday Braylon wanted to go hunting with his dad so I told him to get dressed and I would go meet his dad so he could go hunting. 30 minutes later he was still not dressed. I finally went in to help him and he didn't want to wear the camo pants I got out for him. He wanted jeans! Well there were no jeans in his drawers. I thought this was weird considering he has like 10 pairs and I knew the laundry was caught up for the most part. So when I went looking and got back in his room there he was putting on his jeans. I said "where did you find those?" and his repsonse was "in my suitcase!" He had packed his suitcase one night last week. I asked him why he had his suitcase packed and he responded with "I wanted my clothes ready so if Daddy likes the cruise, we can go." Poor little guy doesn't understand that it is a long time away! He had 5 pairs of jeans packed, some socks and underwear and his swimming trunks. No wonder I couldn't find any of his jeans!

Crazy kid~!~
