Face-Lift

Adam and I are in the throws of remodeling/decorating our bedroom and bathroom- something we have never done. The first thing we did was give our bed a face-lift. Its been through a lot of moving and not a lot of TLC. So we painted it and bought it some new clothes. I must say, it looks fab. The best part is that the bed is a wedding gift from my dad MADE by my dad. He is a talented guy. Just thought I'd show it off a bit. :) I can't wait to get everything done!!

Oh and I should also mention that my hubby made the night stand you see next to the bed. Ain't I a lucky girl?

Fine Jewelry?

I have never felt so officially white trash as I did the night Adam and I bought a wedding ring at *a-hem* Wal-mart. It was so romantic... This was to replace the one Adam lost about a year and a half ago. He lost his nice, expensive wedding ring that had the inscription "I love you, Baby 9-27-02" to the *gulp* bottom of Palisades Lake. It still makes me sick to think about it. But as much as I didn't like him living life ringless I didn't want him buying some cheap-o ring from...like...Wal-mart. So what do we do? Yep, you guessed it. There it was, gleaming underneath the bright, flourescent lights. It was a mere $38 bucks, resembled his previous ring AND came with a fancy card board box. How could we resist? We snickered through the entire purchase while trying not offend the lovely employee assisting us.
It had been so long since I had seen a ring on his finger and I was tired of him always being hit on at the bars we frequent...kidding. I'm so happy to have a husband that is so un-snobbish and easy to please despite his extreme distaste for good old "Wally's".

My Funny Valentine's

Adam was out of town for Valentine's Day but that didn't mean I was left Valentineless. In fact I had TWO and boy are they sweet.
I won't lie to you though. This was probably my least favorite V-day. Okay, not probably. It WAS...by far! As much as I LOVE watching "Mickey Mouse Playhouse" on the night for lovers well... My honey who has been my Valentine for the past 6 years was nowhere NEAR me on the 14th of February. When I told people that Adam was going to be out of town for V-day, I was loaded with sympathy and plenty of "Ohhhhhhhh!" 's. I shrugged them off honestly feeling it was no biggie. I was wrong. By the time evening rolled around I was feeling pretty pathetic and lonely. Keep in mind that Adam had been gone for 4 days by this point. A long time for me! And to top it off we had barely managed a "hello" by phone all day. It also didn't help that everyone's status on Facebook stated that they had had the "most wonderful Valentine's EVER." Well, that's funny because mine was the WORST ever. Okay not really.
So now that a few days have passed and Adam is home I've decided that I'm just grateful that I have a wonderful husband who is my Valentine year around. Who needs Valentine's Day anyway? Not me...I think...
BTW- Adam made it up to me when he got home.
You can go ahead and get your mind out of the gutter now.

How bad could V-day be with these two monkey's?!
