1. We had a great weekend. We spent the weekend in NC visiting family for my birthday and our “very early Easter.” It’s a hard job to get everyone’s schedules together so we take it when we can. I had a session on Friday evening, then some yummy dinner followed by a late night of hanging out. Saturday we ate lunch at one of our FAVORITE places, Smith’s, it was delicious and for dinner we celebrated my birthday at Italian Garden- it was much fun. Sunday was our Easter and Logan had a BLAST hunting his plastic eggs, over and over and over again- and much to his surprise finding awesome prizes in three of them (oh, yea money!!) It was much fun, but I was glad to finally be home.
2. Yesterday was our one year anniversary. one year ago, yesterday (April, 10th), all our bags were packed (and lots of boxes too). we put NC in our rearview, making one of the biggest decisions we've made to date. happy we did, more everyday. home sweet home, tennessee. It’s so hard to believe that it has already been a year, I think because we have been in some what of a whirlwind since we moved, time seems to move much faster in God’s country. I must admit that it was not an easy feat when we first moved, but never the less we always thought it was the right decision. I am so glad we jumped even though we had NO idea where we would land.
3. A while back I wrote about a gallery wrapped canvas- how I had always wanted one, and how I had found a site that gives you a free 8x10 or $50 towards any size you want, yadda yadda. Well, shortly after I posted that- I found the picture I wanted to use, worked it up to have a different look (with my hubby’s help, because after all he is the best editor. He saw inside my brain, knew exactly what I wanted and executed it amazingly- and let me tell you, that is NOT an easy job…at all, lol.) I ordered it and now I am awaiting its arrival. It should be here any day now and I am so excited, of course I will share a picture of it.
4. I’m working hard getting caught up on my project life, I was about a month behind so getting caught up has taken some time. It has to be said AGAIN, I LOVE PROJECT LIFE. It is AH-MAZING- I discover that more every time I open it and look thru the pages. I can tell you everything about everyday since Jan. the details and I love that, SO MUCH. I am eager to share the progress with you, when I get completely caught up.
5. Everyday I check Living Social and Groupon for great deals that I might be interested in. Most of the time, I’m not- but a couple times now I (we) have been. A while back we bought two movie tickets for $9 on living social- we just couldn’t pass those up. We haven’t used them yet- but we just might in a couple weeks. Friday, I received an email or fb post (something) from a store that I “like”- Everyday Keepsakes. She makes hand stamped jewelry KINDA like the bracelet that I wear everyday, never take it off, my most favorite piece of jewelry (other than my engagement ring and band), hand stamped with “logan.” Anyway, the email that I received said that she (Everyday Keepsakes) was being featured on Groupon for the usual 24 hours. You spend $17 for $35 worth of merchandise (great deal to start with). Of course I was excited because I have been eye-balling her goods for a while now. Then I remembered that a few days back I received an email from groupon offering me $10 off of ANY Groupon deal. Say what?!? I would pay $7 for $35 worth of merchandise- needless to say it was then that I got really excited and made my first Groupon purchase that I am beyond thrilled about. Now the hard part is deciding which one I want and getting it ordered. Which one shall I choose?!? hmmmm...
6. We are getting super excited about our beach trip; it’s only a month away now. Lo talks about it everyday. He has his envelope that he has been saving his money in for months now and I must say he has racked up! Momma and Daddy may have to borrow from him, lol. Every dollar he gets he says- “save it for the beach!” Which makes me SO proud, since I am big on saving; I love the fact that he already is learning how important it is and how to be a good saver.
7. My birthday is creeping up- twelve more days to be exact and I am getting really excited. I don’t know WHY- I just am. I know that Lo is going to be so excited and happy that it’s my birthday, I am anxiously awaiting that extra good birthday love from him. I am still trying to decide on where my birthday dinner will be held at- it’s become a hard decision. I had originally wanted to try something new, but I think I may be leaning towards the favorite; Olive Garden, who knows though, I’m indecisive like that, lol.
8. On Saturday after lunch (while in NC) we went to the pet store a couple doors down to let Lo have a little looksie (mainly at the dragons). I had thought, they are probably fairly cheap- we will probably end up getting one- I mean what would be more awesome than having a real life dragon. Well, they were not cheap, like…AT ALL! They had the CUTEST baby bearded dragon, oh my goodness, we automatically fell in love with. We hated to say goodbye, but daddy said that it would probably make for an awesome birthday present for the boy. I guess we shall see. For the time being, we will just talk about how cool it would be to have said dragon! :)
9. I have a guilty pleasure.
I guess you would like for me to elaborate on that some, eh?!? I, Crystal, love the Real Housewives of Orange Co. am addicted to the Real Housewives of Orange Co… I started watching past seasons last year and got hooked. I am enthralled by their lifestyle- so much so they have sucked me in. They’re in their new season now- 10:00 on Sunday night rolls around and I am glued to the t.v. set (when I say “me” I mean “we!” Yes, the darling hubster watches it with me…he’s the best!)
10. I am looking forward to getting back to the workout grind today. I was out of commission last week due to an injury, bless. Monday morning, mid workout, I hear a loud cracking noise followed by crashing to the floor in an excessive amount of leg pain. I had twisted (or something) my right ankle. O.M.G, y’all. I thought I had, I don’t know, DIED OR SOMETHING from the intense amount of pain. I didn’t know if I had broke it or sprang it, what. All I knew is that it hurt so bad that I couldn’t even cry. I was hyperventilating from the quick and intense amount of pain. I called the hubby at work- bless his heart he RUSHED home in a panic to tend to me. He helped me get my shoe off, see if I could move it and then iced it for me. Luckily, no breakage, although don’t be fooled, it sounded as if there should have been bones poking thru my skin; it felt that way as well. Needless to say, it hurt ALL week and I didn’t want to do anything to make it worse. I did do some on the elliptical but not nearly enough, so I feel frumpy and eager to get back to meeting my goal.
Happy Monday, Y'all!
