Finally!!!

If you read my blog back in June, I mentioned all of the things that we still would like to do to our house. One of the main things that needed work is the basement. While it is finished we still did not have a couch. Well, this week finally decided on something and we received it yesterday. We have it all set up and it feels great to get this off of our to do list. The set we got is above. Sorry I cannot figure out how to get it to go in the body of blog where I want it. Alaina I need some blogging lessons. :)

Also, since my last blog we have set up our spare bedroom and I bought a few things to hang on the walls. Now I just need to get Ryan to hang them up. Our bedroom has new curtains and is the one room that is 100% done to my taste. In the living room I have a few things on the wall now, I plan to ask for some other items I have had my eye on for xmas. After that the living room will also be done. The kitchen just needs a few finishing touches, but nothing major. The next major project will be the bar area in the basement and basement bathroom, which we are completely redoing. We plan to get these projects going in January. After that only one thing left and that is ripping up all of our carpet and refinishing the hardwood floors underneath. The hardwood is beautiful and original from when the house was built over 5o years ago, but has been covered for most part because carpet was in style all these years. I am really pumped and cannot wait until we have the hardwood floors exposed! I am anticipating the day when all our home improvement projects will be completed. Oh the joys of home ownership!

New Boots!

I bought these boots yesterday, I have been wanting a pair of gray suede ones for awhile and they finally went on sale at Macy's. They don't look exactly like this they are a tiny bit shorter (don't have the extra length in the front) and they have three little buttons on the side of the boot at the top. I love them! I get so excited about shoes, not sure why, but now I can't wait to wear them!

Oh Where Did October Go?

Between the stress of school, work, and all the other things in my life that have been crazy, October has almost passed me by in a glance. It seems like yesterday I was just celebrating my 24th birthday (10/4) and now there is only 2 days left this month. The reason this month passed by so quickly probably has a lot to do with the fact that school work has taken over my life. And from the looks of the syllabus, next month is going to be just as bad. I am ready for December, then I will have some time off until I start back up in February. We also have a wedding the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weekends in November, I never knew it was such a popular month to get married. Don't get me wrong I love weddings, but with everything I have going on it is hard to enjoy them as well as I would like. I am really looking forward my friend Tricia's wedding November 15th. Ryan and I are both in the wedding and I know we all are going to have so much fun. I think my biggest problem is that with everything going on (extra long hours at work and piles of homework) I feel as if I am in a rut. I am trying my best to enjoy life and keep my spirits up, I cannot let these things get me down. I have my good days and bad days and today is one of those pretty good days.

I am looking forward to Friday, Halloween! Ryan and I are dressing up as Fred and Wilma Flintstone. I must say though, I am thankful I was not born with orange hair, it does not suit my complexion very well. We got the costumes in the mail on Monday and we both still need to try them on. They should be fine since Ryan has already tried it on in the store and it fit perfectly and tried on the medium in the store and it was pretty big. They did not have any smalls anywhere so that is why we ordered them. I will post a pic of us sporting our costumes next week sometime. Also, for those you that have facebook or myspace I added a ton of pics. I tend to store months of them up on my camera and then download them at once. Well I better get back to work.

Ugh....

I am not sure what my deal is, but lately I just do not feel like myself. I have been just feeling so unhappy about everything. I know that there are somethings that I am certainly stressed about, but I know that my life could be much worse and I should feel lucky, but I cannot shake this feeling. It is like I am walking around just plain old depressed. I really wish I could get out of my funk. I dread getting out of bed in the morning cause I am so tired of my job I could puke, literally. And then on the weekend I get to look forward to homework. I know that I am mostly just doing this to myself, and it will not help me feeling sorry for myself. I really do not know what to do. I am just so frustrated with myself, with life, and with several people in my life. At this point I just don't know.

It is Friday!

I am soooooooooooo tired. We went to the Kenny Chesney concert last night. It rained on us, which kinda of stunk, but the show he put on made up for it. He literally played for almost 4 hours. I was not in bed until 1:30 am and so now I am at work trying to keep my eyes open. Just 30 more minutes!

Ryan is feeling awful this morning, which is tough on him since he is never sick. I think that since he rarely gets sick, he does not handle it too well. Hopefully he will start feeling better.

We have plans to head to Cape tomorrow and I am excited, just have to gets lots of errands done this afternoon and find someone to keep Brodie. The person we had lined up had to cancel. It is really like having a child, lol. Well gotta get off here and try to catch Ryan to discuss our new dilemma. I would be really disappointed if we can't figure it out and cannot go. :( Happy Friday!

Gettin my hair did :)

So today I have a hair appt. I plan to get my hair cut and also dyed. The picture I have in this blog is similar to what I wanting it to be cut like. It is not too much different than what I have not just more of blunt cut. As far as the color I am have not fully decided, guess I will just make that decision once I get there. :) As always, I am nervous and excited to get a new do. Wish me luck!

Six Random Things About Me

1. I care too much about what people think about me. I know that most people do care what others think, but I seriously care too much.

2. I really would love to have a baby now, but my common sense kicks me in the butt everytime I think about it. I am just too busy right now with work and school, I would not be able to do the things with my baby that I would like to do. So a few more years. :)

3. I will only eat fresh green beans from the garden or green beans with cream of mushroom soup on them. This is something I have always did, so maybe I would like canned green beans without anything on them now, but I have not tried it.

4. I would love to retire and help Ryan build up his business. It is at a standstill right now because neither of us have time to anything extra. And if there was no business I would still want to retire. :)

5. I love sweet tea! Especially McDonald's, it tastes like my mom's and it is made with Splenda. No calories and tastes amazing! I also love soda, but I gave it up for the most part because of the calories and refuse to drink diet soda. So for now I will just enjoy my water and if I really need caffeine I just spring for the regular soda or iced tea.

6. The total of weddings that I attended this year is TEN! Four of which I am in. So that makes all 10 different bachelorette parties and 10 different bridal showers. So 30 weekends of 2008 are filled with wedding stuff. It is a good thing I love weddings and all that goes with them!
