Father Of The Bride House

Okay. Seriously. Who wouldn't love to live in this home?

Well, guess what? It is actually for sale! lol. It is located somewhere in CA. going for over 1 MILLION dollars! It is the famous home that was featured in "Father of the Bride" and "Guess Who". I absolutely love this house! It is one of my favorite movies too.

I would love to have the kitchen in this house...with that beautiful vintage fan!

So I am at work today - feeling super blessed to have a wonderful job and a great family. *smiles* We have been super busy decorating our house for Christmas and trimming our tree. We have our stockings hung by the chimney with care. *winks* R.A. is getting so excited! He is waiting for Santa to bring him some new Lego's. Ha Ha. E.J. has a little cold right now. I am hoping he will be better by Christmas.

This year I just feel SUPER blessed. After everything that happened with me and my husband back in the late spring / early summer. I am so glad that is all behind us now. Looking forward to an amazing, inspirational, blessed 2012!

What are your plans for Christmas? Going out of town? Over seas? Military men coming home?

Any good recipes you are planning to work up for Christmas dinner?

BTW: Does anyone out there have a good Pork Loin recipe? For Christmas dinner? Maybe something with cranberries or pomengranates? Please and thank you! *smiles*

Past & Present

(Me and my hunny at our office party -The Olive Garden)

Sorry for the lack of updates folks. Busy busy around here, I'm afraid.

(Our Thanksgiving Table Spread)

Halloween - E.J. was a cow! How adorable! *smiles*

R.A. was a sweet little puppy!!

I will try to update more often - I went back to work, so I don't have as much time as I used to. lol. I will be working half days starting in January though, so that will make it a little easier. *winks* Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a great holiday!

Been A While!

Wow. It sure has been a while! In the past month we have purchased a home! It has been crazy busy around here. I will update soon. For sure. I also started working again! Crazy, huh?!?! lol. Sorry for the lack of updates. Will update soon. I hope. :)

E.J. turns 1!

This past week our little E.J. turned 1 year old! It was a bittersweet day.

We are still in the process of moving.

There are boxes everywhere! I am so happy to move in though and get settled.

I will most definitely be posting pictures of everything once I have decorated.

*smiles*

I'm feeling pretty good lately.

NEW HOUSE!

OUR NEW HOUSE!

We are so happy to start the next chapter of our lives together as a family.

The Lord brings many blessings - this was definitely one of my favorites.

GUESS WHAT?

WE GOT THE HOUSE!

We should be moved in before the end of October! We are so excited. I will post pictures tomorrow evening. *smiles* Could I be more excited? I think not. Not remotely possible.

(btw: this photo is from google.com it is not the house we purchased. lol.)

Fall is here!

Hello fellow bloggers! Sorry my posts are so far and few between. *frowns* I have been one super-busy Momma these past couple of months. Can you believe Fall is here? Already?! Wow. The summer flew by, for sure. R.A. turned 4 in July and we were going to put him in pre-k 4 but decided last minute to keep him home another year. *smiles* Kids need time to be kids. Ya know?

We have been very crafty the past few days around here. (I will post pictures soon. *winks*) I am so happy Fall is here! It is my favorite season of all! I have my Yankee Candle tart warmers runnin' full steam, baking pies, canning salsa, chili, jams, juices, and more! Gosh I love Fall! Have I mentioned that already? lol. I decorated/stenciled some pumpkins today. For the first time, I tried something new. And guess what? I loved it! (Will post pictures of those as well. *winks*)

R.A. and I made some stencil leaves on paper with colored pencils, a pine cone bird feeder, window shapes, and more! Already! And it isn't even October. *happy sigh* Also...did I mention...WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A HOUSE! We have been looking for the past couple of months...and well, we really like this one. *smiles* It is in the country and it is beautiful! It has soooo much room for our family of four. We need way more space than this 2 bedroom apartment is giving us. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful to the good Lord above, that He has given us a roof over our head, food on our table, cars to drive, and clothes on all of our backs. It would just be nice to have a place for our boys to play. And room to 'roam'. Everything happens in HIS timing though. I need to keep reminding myself of that.

And...I started a new book series a month or two ago. It is by Maggie Stiefvater. I love her! First book, "Shiver". Second book, "Linger". Third book, "Forever". Amazing books! You must read them. Go on. Do it. Read it. Now! lol. Seriously though, very good books! If you like "Twilight", you will LOVE these books!

Okay...so I've rambled on enough. Will update soon. Well - I'll try atleast *winks*
