I can't believe I have known you since the 3rd grade. My how time flies!

There is a picture of us girls posing like this in our senior yearbook.
Ahhh...good times

To Lupe, Sara, Tracie and Marisol:
Thank you so much for coming over. It was so fun looking at photos, reminiscing about old times and catching up on our lives. I do not remember the last time I laughed so hard. It was a blast! We must do this again really soon. You all are ALWAYS welcome.
Until then ladies....I miss you and love you!


Sara...you left a certain beverage at my house. I will keep it for next time.

Decorating Part II

Thank you Ana and Chris for the gift certificates that helped us purchase the clock I have been wanting for a really long time.

Good job Handsome!

How does it look?

Decorating Part I

I have decided to start decorating little by little every month....
when I have the time....
and the money.

Here is what I have going so far in the master bathroom.

I am very proud of this fake plant because I made it all by myself!
I bought the pot at Vivo.
AND it was half off!
AND I used a gift certificate that Ana gave me in 2002.
Thank you Ana! I FINALLY used it!
I bought the flowers and leaves at World Market.
The styrofoam and moss from Michaels.
And Boughta Bing Boughta Boo
I made this masterpiece.
Okay so it's not a masterpiece but it's pretty good for an amateur.

I also bought this Cross from Vivo.
Thank you again Ana.
The plant is from Home Goods
If you can't tell they are on top of our cabinets in the kitchen.

This is the wall in our guest bathroom.
I like to call it the Geisha bathroom.
I had been looking for geisha pictures and
didn't have much luck finding something I really liked.
THEN Allison to the rescue!
When Allison, her hubby and baby Aiden came to visit
she brought us this awesome piece of art.
It's not a picture.
If you look closely you can see the geisha is made of fabric.
Very nice!

Thank you Allison! It looks great!

First Dinner Guest to Eat on Our New Table

Last night the McCrackins came over for dinner. I was so excited to finally use my new table. Thank you Joe and Danielle for coming over. Thank you Handsome for helping me with everything. I hope everyone liked my Chile Colorado. It came out better then the last time I tried to make it.
