Terence and I went and looked at some townhouses for sale tonight. This was mostly just for fun, but we also wanted to look at them and get some ideas because hopefully in the NEAR future we will be purchasing a home….I would love for that to be in AR, but I will be thankful for wherever the Lord provides.
I just got off the phone with my Mom and every time I talk to her or my Dad my heart just aches because I miss them so much! Anyone know of any MBA/business management jobs in AR??? ha..ha..ha..

All in all I think I am still leaning towards purchasing a house. I’m not all that impressed with the condo/townhouse lifestyle. I know it’s less maintenance, but I really want my own house. The layouts in these two were also kind of weird. The kitchen/main living area was on the SECOND floor. The main level was an entry/office/guest bedroom/bath. The second level was a powder room/kitchen/living area. The third level was the master bedroom/bath. It was a great view from the top, but all those stairs were daunting!

We bought a new bed tonight while shopping in Dallas. Terence and I have been saving for things we are going to need to furnish our house next year. We both really liked this bed and have been eying it for awhile. It was on sale and we are so excited about our new beautiful bed!

Well…it’s official! Our Christmas shopping is DONE! We have shopped until we dropped! Yesterday Terence and I went shopping and then ate dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. We sat out on the patio area and it was a little too cold to eat outside last night! They did have heaters and everything and it also gave me an excuse to try their hot chocolate because I was so coooold!

Here’s the view shopping…isn’t it pretty?

Tonight we went to Dallas and the Galleria had the most beautiful Christmas trees. One was in the ice rink and they had little girls ice skating all around it. It was precious! I just love this time of year!

Beautiful lit up trees

This is a cute display at a house down the street and I had to take a picture for my Mom because she just loves penguins and these are adorable.

I got these fabulous blinky antlers at one of my favorite stores Restoration Hardware. They have the cutest little stocking stuffers and we love their furniture and just about everything else they have in the store!

6 Random Things About Me:

• I love anything sparkly and glittery. The more BLING the better!
• I secretly want to move somewhere cold so I can wear sweaters and jackets all year round. I don’t like hot weather at all. I hate to sweat!
• Death seriously scares me, not because I don’t know that I am a christian, but the thought of pain and sorrow. I don’t know what I would do if anything ever happened to Terence…I think I would curl up in the fetal position and die too.
• I have bad anxiety I worry about EVERYTHING! I need to learn to let go…
• I don’t eat red meat.
• I want to move to New York and work in the Godiva chocolate factory, only because if you work there you get to sample every piece of chocolate they make so you’ll know the product! ha!
