I wanted to start keeping a book of ideas for things I like for our house someday. We saw this fabric this weekend and I love it. Terence thinks it’s too light, but I think for your bedroom it should be light and airy and peaceful. I wanted to get three euro shams made from the paisley fabric. Terence’s mom could probably make us something like that because she is an excellent seamstress. Also, we ended up canceling our order for the bed we got from Restoration Hardware because it was back ordered for five months!!! I’m sure we can find something just as good in the near future….anyway here is the fabric.I also love the idea of pumpkin colored walls. It’s something I really have liked for a long time. It just feels warm and homey to me.

Friday night-stayed in and ate a pizza while watching the “Sarah Conner Chronicles” series on DVD. I also made chocolate mousse 🙂

Saturday-We drove to Southlake and looked around. Terence likes to go to an electronic store there and he likes to sit there and listen to speakers. That is his dream one day to have his own theater room….isn’t that every guy??? I swear he was like a kid in a candy store. It’s funny to watch. After that we ate lunch and then went to see Marley & Me and it was sooo good! It was very sad, Terence and I both cried. I think it sort of hit home because Terence’s family dog “Guess” died New Years Eve. They’ve had her for about 13 years so that was very sad.

Sunday- We woke up and went to church this morning, came home and took naps, then went to Chili’s with Terence’s brother Paul and his wife. They asked us if we would be the guardians of their kids in their will, of course we said YES. Duh! I would do that for any family member. I feel honored that they think of us in that way and entrust us with their babies.

Well, I’m off to bed! Nightie night

Oh-Terence is a dart lovin fool. I was actually beating him when he said the board was “broken”!!! Yeah right!

I am so excited because in a few weeks we are going to Big Cedar Lodge near Branson for a couples weekend with our good friends Kristin & Nate. It will be so nice to getaway and relax for a few days! Have any of you ever been there? I haven’t, but I have heard nothing but good things about it.


Nate & Kristin

Terence and I spent the day shopping around at the after Christmas sales. We both found a pair of jeans at Nordstrom on SERIOUS sale so we had to get them! He got some AG jeans, and I got another pair of Joe’s Jeans (they are the only ones that fit my booty!) We both need to lose some weight so we are going to start trying to make conscious decisions about our diet….even though today when T ordered a NON-FAT latte instead of a regular one he just about hurled…hmmm…..that may take some work.


Also-the other day I had a $50 off coupon so I used it to buy the Brighton watch I’d been wanting for a GREAT price as well! I love it!

I got this cute glass jar today at Williams Sonoma for $11!!! I love it too and I have no idea what I will put in this, but I’ve seen the jars on other people’s decorating blogs and I just LOVE them.

They also sell Dylan’s Candy Bar chocolate at Williams Sonoma now and I’ve been wanting to try it being the chocolate phene I am..ha..ha..It was good! But not worth $3.95 a bar 🙁 At least I have tried it now and gotten that out of my system.

I can’t believe 2008 is officially over! It’s been quite a year for us full of changes and adjustments. I am really looking forward to 2009 and what the Lord has in store for us. We just got home from a wonderful night out with friends at a fancy restaurant at which we waited over two hours for a table 🙁 It was worth it and we had a great time!!!

CHEERS TO ALL OF YOU! MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN THE COMING YEAR!!!
