Good News and Bad News

The Bad News..... On Saturday I woke up to the sound of my dogs chewing on something. This is not unusual so I didn't think much of it. When I rolled out of bed, I was shocked to see one of my favorite black heels ripped to shreds. They were Franco Sartos that I got in May and they were perfect. I shook it off and decided to look at it as an opportunity to shop for new black heels. So, on Sunday, I went to DSW and purchased the 2ND pair of perfect black heels. I went to put them on this morning, and behold, I have one 71/2 and one 8. Not going to work. I quickly changed my outfit, put the shoes in the bag, found the receipt, and headed out the door for work. 10 minutes later, I see flashing red and blue lights flashing behind me. One of my headlights is out and that caught the attention of the Tech Police (not even the real cops). He gave me a warning but totally wasted my time and added one more notch on the not so perfect morning. I knew the day had to get better.

The Good News....I am stenciling a damask pattern in my bathroom and it looks great. I still have to do the tops of the walls but I need Mike to be here in case I fall on my head. I am super busy at work which is good cause it keeps my mind off the fact that Mike and I will be married 2 months from today!!!! I'm excited but beginning to feel nervous. So, things with school and home are good.

Prayer Request....My friend, Gina, is pregnant and had her first ultrasound today. They did not see a heartbeat. They decided to let nature take its course and go back to the doctor next Monday. Pray that they will heal from this and not lose heart. Jeff and Gina will be amazing parents someday!

Have a great week everyone!

Twilight


This weekend I have been in Ft. Worth babysitting my niece. We have had a blast. On Friday, we went to Target (her favorite store) and made cupcakes. While at Target, I purchased a book to read in the evenings and during her nap times. Yesterday, we went to Hulen Mall and to the Container Store,which I love. It was fun and then we settled in for a quiet afternoon at home. We have watched The Aristocats and 101 Dalmations too many times to count but I love how excited she gets about Pongo and how afraid she gets when Cruella Deville is on. I remember having those same feelings as a child. Back to the real subject of this post. Twilight is close to 500 pages and I really haven't been susceptible to all the hype surrounding this book due to the fact that it involves vampires. I HATE VAMPIRES. I saw one vampire movie when I was little and have had nightmares ever since. To my surprise or demise, I'm not sure which, I could not put this book down. I read it from cover to cover in less than 48 hours and cannot wait to go buy the sequel, New Moon. By the way, the movie comes out November 21 and although that is 8 days before my wedding, you know I will be in line at the theater for tickets. I cannot say enough about this book. I know it is technically for teenagers but Harry Potter was for kids too. I think this saga is going to be so much better than Harry Potter and I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. Read it and you will understand.

sorry

I know it has been forever but I have been busy with wedding stuff. I think there are 73 days left. The countdown is on!

Check out this awesome photographer/cinematographer I found while "researching". Their videos are to die for.
