the truth about tonight

Tonight I am sitting in my messy house, cuddled on the couch in my PINK sweats and slippers made by momma.

I will admit that I am enjoying blog stalking a little too much to get up and do anything about the messiness or the loads of laundry waiting for my attention.

Dinner is done and I'm just waiting for my husby to get home so we can eat together.

In the meantime, let me share two things.

First, my BFF (FFFFFFFFFFF) Ashlee posted the cutest post. Because she is the bomb.

Check it out.

Second, listen to this song. Play it loud. It's a get-your-good-feelers-goin kind of song. It maybe even made me burst into a session of interpretive dancing in my kitchen. Good thing the blinds are closed.

PS-- You might have to go pause our wedding video from another post so that you don't have both things playing

It's a good one, huh?

I stole it from Annie.

I just wish I could have a secret pass to all of her music.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 5TH 2012

♥ 10:30 PM Send text to Caramie saying "I don't work until 10:30 tomorrow. We shall take a gallivant to the salvage yard. See you at 9:00. Peace and blessings."

♥ 9:05 AM Caramie walks in her door after taking Hadlee to School, only to find me eating a bowl of cereal in her kitchen. 

♥ 9:15 AM We arrive at the salvage yard and find many treasures but leave with none because the funny mexicans wanted too many dollars for an old crate box. "Ya know, dey don't make dem like dis anymore. Twenty dolla." Uhm... no thanks. I'll come back when your boss man is here. He gives better deals.

♥ 9:30 AM Caramie wants to show me another place we should go look.

♥ 9:37 AM I say "remember that one time we went the wrong way on a one way? We shouldn't be allowed to be downtown together. That has happened one 
too many times."

♥ 9:42 AM We arrive at the other place but they are closed. We make a U-turn.

♥ 9:42 (and 34 seconds) AM We find ourselves going the wrong way on a one way.

♥ 9:43 AHHHH!! (I scream like a crazy person)  Crash.

And that is how Caramie got in a wreck.

I will take 49% of the blame. 

Oops. 

Poor sister. 

I am so sorry.

These poor children are probably traumatized.

Mostly from my scream, not the crash. 

See the cop there through the window? He was actually pretty cool.

When I was in the car with the girls and Caramie was talking to the cop, Cora said, "Dat wed caw (red car) is mean. Dat caw hit me. I hate dat caw."

And now Ayz says, "Tum wook at mine car. Is broken."

I need help...

This post relates a lot to my last one except I am not in love with how this one turned out. 

In my head, it was going to be adorable but when it came to life, it turned out to be pretty... blah. 

I have this large ceramic pot that I really want to make a statement. 

Again, I love this thing.

I may or may not have spent lots of wedding dollars on it at Pottery Barn.

It needs something and I thought this was just going to be all-that-and-a-bag-a-chips but it's really not floating my boat. 

I mean, when have book page hearts ever not worked out?

Never.

Until now.

I am open for suggestions.

HELP.

What do I do with this thaaaang?

Kelly says we should grow a tree in it :)  
Perhaps a love fern!! ♥

beans beans the magical fruit

I'll let you finish the song.

This is our trough.

This is how I filled it! 

With beans. 

I have been in love with this trough from the moment I saw it. We bought it for the wedding and as cute as it is, it was hard to find a place for it, but we did. Now it resides on our kitchen table. I looooove it. 

It has sat empty for a couple months with plans of filling it but yesterday, it finally happened. 

And look how cuuuuuute!! 

Did I mention I love it? 

And I will leave you with this conglomeration for a laugh. 

Coras idea. 

"Wets do anooooddder one!!"

We are happy. 

We are in love. 

Things are good.

Welcome to Omaha!

I would like for you all to have a little taste of Omaha so.. 

Here you go! 

These are the big slides right in the middle of downtown Omaha. 

Seriously, every time we go here, my inner child comes out. 

I have to restrain myself from making the loop of running up the stairs and coming down the slide again and again and again.

This here is just a nice little park in the middle of town. 

Now this... this is a glorified picture of the pedestrian bridge.

I quite enjoy it. And you know the funnest part?

Right in the middle of it, you cross the border into Iowa. Ha! Neat huh?

This picture doesn't really have anything to do with tourism of Omaha but it does have to do with three of my favorite little stinkers! 

I love surprise visits from them. Even if it is just to get a popsicle. 

five eleven twelve

So basically.. I'll just tell you it was the best day of our lives. 

Well, at least I hope Kelly agrees with me! :) 

And let me set this straight because we were asked a bajillion times at our reception, Kelly is not a pilot. Nor am I. Nor is my dad. Or his dad. Or really anyone in relation to us. But if you refer back to this post, you might understand why we decided to have our reception in the airport hanger.  

Annnd... you might have to go pause the other video that is a couple posts down so you don't have double time music going on!
