Three Things Thursday: The Little Things

* My bathtub caddy recently came in and it is a wonderful invention!  Nothing is more relaxing than a bubble bath, a glass of wine, a good book and my favorite limelight candle! 

* Putting my make-up on in bed.  Yea, you may think that's odd... But I don't need a mirror to put my "face" on and it gives me just a few more minutes to snuggle in the warm covers! 

* Automatic car washes.  I especially like the ones that shoot out the pretty pink, blue, and purple stuff.  It's like a rainbow across your car! 

Enjoy the little things! Happy Thursday :)

3 Things

Three Things Thursday..... Yea, it's only Tuesday.  I am getting ahead of myself :)


1. It's no secret that I am very clumsy.  Just this week I have caught the oven mitt on fire... as in flames!  I dropped our fully cooked casserole upside down in the oven.  I've run into different walls more times than I can count and the list goes on and on.

2. My mother and brother have been staying with me and I have been reading about 1 book every day or every other day.  My mom asked me if I was reading another romance novel.  Well DUH! :)  I love romance novels.  Yes, they all end the same.  Girl and guy meet, girl and guy fall in love.  But, I continue reading romance books because of the journey that the girl and guy go through.  I enjoy the journey to the destination.  It's fun and exciting and unpredictable.... well maybe a little predictable because they always end up together.


3. Landon's Christmas present came to the house yesterday.  It is a Chuggington train track.  The Brewster wash and fuel set.  It is taking all I have not to open the box and put it together.  It is just SO neat.  The trains talk to each other and everything.  Toys are so much cooler now then they were when I was little.

Three Things Thursday

1.  I know I haven't blogged in over a month!  I just get soooo busy and tend to put things on the back burner for later.  I have been working on our house and the more I work on it, the more I feel like that I am not getting anything done!  Very annoying and frustrating.  BUT when I step back and think about what the house looked like just 4 weeks ago, I notice how far we have actually come.  My mom bought this beautiful potted plant/flower for our front porch.  Let's just say that I am the opposite of a green thumb.  I did everything that I was told to do to take care of it AND I followed the directions that came with it, but somehow still ended up killing it.  Maybe one day I will be good at taking care of plants....


2.  It seems like everyone around me is having a baby or getting preggo!! I for one am not ready for that and am staying away from new borns for the time being.... I know you can't really get baby cuties, but I just don't want to take the chance! haha People keep asking me if I have baby fever and no, no I don't. I'm not sure if I will actually ever have "baby fever" I get PUPPY fever! :) This past weekend Tanner and I added to our family, a baby laboykin. He is a lab and boykin mix and just has the cutest personality! We made a decision that Max would be our last animal addition to the family. Living in the city has its limits and we just don't have enough room for any more animals! Well....maybe a bird or fish...? I'm just kidding!



3.  Is it really June?? Man has this year gone by fast!  I guess with all the excitement of being a newly wed, being promoted and purchasing a new home has just made this year fly by.  Next month will be a year that Tanner and I have been married! CRAZY!  People always say that the first year of marriage is the hardest.  Well I'll tell you what I have learned... Yes it is hard, BUT you just have to learn to ignore things.  Like the fact that that your significant other throws his clothes on the floor.... not even a foot from the laundry basket.  I mean come on, just sneeze and your clothes will make it into the basket.  But instead of starting an unnecessary argument over nothing, just let it roll.  Save your energy to argue about the more important things! haha!!  I'm just kidding.  Try your best not to argue but instead have a conversation.


I hope everyone has a marvelous Thursday!!

Three Things Thursday: The Lucky One

If you have seen the Lucky One then you know that it is a good movie.  If you have read the book then you know that the movie was VERY disappointing!  Regardless, there are still some quotes from the Lucky One that I loved!

1. "Finding something like that, in a war, is like finding an angel in hell."- Logan

2.  "You should be kissed everyday, every hour, every minute."- Logan

3.  "Sometimes the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people."- Elizabeth Green 'Beth' (quote from the book!)

Three Things Thursday: Things I Onced Believed

I once believed.....

- that glow in the dark football was the most fun game ever! (I still believe it is pretty fun!)

- that Aladdin was my boyfriend.

- that if I couldn't see you, then you couldn't see me.

Three Things Thursday: Things I once believed

I once believed....

- that chickens had 4 legs.

- that there were dolphins in the light bulbs and if you turned the lights on and off real fast then it would kill the little tiny dolphins.

- that a crock pot was a crotch potch! (My family and I still call it a crotch potch just for fun!)

Three Things Thursday:

Today I am happy because:

1. I just paid off my car! YAY! I am so excited to not have a car payment anymore.  I really really want a Jeep Liberty, but that will come much later.  I am going to enjoy not having a car payment every month. Especially, since we are buying a house.  I sit and dream about having a Jeep Liberty, I don't know why I love that car so much?  I have wanted one ever since I turned 16!  This year they have their special edition one and it is nice.  But, I would rather spend that extra money on traveling.  This year, Tanner and I have decided to go to Las Vegas!  Super excited :)

2. It's almost April Fools Day!  I love April Fools but this one has crept up on me!  This year has gone by super fast.  I don't have any pranks planned and that's a first.  Last year, I decorated my boss's office with post it notes!  I literally labeled everything in his office with a post it.  It's too bad he never got to see it.  They had to take it all down before he came in because we had some important people walking around that day!

3.  In 1 month, we will be moving into our first home!!  I have been shopping and planning ways to landscape the backyard.  I have decided to do our bedroom grey and yellow.  I have already picked out the paint color. It's a very light grey.  I have picked out all the fabric that I want to use to make pillows.  Pillows are extremely expensive so instead of spending $40 on 1 pillow, I'm going to end up spending $40 on so many pillows! Hopefully, I will have fabric left over to make something for the windows.

Three Things Thursday: Fun Date Ideas

Who doesn't love to have fun with their significant other?  I know I do!  Tanner and I are most definitely little kids at heart.  We love to play games and just goof around.  Since we got married, life has gotten even busier.  We haven't had as much time to spend together.  So, we have made a date night for every month.  At the beginning of the month we decide what day will be "our day."  For example, this month is the traditional dinner and movie.  BUT it's the Hunger Games!! We have both read all 3 books and are super excited for the movie to come out!  I decided that today I would share a few of our other fun date ideas!  I have picked the ones, that guess what?!  ARE FREE! Well the last one isn't free but it's only $10!


1. My favorite idea for the whole year is our 24 hour date.  Yes, 24 hours!  We will start the morning off right with a breakfast feast.  Then we will do everything that we enjoy.  We are more than likely going to go camping so we will have easy access to what we love.  We will go hiking, fishing, bike riding etc.

2.  In December our date will be a video game competition.  Tanner is getting a new Play Station for Christmas.  Our X-Box just died.  Something about the red circle of death?  Apparently, the little circle that is usually green went red and it just quit working.  Anyways,  I will more than likely lose every game, but I will definately put up a good fight. haha! It will be a fun night!  We will play football, race, wrestle, and dance!  I'm ready to see Tanner do the dance game!!

3.  Another fun idea is to go on a $10 shopping spree.  That's right, you only have $10.  You go to a store and see who can buy the coolest stuff for $10 or less.  Whoever has the most neat stuff, wins!  Ramen noodles are off limits! We will probably make all food items off limits when we do this.

Now you have some fun date ideas, or just fun ideas for you and your friends! I'd love for you to share some of your fun date ideas!
