"A friend is someone that walks in when the rest of the world walks out"



** WARNING-Picture overload!**


I was thinking about this on my way home from my BFF Tiffany's house tonight (it's tuesday- which means Glee and treat night) I have seriously been friends with Tiffany since I was born, 22 years ago. Her mom and my sister were best friends and lived across the street from each other. So when she was born in May of 1988 and I was born in July of 88- we were "forced" to be friends as we like to joke but really it all worked out for the best. We have been through it all- her moving away, us going to different schools, her constantly biting me when we were little (she had little buck teeth that she just loved to crunch into people), me punching her in the nose (for the biting- obviously) I was there on her wedding day and she was there on mine and now that she is about to have her first baby any day now and seeing as how it is the wonderful month of being thankful- I wanted to take a moment to be thankful for Tiffany Lynne. I can't believe that both of us are married and one of us will be a mommy any day now! I know she will be an awesome mommy and I can't wait to be an auntie to my little monkey

Haha I love you!



This is one of my favorites! It's so classic tiff and trina


I love this one too!







Back when it all started...look at those buck teeth! RAWR!

Is it sad??

Is it sad that I just want to do crafty things all the live long day? seriously! I went on another adventure with dear Jamie today. By adventure I mean a trip to the DI, well actually two DI's. We hit a small jackpot at the DI in Sandy because both Jamie and I found something! YAY! more to come on those... got you excited huh? you thought I was actually going to tell you what we bought! HA! But we did start work on one of my projects. I am beyond excited....like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning. Spray paint is going to rock my world for the next little while. I want to be working on these projects all the time- I wish we had like a big ole shop with everything we needed and we could just go to town on this stuff. I have seriously enjoyed having this time before the holidays to just relax after work and on weekends to do my own thing. In the past I have always had school and homework but it feels good to take a break and do something that I actually want to do! I bet you can't wait for pictures right? yeah me either! stay tuned kids-it's gettin fun!

MY FAVORITE NEW "HOT SPOT"!!

blogger lessons 101??

Am I the only one that is just not amazing at figuring out how to do all these crazy, creative and beautiful things to their blog? I think I would really love this that much more if I knew everything I was doing...a little help out there please from the 5 of you I know in the blogging world. On a positive note, my delightful friend Jamie has turned me onto following this awesome blog betterafter.blogspot.com. The creator of this blog gets all these pictures and stories from other people out there of totally hideous (but cheap *keyword*) things such as furniture, lighting fixtures, old dated kitchens. She shows you what they looked like before and then the awesome after pics. It makes me feel inspired to do a little of that myself... we will see how this works out haha. I always start off strong on something and then it fades unless I can really really get into it. But Jamie has an empty garage to use as a workspace and a creative brain so I am hoping she will help keep me goin'! I will keep you updated! I was also thinking about re-doing the color/ design of our bedroom (not that it has any real design to begin with) but I was thinking about the colors grey, yellow and black...with hints of white. Know of any good grey and yellow bed sets or decorations?? Our downstairs is officially done, decorated and painted ( victory dance....woot woot!) I will post pics of that soon. Now I just need to get the three rooms and two bathrooms upstairs done...blah! Getting excited for the holiday season even though I dont have any money or decorations, just excited for the warm feeling and the holiday spirit! I love sitting by a Christmas tree with a blanket and hot chocolate! I can't believe we are already in November!!
