My Not So Wordless Wednesday....

After I curled up in Hubby's lap Sunday night crying because

I "just wanted to be home with him" and didn't want to go ANYWHERE,

I prayed that we could just have one day this week where we didn't have to do anything

but come home from work and just relax, watch a pointless movie and snuggle...

What I didn't exactly expect is for Jesus to answer my prayer so... ENTIRELY.

I opened the front door to this mess at 6:30 am.

We've had a TON of rain the last few days and the culvert collapsed, creating a swimming pool in our yard...and our neighbors. It wouldn't have been all that bad except the rapids eroded our driveway to the point that we were TRAPPED in our house.

We had DOT, the town code enforcer, our contractor and the neighbors

checking out the damage.

So it wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I asked for a day off with My Soldier,

but Jesus does have a sense of humor. And he is into details.

And He did answer all my requests...

Maybe next time I'll ask for a little less dramatic event.

I Pinky Swear...

For any of you who still follow me after all this time....
I swear this post didn't make me a liar.
I really will be blogging more.
swear it.cross my heart.pinky promise.
This week hasn't exactly gone as planned...see I had every intention of posting pretty fall picturesand before and after photos of my half-decorated house...

I had posts written in my head just itching to be typed and uploaded. I was going to tell you all about my cousin's precious little girl who just turned a month old and my gorgeous niece who is crawling and babbling and sitting like a big girl!

instead-I have been popping excederin like it was candy.
laying in a dark room with NO noise
head burried under a pillow
an ice pack under my neck AND over my forehead.
I've been miserable with horrid migraine headaches.
I have NO clue why or what caused them, but the last three weeks have been hell.I swear out of the last 23 days, I've had a headache 20 of them and a migraine at least 7 of them.

U.G.H.
If any of you have ever experienced them, I am SO sorry.
You have my deepest sympathy...
Thankfully I have an amazing husband who has been waiting on me hand and foot.
Who prays over me when I wake up and before I go to sleep.
Who takes the day off to go to the doctors with me and brings me ice and gingerale.
Who watches football with headphone because I can't handle the noise
but have to be "next to him".


Tomorrow I have an MRI to see what the heck is going on.I'm a little nervous because I'm a teensy bit claustrophobic, and I've heard stories.ahh. but I would be locked in a tube for hours if they could just.make.them.stop.

*****

I'll leave you on a happier note... a teaser until I have the opportunity to post again..

Welcome to my first home sweet home.

I'm BaaAAAckk!!!

HELLO! my long lost bloggie friends!

Did you wonder if I'd dropped off the face of the earth?
Nope. Just MOVED.

We are finally in our new house!!

It still looks like this...

But it's a work in progress right??

The FABULOUS news?!

We finally have internet hooked up!!

SO, remember to come visit me again!!!

Now that's what I call a successful lunch break!

My blog posts have been few and far between as of late.

I really hate that.
All day long I have a thousand things racing through my head, I have about ten 'potential' posts filed away up therebut after an 8 hour day and two hours of travel I am exhausted when I get home.

And I would apologize, but thats life right? Working, family and a two day rest. I'll figure it out eventually. promise.Until then, I'm trying my best to sneak in post at least once a week.
I did however manage to make use of my lunch breaks-having a Mardens and Renys 5 minutes from work is dangerous....Here are my latest finds. I am SO excited to decorate.Decorate my new house. Decorate for fall.

Inspiration for the guest bedroom.

I love the vases I found, they are so bright and fun!

The curtains are a light blue/green with chocolate trim and a pretty scarf to overlay with.

I love it!

A rust colored kitchen towel that matches the wall color and dining room curtains.

Beautiful imitation blue glass I found to decorate the kitchen with.

I love the contrast between rust and deep blue.

Just a few things I've collected along the way.

I'm not sure what will go where, but I'm having fun playing with the color tones.

I'm so excited to get moved in and decorate for fall too!

It just so happens that pumpkins will match my kitchen perfectly.

Oh! I love fall!

Guess What?!

If you were wondering where I've been the last couple of weeks,

I have a perfectly legitimate excuse this time....

First- it was my birthday.

And my hunky soldier in ACU's arrived at my door holding these beauties.

(I know- he's amazing)

Second- I had a fabulous girls day with two of my favorite people.

Oh- and their adorable little princesses.

One of which who happens to be my niece.

Last, but not least, my every spare moment for the last week has been consumed with

wrapping, labeling, taping, packing, folding, cleaning...

Why you might ask?

Well... it's because we BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!

It's a work in progress, but we're moving into our first HOME.

ahh.... how I will never miss apartment living.
