Rainy May

 Our house has turned into a nursery. Nathan got a rockin' deal on plants last week. If you're looking for plants or landscape, he's your man!

We also have a big concrete landing out back. If we didn't need to extend our house, I would love to put some patio furniture and have outside BBQ's, since its deciding to be all sunny and warm this week.

Speaking of sunny and warm, I wrote that too soon as its supposed to be raining this whole next week!!! 

We got netflix and have been watching A LOT of Swamp People, about two episodes a night. I LOVE this show. I watched a documentary on alligators too. I remember seeing an alligator on the grass at our hotel in Florida, on this trip

OH netflix. You will make me become a hermit... But since its NOT sunny yet, I will allow it :)

My new license plates came!

I am going on day 7(!) of NOT cracking my knuckles/fingers. So far so good, unless I'm stretching and it accidentally happens. It's hard! I keep thinking about it all day, especially when I finally sit down and try to relax, thats all I can think about. 

Garth gave me a gift cert. to get a pedicure for Christmas and since it was nice out today I went and got it! I LOVE the color, I kept saying I didn't want any flowers/design but she did it anyway so I went with it. 

Here are a few things I am loving right now...

Neuro drinks. 

I bought this at Petrich's, they don't say what flavor they are but they all taste the same, kinda like grapefruit. The only difference is that some are more fizzy than others. It's supposed to make you happy, or better blood flow, or sleepy, depending on which one you get, I have yet to notice any effects but they are yumm-o!

Some of my favorite food blogs. I love reading these and getting ideas for making dinner. There are only so many ways to spin a chicken!

Our Best Bites

Favorite Family Recipes

Pioneer Woman

My friend Katie is having a scentsy party online, I have never used or smelt any flavors so I'm not sure if I want to do it or which flavors smell good/bad. Let me know if you've tried them or any favorite scents you have. I love candles and smelly things I just don't want to waste money of ones that don't smell good!!

Our Valentines

Our Valentines Celebration started with buying a TV!

It's quite possibly the biggest thing in our house and we're glad it fits.

Saturday night we went out to Duke's and saw The Band Perry with Meredith, Brandon, and Chris for 5 dollars!!

And they're actually famous, they sing Hip to My Heart, it's on the radio)!

Sunday, the actual V-Day, we did homework, rented Couple's Retreat (pretty funny, only because of Vince Vaughn, and a lot of cheesy at the end) and bought a heart shaped pizza!

Chicken/bacon/olives/white sauce. DELICIOUS.

In case you don't listen to the radio, here ya go.
post edit---I never watched this before I posted, so sorry for my really awesome camera skills, apparently I can't hold my hand still for a minute. 

Our Cozy Shack

Take a tour of our little place becoming a home :)

Our Living Room:

complete with newly 'upholstered' couches and sample rug that was in my old bedroom.

Our Kitchen:

Take a birds eye peak into our eating and seldom cooking area

Notice the paint chips on the wall, we like to dream in this house.

We feature our bedroom:

Starting with the ladies side,

and the men's area.

We also accompany a guest/storage/shoe room:

Most times it's lonely in our shack because only one of us is here at any given time while the other is out at school/work but it's a nice place to sleep and fun to transform it into looking decent :)
