House Tour: The Dining Room

The first room up on my house tour is my dining room! It is currently the only room in my house that is completely done with renovations/redecorating :)

Miscellany Monday

Happy Monday y'all!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend!

It's Monday so I'm writing random and linking up with Carissa at lowercase letters!

{birthday weekend}

Saturday was my birthday! My mom, dad, and sister all came up to see me. My family, my husband, and I spent the day at Carowinds riding rides and going down water slides! Later that night we went to Outback for dinner which is one of my favorite restaurants. I hadn't been to one since my honeymoon which has almost been a year ago! It was such a great day filled with fun and the people I love most. I will have to post pictures once they get uploaded to the computer!

I will have to keep y'all in suspense for a little while on the amazing present I got for my birthday! Trust me...it will be worth the wait!

My dining room is finally getting close to complete! I have finished painting and the blinds and curtains have been hung up. Now the only thing left is the chandelier that we're waiting to come in from Lowes. I'll have to post pictures of that as well as soon as I upload pictures. It was a busy weekend!

{40 to go!}

I am very excited that over the weekend I reached 60 followers! I've decided that when I reach 100 followers, I will do a giveaway! You don't want to miss it because it.will.be.awesome. :)


I hope everyone has a marvelous Monday!

Friday Confessional

Happy Friday y'all!

I have lots of confessions today, as usual!







I confess... I've about had it with all Blogger's shenanigans. It still won't let me comment on anyone's posts. Or sign out. So if you want to skip out on leaving me comment love, I understand as I don't know when I'll be able to reciprocate! I really, really miss y'all. I feel so disconnected :( Oh but don't worry. According to Blogger's maintenance site, it is a known problem and is "being resolved." We'll see.

I confess... I've been using my husband's deodorant for the past couple of weeks since discovering the brand I bought doesn't work so well for me. I guess I could go buy some more. But it's just so convenient using his ;) Plus, isn't men's deodorant supposed to work better anyway?

I confess... that I cannot go to sleep unless I'm cuddling with my body pillow. I don't really know when this habit started, but my husband despises it. He thinks it takes up too much room in the bed. I think that the reason he really doesn't like it is because he wants me to be cuddling with him! When I get pregnant one day I want one of the ridiculously huge ones.

This one will do.

I confess... that the house renovations have put me in a pretty bad mood this week. We have a love/hate relationship. On the one hand I feel so good about how much better the room is looking. On the other hand, I hate how junky it makes the rest of my house. And because of how old the house is, slapping bad paint job on top of bad paint job, and similar factors, the renovating is becoming a lot more difficult than it should be. In my defense, if this stuff would have been done correctly the FIRST time (or even the second!), I might not be having such a hard time right now!

I want this shirt when I get done.

I confess... that my mom has only been out of touch for 24 hours (she's on a cruise to the Bahamas!), and I already don't know what to do! I call my mom multiple times a day, every day. I hope I can make it until Monday!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday and a great Memorial Day weekend!!
