Oh no!

I have a Starbucks gift card and I'm not afraid to use it!

I have NEVER drank coffee. Never have liked it. Oh...I have loved the smell of it and the idea of it but have never like the taste and aftertaste of it. BUT...

One of my co-workers/friends, Carrie, turned me on to Pumpkin Spice Lattes and I'm hooked.

After getting hooked I found a gift card I had gotten some time ago in my purse. I seriously thought it was like $5 or $10. But - lo and behold...a HUGE blessing...$20!!! Yippeee!!!

So after calling my coffee loving sister to tell her that "heck" may have frozen over...I was drinking coffee...she proceeded to tell me what I should try next: A tall, nonfat,decaf latte with 1 pump of vanilla - please sweeten with Splenda. {{giggle}} I'm going to try it - probably - soon...if I can get myself to take a break from the Pumpkin Spice. :)

Black and white all over

This isn't the greatest photo but I took it with my iphone to post on facebook. Ron spent a couple of days last week painting our bedroom a beautiful slate blue color. We have black and white bedding (yep...in love with black and white...just like on my blog - hence: black and white all over). We also have burgandy accents like the pillow, some candles and a couple of other lamps that you cannot see that are burgandy too.

Just had to post because I am IN LOVE with my "new" bedroom. I got the drapes hung and everything straightened up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my room. I'll try to take some other pictures soon.

BTW - WOO!HOO! Ron finally got an interview last Friday morning AND - GOT THE JOB!

God is good! We feel so blessed. Although it is not "ideal" it's good. Ideal would be working from home or 5 minutes from like me. :) It's about 30 to 45 minutes from home but he can work early hours and still be home by 5 - so not that bad. It was a long but short 5 months out of work and I really think he's ready to be back in the groove. He truly didn't enjoy being a "employee of the state". Not his style AT ALL.

So...that's just a little of what's up in our world. (Feeling like we can finally handle some home improvement stuff around the house so stay tuned for more pics of updates. ;))

Boys & Bikes

The boys got bikes for their birthdays. Dylan...a few days early. Riley...about a month early. They love 'em! I'm glad! I like to see them outside - especially with the great weather we've been having. Hopefully Ron and I will be able to get new bikes soon so that we can all ride together. So fun!

Happy Birthday Dylan!

Happy 14th Birthday, Dylan!

You make us very proud to call you our son!

We love you!
