hello impulse purchse :)

So, last weekend I bought something BIG. I went out to dinner with my parents and afterwards we went to hhgregg for them to look at televisions. Key word: THEM. Once we were there I found myself wandering and asking questions about the televisions...so I removed myself from the environment and situation. Hunter and I went next door to the department store and started shopping. After buying some shirts and scarfs we went back to hhgreg and who ended up making a purchase anyways? ME!

Here my TV and entertainment center before:

And after:

My parents had given me this entertainment center as a Christmas gift. Luckily we got a really good deal on it on Black Friday and then Dad put the finishing stain on it for me :) Thanks Mom & Dad, it looks great!

On another note: The past few weeks have been really busy! Working two jobs really kills your social life if you did not know! There is light at the end of my tunnel though, because Stephen will be here Friday evening for the weekend. We have plans to go to St. Augustine and eat at my favorite restaurant. Stephen has never been there but I am sure he will love it too!

(my parents did also buy a new TV, and home theater system...it was a very productive shopping trip!)

comments

I have re-enabled (is that a word? Well, I just made it one) comments on my blog. I had to discontinue them a while back because I kept getting lots of spam comments from people I did not know, but comments have been flooding my email the past few weeks so I decided to give this whole comment thing another try :) So, that means I need you to leave them! Enjoy reading my blog and hope you have a great Sunday with family and friends!

2009 in pictures...


Started 2009 off in Lynchburg, Virginia with great friends and some awesome Christian concerts!


Met Stephen for the first time at the Jacksonville airport after he flew to Florida to spend the weekend with me. This is the start of something great :)


Stephen went to Nigeria for a month, so I trained and ran my first race ever, a 10k mudrun to benefit MS.


Enjoyed girl time and weekend trips back and forth from Charleston, South Carolina. Oh, this driveway is the house where "The Notebook" was filmed :)


Steve came back from Nigeria and could not get to Florida soon enough. He finally made it though, and I was so happy!


My first trip to Indiana...along with many other firsts. Guess what? I love Indiana!


After getting laid off in July, many many interviews are scheduled...this is after 3 in one day!


My baby cousin Savannah Rae is born on my birthday, what a blessing!


Summer vacation starts off with a week in Alabama with Steve's family, and LOTS of yummy food!


Steve goes to Disney and meets Mickey Mouse for the first time!


Vacation with my family, camping in Fort Wilderness...our favorite campground!


I'm able to keep the biggest secret of my life thus far and surprise Stephen for his birthday...I showed up at his birthday dinner!


...Spent several days in Indiana and was able to go to Cedar Point in Ohio with Stephen, Greg and Robin. It was a great day!


Decided to test the waters in photography and take some semi-professional shots of friends and family...turned out pretty good!


Blessed to see fall colors for the first time ever...loving Indiana even more now!


Carved a pumpkin in Florida with Stephen...it was the first time he had carved one! We were also watching the Gators play LSU :)


Ended 2009 in Indiana with Stephen and a good midnight kiss with snow falling :)
