We call this the Living Room :)

Some things have changed at our apartment since when I first moved in in September. Now that we are both living there there is more stuff, more movies, and more people :) All good things! Here are some updated pictures of our cozy living room.

• Next Friday, I plan to do another room...prolly the kitchen, so check back :)

 Here is our lovely TV and entertainment stand, thanks Mom and Dad for that Christmas gift last year! You can also see Stephen's DVD collection on the left :)

 This is just another angle of the TV wall. I love the candle holder that Mom got from Yankee Candle, it is perfect!

 Of course we have fall decorations, you know me! This picture was mainly to show the beautiful wedding picture and frame from Mrs. Tina in Florida. Thanks Mrs. Tina it looks great in our living room!

 Big comfy reading chair with the super soft blanket from Aunt Mary. usually we sit on the couch, but I try to sit in this chair occasionally too. It really is supper big and comfy!

 The wall looks kinda yellow in this picture, but I promise it is not! View of our living room from the dining room. Nice and cozy isn't it?

Agh...better lighting for picture taking :) The next thing I want to do in the living room is get new end tables to match the coffee table and entertainment center...all in time, it is not a priority!

The last picture is of the end table closest to the sliding glass door. Above it hangs the family pictures we had taken in my grandparents back yard two years ago while Grandpa was still alive. I am not sure I will ever change those pictures out...love them and miss him!

Hope you enjoyed the updated tour of our living room, you should come over and see it sometime :) Happy Friday everyone, have a wonderful weekend! See you again on Monday! Tootles!



Look what came!!

For my Florida family and friends, they prolly think I am nuts for getting excited over the package we received in the mail last week. Understandable. However, I was very excited to open our package from Eddie Bauer! Our down snow/ice scrapper mittens arrived! They are pretty interesting looking, but so warm! Of course they come on one of the warmer weeks in Fall, but that is okay. I am sure we will have an opportunity to test them out on our cars soon enough!

* I asked him to give me an excited face and this is what I got, it works!

The one with fur, sparkles and snowflakes is mine :)

Happy Thursday everyone!

So I got this in an email forward this week and thought it was too cool not to share! Someone put a lot of time into setting up and sending out this email/message. Enjoy! :)
