Day 4 - Favorite Book: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I have posted about this book before but it bares mentioning again. I'm currently half way through reading it for the third time. If i am every in between books, i will pick this one up and start it again.

Now for my favorite series: Even though I was on the verge of scarily obbsessed with the twilight series, Harry Potter is still by far my favorite. The new movie has come out and we have not had a chance to go watch, but maybe this weekend! And as a side note, I will be visiting Harry Potter World at Universal Studios in December!

Day 5 - Favorite Quote: So I've been pretty excited about posting this one
"Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction." - Antoine De Saint-Exupery

I'm Back!! So I am going to use Angie's '30 Days of Blogging' as an inspiration to start back. Its not that nothing worth blogging about has happened since my last post, its just that i have been lazy! Thinking back, lots has happen since February. Mine and justins life was consumed with working on the new house, Meg's wedding, Ashley's Wedding, our anniversary, random trips, pregnancies (by others), engagements, the birth of Rowland, then football season! It has flown by!! in the near future, Justin and I will be going to Gatlinburg at the end of Month, my birthday, family trip to Universal Studios, and the holidays!

Ok, here is my start to the 30 Days of blogging:
( i think i will combine some)

Day 1 - Favorite Song: hmmm, i don't thing i have an all time favorite song; it's more like 'my favorite song right now' and it would be Magic by B.O.B. I get pretty crunck every time i hear it!!

Day 2 - Favorite Movie: By Far Gladiator. Best. Movie. Ever. I could watch it over and over and still get all emotional!!

Day 3 - Favorite TV Show: So I'm a little weird when it comes to TV. Me and Justin both watch very little of it on a regular basis. probably the one show i watch the most consistently is Ghost Hunters on the SyFy channel and usually anything on the History Channel. (i must confess though, I've started watching Teem Mom and i might be hooked) Speaking of Ghost Hunters, their live Halloween special is coming on the 31st and I'm pretty excited! I'll have to Tivo it though, I'll be in the Mountains.

Perfect Day for Blogging






Well, January and February are usually pretty boring months for me and Justin, but not this year! To start things off, we finally bought a house! We should have the keys to our new home by this upcoming Friday.  The house is decorated straight 1970s, so we will be spending the next month or so redecorating.  I plan on doing lots of before and afters, so keep a look out for them.  As for the last week, as most of you know, Sid (our dog/child) was hit by a truck and had to have his front left leg removed.  It has been an adventure, but he is doing SO good.  Last weekend Justin and I got a creative itch and decided to build some furniture!  We quickly realized that all the furniture that we currently own could fit in the living room of the new house, so we have been trying to figure out ways to furnish the house and spend as little as possible.  We built two end tables and a coffee table.  We still have to stain them.  Justin has also been working on a bed for the guest room this week.  Once it is compete, I will post some pictures.  I've been very impressed with him!  As for today, Justin and I have been enjoying the snow! We made a snowman, had a snowball fight, and even got pulled over by a cop this afternoon because apparently they have closed all the roads in town! Good thing the opening ceremonies of the Olympics are on tonight!! (I am a huge olympics fan!!!) Maybe tomorrow we will be allowed out of the house so I can get some things accomplished!!  Enjoy the pics!
