Oh well...

Things I DON'T feel guilty about...

- That over the past 2 days I ate a WHOLE pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream... by myself

- That I use Ella's love for Veggie Tales (she could and sometimes does watch Bob all day) so I can blog...

- Putting my pajamas on at 4:00... sometimes earlier

- That Ella is definitely getting Benadryl before the flight to Costa Rice next week 

- Being too tired to cook, so I feed my family a frozen pizza... at least Ella loves it :)

- That I feel the need to buy Ella a new outfit every time I go out

- That I spend a ridiculous amount of time on home decor websites

- That I have a massage gift card but am afraid to use it because once its gone... its gone

-  That I will run the dishwasher for one plate because I hate to wash dishes

(maybe I do feel a little guilty about ALL of these, but if I act like I don't then they sound better)

Looking Forward...

That's right folks, we have decided to put our condo up for rent!  

What? Why? 

When we first got married Josh worked out in Va Beach and it only made sense to live close to his office, and we were only planning on living in the condo for 2 years.  Well due to the bad economy and the housing market plummeting those 2 years turned into 3 going on 4.  Our family, friends, church, and Josh's office are all in Chesapeake and let's face it... we have outgrown our cozy condo.  So we are currently looking for a house to rent in Chesapeake until next February and then we can hopefully build our dream home. In the meantime, let the packing begin and just trust that God will take care of the rest :)  

I'm loving it...

What I'm loving right now...

That little Miss E is getting so big and able to try new things (even though she may not like them)  :)

 My new Michael Kors handbag (That I scored a super deal on!)

 My mom's creativity... check out her file cabinet redo!  I wonder if Josh's office would like some color???

TOUFAYAN wraps.  

They are healthy and make a delicious toasted grilled chicken wrap!

Ok... this one I am not loving so much due to overexposure, BUT Ella sure does love her some Bob the tomato, and requests "Bob" all the time.  He lives in our t.v., computer, CD player in the car, and bookcase.  Watch out... because Josh and I can bust out a random Veggie Tale song on demand!

Love is in the air... or on a tree??

I am obsessed... ummm love Target!  I always browse their dollar bins at the entrance and of course always end up with $10 worth of stuff that I am sure I didn't need :/  (Josh calls it the sucker bins) 

Anyways...   

I found some cute Valentine's Day ribbon (to make Miss E some new bows) and then found a random pack of 4 foam hearts and threw them in the cart.

  

Fast forward three days later when I am unloading my groceries and found the poor little hearts, that "I really needed", laying in my backseat. So this morning I hot glued some of the V-day ribbon onto the back of them and then hung the hearts on my berry branch.

Speaking of Target, I have to go pick up some pictures... and maybe just "look around"...

Have a Happy Wednesday :)

I am excited for the blessings that God has planned for us in 2011.
