HE IS THE BEST!

Gracie's flowers

So yesterday I wasn't having a very good day and around 5pm at night someone knocks at the door with a delivery of flowers in their hands. They said I have flowers for Gracie and Lindsay, I was thinking did someone pass away and I didn't know about it yet(this is how my mind works, how sad). So anyways, the little note to Gracie says " Daddy loves you so much princess, and you have a date with Grandma on Saturday night." Yes I am keeping the note forever...it is her first delievery of flowers and even more important they are from her daddy. Then my note says all these wonderful things and then asks me if I will go on a date with him this weekend. It was very cute, so sweet, and had me bawling. I LOVE MY HUBBY SO MUCH!

I just cant do it ;(

Ok so obviously I am having a hard time hitting the delete button on this thing. So I decided I will just go private and see how that goes. So leave me your email address if you want to view my blog and I will change it tonight. I am such a dork I swear!

ALL THE WASH IS DONE?

Well nothing that exciting has been going on in this household this last week. Is that a good or bad thing? I am going to say good because this family usually has it's share of chaos! So the best news I have for this week is that as of right now....ALL MY LAUNDRY IS DONE! I seriously cant believe it. I think I have maybe had all the wash done only one other time in 6 years. I am talking our hamper, both the kids hampers are empty. Blankets, bedding and towels are all done. Whew! This is the best feeling ever! It wont last but a few hours I am sure, LOL.

I must add that this isn't the first time because I am lazy and dont do the wash! I think I have the washer going almost 24 hours a day everyday. For a family of 4 that is way too much. I just dont get it :)

A New Day in AMERICA!

What an amazing day in our history and amazing speeches last night. Whether you are red or blue it IS time for us to stand together and all of us need to work a little harder and lift our neighbors up!

And then there was LIGHT...this is a pretty good story!

Ok for most of you who read this will be like why is she posting about new light fixtures, LOL. Well, the story goes like this. When we started building our house we got to customize the lighting and add lights in rooms where we felt like they need more lighting, ect. Well at the very last minute a house came available in a much better location across the street from the lake. So with major convincing from my husband we made the switch and said goodbye to all of our custom choices because the house was basically done. I got to pick the railing, paint, and fireplace...hmmm yup that is about it.

So of course this house had one tiny tiny light for this big great room. It seriously was so dim in the majority of our house it was ridiculous. So our project this year was to put a bunch of can lights up in the ceiling. Well, I found an amazing chandelier and convinced my hubby that this was the way to go. So we installed everything today and it is absolutely amazing! I am just so excited about it. It add's so much to the house and the light oh my heck there is light! Even our paint on the walls look like a completely different color.

So the funny thing about this is that for 3 years Max, me and Kelton have complained about how dim the great room was....so we turn on this chandelier and Max literally grabs for a dimmer to turn it down. WE ARE VAMPIRES I TELL YOU! So I guess we need to readjust to this light that we have so badly wanted. It is amazing though, I am in 7th heaven!

BEFORE

AFTER!!! You probably cant tell but it is such a big difference! We added the two lights dangling over the island. Those were can lights before. That is probably my favorite change!

And who said you cant put a chandelier in your living room? LOLBEFORE

Best picture I could get of this one. Everyone really just needs to drive out and see it in person but I know most of you wont so this is the best you are going to get :)

To my amazing husband who put every single fixture in for me today with only pouting a few times :)
