Random happenings of my life...

Here are a few things going on here...

1- The house hunt is still on... sort of. We've found two houses that we both like. I'll have more to post about this in a few day. The offers are in, we are just playing the waiting game at this point.

2- We bought a beautiful dining room table that we found off of Craigslist. It's cherry wood, with a leaf, seats six people (all six chairs were included). The couple who were selling it don't have any kids or pets, so it's in great condition. The white fabric seats are still white!!! When we went to pick it up they threw in the sidebar for free!!! It's a beautiful matching sidebar with cupboards and drawers. Guess how much for the whole lot...... $375!!! I love Craig (well, his list anyway...) I'll post pics when it's up in our house...

3- The high chair is almost done. I don't like the way the top turned out that I had filled with the wood putty so I'm going to sand it down and refinish it tomorrow.

4- I look like I have some strange disease, or an abusive husband... My legs are COVERED in bruises right now. It's the result of carrying a 20+ kid around in an infant carseat, banging the seat into my legs. Time to get a new carseat... or legs made of steel.

5- I still haven't gotten the nerve to do the RS Chop (Relief Society Chop). I'm planning on next week, so I'll post pics when it's all done. I'll go with the majority on this one... still wondering who the one person is that said I should leave it long....

6- It's 12:31 AM right now and I'm finally going to bed. I watched P.S. I love you tonight and can't stop the tears from streaming. It actually wasn't that good of a movie in my opinion. One of those PG 13 that you wish they would have just made R. The plot got to me though, makes me think about what I would do if I lost my husband. I have no answer for that... I feel so blessed to have Trent in my life. He really is perfect for me...

7- Lots of people are making their blogs private these days. I most likely will never do that. I've tried to keep my exact location (Vegas is a big place after all), name, family members names (well, full names) out of it, and hope that I am succeeding. I started getting into blogs when I was pregnant with Tru. I think that I googled something like "eight weeks pregnant" under images and connected with some blogs of pregnant gals. It made me feel not so alone in my pregnant journey. It obviously grew from there. I think that it was a good few months where I only had one or two people even look at my blog, I was just blogging to myself. But I understand that people need to protect their families and their lives. But for me, blogging is therapy. It really is a great hobby for me and the stuff I put on here I'm okay with the world seeing. Also, there are a few blogs that I visit regularly in which I don't know these people at all, and they have really inspired me and helped me in sharing their stories and their ideas. So I am grateful for those who share and aren't afraid of the innocent stalker like me... I can only hope that someday in some random post I can return the favor for someone else...

8- Didn't I say I was going to bed in #6??? Goodnight, and have a beautiful Saturday wherever you are...
