Let's get CRAFTY!!

Yall, look what I made!!

A tshirt scarf! I've seen them all over Pinterest and thought "why not?" I've told you before I'm not a crafty girl, but this was super easy. I got an old tshirt (thanks, Dad) and cut the torso into strips. If you stretch them just the littlest bit, they curve into themselves. I took one strip and tied it around the rest. And that's it! I might get a brooch or something and slap it on there somewhere.

Please excuse the horrid picture on my new old lady phone. Yea. Went to the mall yesterday and downgraded to a dumb phone. No internet. I never used it on my blackberry so I figured I'd save that $30 a month. FTW.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

My beautiful little sister and me Thanksgiving day.

Happy Birthday, Baby!

Happy 25th Birthday to the husband!

Here's a few pics of his adorable little self.

(Notice the sweet mushroom cut in picture #4)

Love you, baby!

Daddy Issues?

Found that on Pinterest (of course) and HAD to share it.

I had an epiphany the other day. The husband and I have been talking a lot about babies and what not lately. I've been thinking which would be easier to raise: boys or girls? Would it be harder to teach a little boy how to respect women or to teach a little girl to respect herself? That got me to thinking how absolutely vital the father's role in a child's life is. If we have a boy, he will learn how to treat women by how Chris treats me. If we have a girl, she will learn how she is supposed to be treated by men by how Chris treats me.

I mean, think about it. How many people do you know that have "daddy issues"? Guys grow up being pigs and treating women like trash because that's what their daddy did. Girls grow up promiscuous and desperate for attention because their daddy was never affectionate or never said he loved them.

I'm so blessed to have a wonderful father. I've talked about him before I'm sure, but he's just that great. I told Chris loooong before we got married that he had big shoes to fill and that if he turned out to be half the husband/father my dad is I'd be a happy wife. Let me clarify: I have a wonderful husband and when we have a child, he/she will learn the proper way for a husband to treat his wife.

Thanks for letting my ramble. =)

Halloween weekend!

I present to you my Halloween weekend in pictures...backwards...because that's how I uploaded them.

I took the kitties outside for the first time ever! Gus's eyes were as big as saucers. You'd have thought he was Dorothy walking out of Kansas and into Oz. Oh! And take a gander at my pumpkin!

I love his face here.

Halloween at work! These are my coworkers bowing down to me. Guess who I am???

Kate Middleton! Made the "fascinator" myself!

Me and the husband after making pumpkins:

Tristan! We always carve pumpkins with David and Tracie and this year was special because Tristan is big enough to have fun with! Last year he was just a month old. He sooo knows he's cute:

The whole group!

Love this little kid!

Oh and totally random but, the Kim Kardashian divorce "shocker"?

Called it.
