Twilit...and The Full Blooded Princess

This past weekend Adam took me to the Poison Ivy Mystery Dinner Theater to see this:

We bought the tickets through Groupon and got them for a great price but if it wasn't for that I would say its not worth the money. Here are a few pros and cons:

Pros:

- It was cheap (don't pay full price)

-It was a unique thing to do for date night

-had funny moments

-drinks were only 50 cents

-the ending wasn't foreseeable

Cons:

-A little too cheesy for my taste

-the singing/acting was at times bad

-boring at times 

-lasted a little long

-dinner is an extra cost

Overall I would do it again but only if we had a group of friends come with us. t was a bit disappointed but it was different and new to add variety to our weekly date nights. I had a good time and would give it a 6 out of 10, 10 being amazing. 

Tickets are $15 without dinner and $25 with dinner

to me thats a little much for what you get but if you want to do something different its worth a try but wait to get the tickets cheaper. 

Since we had never been to one before it was a new adventure!

{FALL} has arrived

Even though I'm not a huge fan of FALL there are a few reasons why I love it!!

1. You get to wear all your cute FALL clothes that you haven't seen in awhile and some you forgot you even had!

2. All the pretty FALL colors that surround us and make for pretty pictures!

3. Getting to decorate the house all cute for Halloween!

4. Long hair, although I always sometimes hate having long hair its nice to have in the FALL to keep your neck warm!

5. Wearing cute boots...I wish I had more pairs but I love wearing the ones I have

6. Seeing pumpkins being sold at the grocery store is a sure sign of FALL..painting or carving love it all!

7. Now that FALL has arrived that means Thanksgiving/day after shopping is just around the corner! YIPPE!

200th post...such a special one!

09/26/09 the day our lives changed forever....

and

now 09/26/2010

I know I have posted a lot in the past about our Nala but... I wanted to post about her since as of the 26th of September she has now been in our family for 1 whole year. Though it's hard to remember what life was like without her in it and I don't want to know since i'm sure it wasn't as happy without her. I can not put into words the love I have for that adorable, sweet, innocent puppy that came into our lives 09/26/09! What a journey it has been she has taught me so many things about myself that I didn't know existed and also about the power of unconditional love. It was not always perfect and it still has its moments but overall she is the best puppy anyone could ask for. Growing up I always wanted a puppy and I am so grateful I have gotten the opportunity to have such a precious one to be a mom too! So here's to the building of new memories as year number two begins!

{The Greatest Show on Earth}

Adam and I took Ember ( one of the little girls from our old sunbeam class) to the Circus this past weekend and we had a blast as all the pictures can prove! She got spoiled rotten...her mom sent her with $40 dollars and so we got the spiny light up toy, snow cone in a cute elephant cup, cotton candy w/ hat and a Sprite plus Adam and I had a pretzel and drink. We had fun spending time together and we hadn't seen Ember for awhile so it was fun being together! She is a blast and so well behaved. Ember and Adam get along so well, she has him wrapped around her finger! It's so cute to watch them interact! So glad we got to go and it was worth every penny and the smiles were priceless! We love you Ember...Thanks for a fun day!

No (Ordinary} Obsession..

If you have read my blog from the beginning you would have read this post it has now been a little over year since that post and since then my collection has grown by leaps and bounds. If you are now just reading my  blog I suggest you go back and read that post which you can do just clicking on the link(the link is the word post that's in blue at the top) because this post will make more sense if you do. Anyway I have slowly been increasing my collection of baby clothes for the baby I don't have yet but..that's OK I know I will have a baby one day and this is just my way of making the waiting easier/ becoming more prepared. I know to most of you this is a crazy idea and I need to get a life and spend my allowance on other things like myself but trust me I don't need clothes or shoes or anything for myself. So I am spoiling the baby that will one day join our family and he/she will be the best dressed baby ever!! As you can see I have both clothes for a boy and a girl and most the time you end up with one or the other so I'm not exactly sure what I will do with the clothes that I don't up using but I'm sure they will go to good used no matter if we get a Grayson or an Ember. Yes, those are the top picks on our baby name list both have special meaning and if you steal them you will be hurt LOL jk jk!!

P.S. having a few baby clothes laying around comes in really handy when you have to come up with a baby gift on the fly. I found that out recently. :)

{Arriving}...soon I hope!

I have ordered this:

and this:

and I couldn't be happier!!!

{NASCAR}

So as many of you don't know my Mom, Grandpa and Grandma became overnight NASCAR fans (though it seemed that way to me, they tell a different story) I was in complete shock when we came over one Sunday for dinner and they were watching a NASCAR race. I questioned them on there sanity and asked why all of a sudden they were fans. I had no clue they even liked it! So according to them they have been fans for weeks just never told me. Growing up I never pictured my Mother getting so excited for a guy driving a car....but I guess I thought wrong LOL Now that I was clued in to what all the excitement and as we were forced to watch a few races I began to see what the whole craze is about and which drivers were good and which ones weren't. A few days ago a thought crossed my mind...( I know crazy I actually think) LOL anyway instead of wondering what on earth has possessed Mom to be a NASCAR fan I thought why not join her and the rest of the gang and become a NASCAR fan myself. I am not actually sure why I have had such a change of heart maybe it's so my Mom and I have something we can bond over or maybe its because I like driving fast (most of the time) and if I can't drive 100 mph or more why not cheer for people that can and not get a ticket!! LOL So people you are looking/reading the newest NASCAR fan!! I know jaw-dropping!! So when I asked my Mom what driver I should call my own she gave me a few names and after spending way too much time on NASCAR.com researching drivers and who was the best and of course the hottest ( you can't cheer for an ugly driver) I told my Mom I would let her know of my decision by Sunday  ( that is when the next race is). I now can announce who my driver will be that I will cheer for...drum roll please!! 

 DENNY HAMLIN I am excited for this new craze/ new obsession. I have no clue what I am doing but I spent an hour reading his wikipedia page and I am trying to learn all about him and actually know what I am talking about...it will take time... heck I cheer for Peyton Manning and I don't know all the much about him other then he is amazing quarterback for my favorite football team and frankly thats all I really care about, ok that and the present football season. Ok back to NASCAR, when I told my Mom of my decision she was ecstatic and when I told my Grandpa he said "why do you want to be a NASCAR fan it's boring" LOL I said then Grandpa why do you watch it then he says most of the time its good and that its exciting but he tends to doze off while watching most of the races. I don't care if I doze off a few times but there will be boring times but...that is a small price to pay to be DENNY HAMLIN's almost biggest fan! LOL I actually bought a very cute shirt of Denny's that will arrive at my home shortly and maybe then I will feel the NASCAR spirit until then I will question my own sanity!! LOL 

( Here are the rest of the drivers that have invaded our life)

{Jeff Gordon is Mom's driver}

{Tony Stewart is Grandma's driver}

{Jimmie Johnson is Grandpa's driver}

{P.S. Adam wants no part of newest fad but he supports whatever I want...so sweet}
