Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving, ate lots of food, had lots of laughs, and made warm memories. I'm thankful for a lot of things, and there are still a lot of things that I take for granted, but nevertheless I am grateful for them. One thing I am thankful for, or at least 2 things I am thankful for are these two individuals in Washington. They are the prettiest, sweetest, funniest, kindest 2 girls you will ever meet. Who are they? Some of my best friends that I am honored to be considered their friend. Feels like I've known them a lifetime, but every moment with them is just too short. So blessed God put them in my life, actually it's pretty amazing how God blended our lives together. Love you Jeanne and Joy!!! :)

Chair Remodel!

Hey Everyone!
So I thought I'd blog about this remodeling of my desk chair:) Well the chair that was at my desk was a black stool (you can somewhat see it in the first picture) that was too high, so nobody could actually get their legs under the desk which made it to were people had to lean over which was not easy on the back.
well my mom found this chair on craiglist (it came with a desk but that was used in another area in the house)  but as you can see it's pretty nasty looking but it was just the perfect height!
So mom gave it to me and said I could do whatever I wanted with it...so I painted it!
Well I painted it the first couple of coats and then kinda left it sitting in the workshop and kinda forgot about it lol but mom was great and finished painting it and found this awesome material for it and gave some couch to it and it has worked out soo wonderfully!
anyhow..just thought I'd share:)  

ugh! it took quite a few coats of paint to make it look completely
white which is why I got lazy with it...I mean when you're not
seeing any progress it's hard to stay excited about it lol
oh well, my bad! :P

The End result! :) so happy with it and it is SO comfy!

~A Wedding Blunder In the Black Hills~

So the latest read:) I was extremely excited when I saw this and I was hurrying to to finish a different book I was on just so I could get to this one:D
soo I got done with my other book and started on this one..I was so into it that I couldn't even put it down. It was actually kinda pathetic, but like I say, when you get those books that are really good it's just reeeally hard to put it down haha
Well I got it done in like 2 days..that's not normally how long I take, usually I end up spending a week cuz my schedule won't really allow me too much time to leisurely read. I was sooo into the whole book, it was sweet, cute and I just enjoyed it all around....Untiiiil the end:/
I was extremely crushed:( I read that whole thing expecting a beautiful ending and it hit me with a tomato:/
Needless to say I was so mad! and also needless to say I do not recommend that you read this.
well actually I guess you could but just don't expect a grand finish.

uuh when I think about it, not really sure what everyone else's idea of a grand ending is so I guess I shouldn't  say that I don't recommend it. But yeah now you know what I thought of it.

Still keeping my eyes pealed for good authors! So any ideas please feel free to share:)

Until Next Time:)

Lets have our own little Book Club!:)

~A BILLION REASONS WHY~

Well since we're doing a blog we might as well do it the right way..thought we might share recent reads and how we liked them:)
So I've been really into reading this past summer..dang I must have read like a billion HA jk (do you get it? it a joke cuz of the book^) anyways no I seriously read like probably 10 to 15. yeah yeah I know that's not really a ton but for my schedule and for having so much happening this year I thought it was considerably well!

So more about the book! I really did enjoy it. First book I've read by this author and I was not disappointed at all. Now I don't know if this is the case for everyone but I really do judge a book by it's cover front and back..I like to read the description on the back of the book and then when it has a cute picture
on the front of the cover it does make me want to read it:)

So rather then me tell you the gist of the book and probably totally spoil it for you by telling you all the good stuff and forgetting to just tell you the basics, I just copied and pasted this description from Amazon
which is exactly what's on the back of the book..

~~There are a billion reasons Kate should marry her current boyfriend.
~~Will she trade them all to be madly in love? 

Katie McKenna leads a perfect life. Or so she thinks. She has a fulfilling job,a cute apartment, and a wedding to plan with her soon-to-be-fiance,Dexter. She can think of a billion reasons why she should marry Dexter. He's everything she wants in a husband.

And then in walks Luc DeForges, her bold, breathtaking ex-boyfriend. Only now he's a millionaire. And he wants her to go home to New Orleans to sing for a friend's wedding. As his date.

But Katie made up her mind about Luc eight years ago, when she fled their hometown after a very public breakup. Yet there's still a magnetism between then she can't deny.

Katie thought her predictable relationship with Dexter would be the bedrock of a lasting, Christian marriage. But what if there's more? What if God's desire for her is a heart full of life? And what if that's what Luc has offered all along? 

sounds great uh? well if you end up reading it I hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think about it!
And don't forget to comment and tell me what your favorite book is and who your favorite author is! Always on the hunt for another good book!:)

Thanks for reading! :)
