Mmm...shopping.

I have quickly come to a realization that I am not going to fit into my regular wardrobe for very much longer. Which I am A-OK with. It is actually kind of exciting!! But, pants are becoming a bit snug and tops are hugging my shape a little more closely than I prefer. So, I am definitely in need of doing a little shopping people!!

Just a few things I have my eye on...

Totally cute top from Nordstrom.


I like this whole get-up too. Also from Nordstrom.


These next few items are from Gap Maternity. I am liking the chord...




I don't know why, but I have an obsession with the color gray right now. Love it.


And some fun things. Not necessarily pregnant-lady related...
Scarves from Old Navy





I want these, even if they are ridiculously expensive...


Adorable red loafers from Nordstrom. Can you believe that I don't own a pair of red shoes? It's horrible, I know.


And this Michael Kors watch. It. Is. Beautiful.


Alright... I'm done coveting the things that are not mine. For now...

Lonely...but a good day...

So, Ryan is in Houston today and tomorrow. Blah. He has to work at the Houston Livestock Show for his boss as a translator for all of the spanish speaking folks that walk by their booth. I think he is enjoying being able to brush up on his Spanish, since I obviously do not speak it.

You might guess that I am bored out of my mind. It's true. However, aside from my boredom and loneliness from my lack of husband-ness:(, today was actually an okay day. I got a lot done and ran quite a few errands.

I purchased a paper shredder like the one in the picture at the local Office Depot, and I love it! I've had a stack of papers that have been haunting me for months, so it felt good to see the stack disappear. I even shredded papers that didn't need to be, just cuz I was having so much fun, and yes, because I was bored.

I spent a rediculous amount of time in Hobby Lobby today. I went in for 2 items....and I came out with about 15 items. I need help. Anyway, I needed some way to organize my card-making paper, so I got this cute box. Mine is actually a bigger version of it, so it holds my 12x12 paper. So cute. Now my hobby that has been taking over our kitchen table, is contained to this little box.

I also made the HUGE decision to have my engagement ring and wedding band separated. I had them saudered shortly after we were married, but lately I have been wishing they were separated again. So, I did it. It is at the jewelry store as I type. Now when I get them back I'll wear them as separate rings. I think I'm happy with my decision. Having them spearated makes the center stone look even bigger. And what girl doesn't want a bigger-looking ring...I mean come on!! It will look like the picture below again:):) can't wait:)

Online Shopper

The online shopper in me found this cute little diddy. Juicy Couture Watch in a vibrant shade of green, love it. The word is that bold color is going to be very in this year....

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

I am having so much fun thinking of decorating ideas for Christmas. And YES, we have already started Christmas decorating. I guess we are extra excited for this Christmas because it is Ryan's first Christmas home from his mission AND it's our first Christmas together being married. So, it's doubley special. Being newlyweds, we are basically starting from scratch so we are having fun talking about new Christmas traditions we want to have in our family and how we want to decorate. So fun! Anyways, with some gift certificates we received as gifts from our wedding that we still had not used, we purchased these stockings at Pottery Barn. Love them! Because hello???! Santa Claus is coming to town! And we have to have stockings :) We got our names monogramed on them as well. And, of course, Roxie and Smokey each got a stocking of their own since they had matching pet stockings. And thanks to free shipping and the gift certificates, all four stockings cost me $11.78 instead of over $100. Pretty good deal eh?
