/ that I am excited and nervous, all at the same time, for our first contractor's visit tonight. We finally scheduled some bids on our kitchen and bathroom renovations. Tonight is the first contractor's bid. He came highly recommended from a friend and we have so many ideas to throw around. My in-laws are coming by to hang out with the girls so we can talk to the contractor without the girls interfering.
/ that the outpouring love I received about my anniversary this week has made my heart happy. I can't believe we have only been married for 3 years and are going on 7 years of dating. Wow.
/ that I am dying to buy all the Fall things. I am still on the search for some black riding boots. I tried on the Tory Burch ones that I thought I wanted and thought they were just ok. Not sure they would be that comfortable. I did fall in love with some Frye ones this weekend, but at $300 to $400, just not sure I want to (or can) spend that much on boots.
/ that I am already thinking about Halloween. Yes, I realize it is still far away, but I am thinking of ideas for the girls' costumes. I wanted to do something classic like princesses, seeing as I was just at Disneyland, but Rory said we can do that later. He wants something better. Ugh. So the search is on. I am gone for two weeks in September, so I need to figure it out, so I can order them by the end of September.
/ that I NEED to go to Hobby Lobby this weekend. I am seeing so much cute decor (holiday and house) out there that I want. The girls' room needs some more toddler decor and Hobby Lobby is the perfect place for that.
/ that I am slacking on my reading lately. I am still reading The Good Girl, but I am almost done. Thanks to a work trip last week. I have so many books on my wishlist and I can't wait to read them all. Where can I find an extra couple hours in the day?
/ that I am LOVING Bachelor in Paradise this season. I love all the drama. Chad drama was awesome. Josh is a pig and annoys me. Ashley I. wow girl you need to get over your OBSESSION. But I love it and look forward to Monday's and Tuesday's!
/ that I can eat pizza everyday. I love it that much. I have been wanting pizza for the last two weeks and I haven't had any. Send pizza now.
/ that I may have purchased boxed wine this week to just have a glass of wine whenever I want and I save the bottles of wine for special dinners or nights. I never thought I would drink boxed wine, but Black Box has some pretty yummy wines on the cheap.
And that's it for my confessions this week. Have a good Thursday all!
Yes! Give me all the fall things. Clothes. Decor. I want it all. Hobby lobby is the best place for decor. That's where I went for jacks room and I need to go back for more. I'm
ReplyDeleteWhoops I don't know what happened. I love pizza too. I could eat it daily. I totally feel you on all of these confession! We talked about gutting our master bath and even had plans drawn up and co tractor came over but in the end it was a huge expense and one we decided to wait on. I'm so excited to hear what y'all have planned for the two spaces!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for fall clothes. I love summer clothes, but since I've been wearing it since April I am over it. Bring on the boots, skinny jeans, plaid, and scarves. :) Can't wait to hear about your renovations.
ReplyDeleteI am ready for fall! I have been staying away from Hobby Lobby, but come Sept 1, game on! Good luck with Halloween costumes - I can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteYay for home renovations! That is so fun and exciting! Yep, I need some new fall/Halloween decor from Hobby Lobby too, I just need to get there alone :)
ReplyDeleteI am loving Bachelor in Paradise too!! It's so so good!!
BIP is such a guilty pleasure! HA! Ashley I is redic and needs to get over her obsession! IDK what I am doing about halloween. Honestly I could care less about it. Hobby Lobby....I really should go there and see what if anything jumps out at me for #babybigtruck2 nursery! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteSo with you on the Fall things. I am ready! And Bachelor in Paradise - I know! Such a guilty pleasure :)
ReplyDeleteI am not ready for fall yet. I feel like it flies by then its Christmas. I need a little more before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOMG girl I am with you on the pizza! We try to stick to once a day but..the struggle is real! And I cannot wait for fall things..I say as of Sept 1st it is on!
ReplyDeleteI could have pizza daily and I am still craving it. When do I get my pizza?! Haha. Oh yes it is on as of September1.
DeleteI am so excited for your renovations! I can't wait to see what you guys do! I'm ready for fall and we're actually even ready to pull the trigger on Mila's costume (she picked it out this year!). It's just been so hot lately, I'm kind of over summer. I can eat pizza every day too! I was actually especially craving some last night. We might have to order a pie tonight.
ReplyDeleteBachelor in Paradise is becoming even better than the real show. I love all the mix up of couples. Carly & Evan - WHAT???? IS??? HAPPENING???? I'd love to see them end up together :)
ReplyDeleteHalloween is my favorite! My hubby has to put his foot down on when I start decorating for it. I'd do it now - but he makes me wait till at least October 1... though I always slide it in at the end of September :) haha
Can I just co-sign everything you said about BIP? Josh grosses me out, and Ashley I.... it's like she's in high school! Happy belated anniversary! <3

Can't get enough of bachelor in paradise!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Bachelor in Paradise!! So good. But Ashley I is just plain cray cray and I feel really bad for Jared. She is going to ruin every chance that he ever had with any girls. Lol.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tonight! I can't wait to hear how everything goes and see what you guys do!
It's crazy that good boxed wine is a thing now! I almost bought a box at the store the other day. I think that's a good idea, drinking the boxed stuff for normal nights and breaking out bottles for special nights.
ReplyDeleteLast year I searched all Fall and Winter for the perfect black riding boots and never found them, and my old ones are falling apart. I'm starting early this year!
ReplyDeleteI wandered around hobby lobby for an HOUR the other day. Their fall stuff is perfection.
I am as obsessed with Bachelor in Paradise this year as Ashley is with Jared.
I need black riding boots too. I have had the same pair of tall wedge black boots since 2010 and I cannot let those go because I am so picky about my black boots! I am a boxed wine drinker these days too. I get the Bota Box redvolution from Costco, the equivalent of four bottles for $15.99, can't beat it!
ReplyDeleteI could eat pizza every single day as well. It actually takes quite a lot of self restraint NOT to eat is everyday! ;)
ReplyDeletehaha same here. I definitely need it in my life all the time.
