Boy Meets World!!!

I was browsing on Pinterest the other day... like usual :) and I saw this picture and description:

“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.” - Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World

I LOVVVEEEDDD watching Boy Meets World growing up. Whenever the theme song came on, I would throw my hands to side as if I was surfing. Embarrassing, I know. But, with this picture as inspiration, I bought the first 3 seasons off Amazon for like 25.00 for all 3!! So I will definitely be participating in a BMW marathon when they get here :)

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words...

Well in my case, not as many words. If you know me, I'm not very good at keeping up with my blog. But for Day 1, the challenge is to take a picture of yourself and write 10 facts. Taking a picture of yourself can be difficult because, when holding the camera out your arm is always 3x the size of your face. Or you get the tacky reflection picture, where you take a picture of yourself in the mirror.

So anyhooo... this is me :)

And my 10 facts are:

1. I used to be blonde in high school

2. If I could be anything in the world, I would be a carpenter like my grandpa

3. Piggy-backing off #2, I want to design and build my own house one day

4. I organize and think in blocks of color, hence my movies being organized by color and not alphabetically

5. I could spend all day in the Norman Rockwell Museum

6. It took me 20 minutes to get to school one day, where it normally took 7 minutes, because there was a cow in the middle of the street

7. I was terrified of dogs until college, I couldn't even walk on the same side of the street

8. I love Jesus

9. I'm extremely gullible

10. I want to learn how to cook without recipes

Our friendship is now 10 facts deeper :)

New Followed Blogs

Hello. So I know I'm really bad at keeping up with my blog and posting new things, but I am really good at keeping up with other people's blogs and finding new inspiration blogs. So I just wanted to list off some of the new ones I am following. They are a mixture of style and home design. I love these types of blogs because it inspires me to be creative in my everyday life, such as my weardrobe and home decor. Hope you find some you like!

Just Gotta Dance!

Last Friday we had some people over for Bible Talk and Wings Over which went well! We had 2 visitors (props to Kachi) and had just enough to feed everyone some DEEEElicious honey bbq wings.

It's become a tradition when the guys in my family group come over to play a little "Just Dance" on the Wii. My first attempt to get the video of them failed miserably, as I deleted them ALLLL off my phone. It was a horrible and awful moment in my life... those were priceless videos. BUT!! We made Chris and Chris do it again, and needless to say, they had just as much this time around as they did the first try. I promised them I wouldn't put the video on Youtube or Facebook, but I knew I had to get it up online somehow... hehe

 

We also knew we had to get Frankie to do a number for us because he's a funny guy and we love anything Frankie does. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

The WaWa Project

Hey guys! I've just recently started to follow the blog of The WaWa Project.

The goal of the WaWa Project is to build an environmentally friendly, sustainable boarding school in Ghana for people with disabilities. Currently, they are beginning to talk with different foundations and look into grant funding to be able to enter the first phase of their project. You can help support them by donating money or by just following their blog.

Out With The Old And In With the New

Out with the old... idea... and in with the new... idea... :) I have been dwelling on the idea of redoing my room yellows and greys for too long, and kind of got tired from it, and started to miss the red in my room. However, I still want to redo my room a little more upbeat, happy, spring-like. I found this throw pillow on Etsy and fell in love with all the colors.

I love that I can still incorperate the yellow things I've already bought, the red I currently own, and the turqoise flower knobs I've already purchased.

I've also been trying to figure out what color to paint my large dresser!! It's been killing me because it's a pretty big piece of furniture in my small room and I don't want it to over power anything and I also don't want it to be the wrong color. I am going to attempt to bring it out on my porch, through my bedroom window, and paint it out there. I know I can take the individual drawers out, but I don't know if I can take the base out. One, it's too heavy, and two, it may be too big to fit through. So suggestions will be helpful.

But anyway, what color to paint it... I was watching PS. I Love You with Hillary Swank and Gerard Butler on Sunday.

It is a very sad movie but I love love love the love story behind it all and how Gerard's character thought out this whole elaborate plan to send his wife letters after he passed away to help her get over his death. It's definitely a chick-flick worth seeing.

In the movie, Hillary and Gerard's charachter's have a dresser in their apartment that looked just like the pillows I just bought on Etsy...

Now I know what I'm going to do when I paint my dresser!!! I just have to wait for the warm weather to start painting... Eeek! I'm so excited.

Happy Monday everybody!

Snow Tubing!!

I went snow tubing for the first time this weekend and had more fun than I had in a while. Usually when tubing you need to go down on your stomach which scared me to death. I was so scared I was going to bust my face up, but I braved the icy hill and got a running start and down I went. It was so much fun! Until...

I was getting a running start, with my tube in both hands. I leaped forward to go down the hill. Little did I know, I'm super fast and jumped past my tube, and went face first into the snow, just to role down the hill. Everyone at the top of the hill just goes, "Ohhhhh!" So embarrassing, but soooo funny. I can't wait to go again.
