Nice Weekend!

We had such a nice weekend. It's not too often that we get the chance to get away and see my brother, so this past weekend we did just that! We decided to take a few days and go down to stay with him. We had a very nice time!! WE were able to hang out and just relax. We also got to eat some really yummy food and do a little shopping too. I'm so glad we were able to go down there. It was nice to see him and get away for a few days. I'm hoping we can do it again soon.

Video Card

My computer is fairly new, but Scott was recently telling me that I really should look into getting a better video card for it. I've been looking around and have found some video cards that I think would work, but really need to ask his opinion...as he's the technological one in the family. I'm not very informed on all of these computer related things. The one I found is on Buy.com though...so I'm sure he'll like it. He's loves to shop on this website!!

Visiting My Brother

I'm sure looking forward to this weekend. It's been a while since we got to go anywhere, and this weekend we're going to see my brother! I can't wait. We haven't been down to see him for months....so it will be a lot of fun! He's bene really busy lately and has had a lot going on...so it will be good for him to get his mind off of everything too! I think we'll probably just hang out most of the weekend and catch up. Then next weekend he'll be up to see us for Kaelyn's birthday party! Yeah!

Power Properties

Have you ever heard of Power Properties before? They are a company that I recently learned of. They aim to contribute to the East Dallas Business and Residential Community, and have been for over 13 years! A number of years ago...they actually got over 600 units in Lakewood and East Dallas. They purchased them, renovated them, leased them and managed them. I was impressed with all they do. If you'd like to learn more about them, check out their site today.

Princess Cake

I am REALLY excited for Kaelyn's birthday party. I was most stressed about the cake. I wanted it to be perfect and finally found a picture of one online that I thought would be great! We're going with a "princess" theme kind of...so I wanted the cake to be none other than a Princess crown. I wanted to make sure there would be enough pieces though...so we're going to have a Princess crown on top of a sheet cake. I know it sounds weird...but I think it will turn out really cute!! :)

Car Insurance

We really like the insurance company we work for. We've been told by some people to make sure we're getting the best deal by going to other companies in the area and getting a car insurance quote...however we feel it's more important to like the company you're with and have an agent you trust is working for you. We're very pleased with the coverage we have....and we really like our agent. I'm glad we've found such a great car insurance company.

Toys

Kaelyn absolutely loves bathtime. The only problem is, she doesn't have a whole lot of bath toys. With her birthday right around the corner, we thought...what better than to get her some bath toys. I'm really excited that she will finally have something to play with in there. I have a feeling that now it will be even harder to get her out. I know she's getting some other great toys for her birthday as well. It will be fun to see how she reacts to everything.

One Year Older...

Today I am one year older and it's crazy how fast the past year has gone! Isn't it weird to think back over the last year and all that has gone on in a fairly short period of time?? So much has changed in my life over the past year. The most memorable, and happiest day in the past year was definitely the birth of our daughter, Kaelyn!! She is our first child and has brought into our lives so much joy! I am truly blessed!! Last year at this time we were anticipating her arrival...and wondering when she would decide to enter this world and meet us! She decided to hold off until November 1st...but it was all worth the wait just to hold her in our arms!! :)

So far my birthday has started off perfectly....with kisses from my hubby and daughter and a sweet gift they got for me! I've been eying a super cute purse in our local mall for quite some time...and I guess Scott realized that. He surprised me with one of the purses that I have been wanting...what a sweet guy! I'm very luck to have him as my husband!! :) Seeing how my birthday is in the middle of the week like this...Scott had to work. But, I'm still looking forward to a night spent with him and Kaelyn later, just relaxing and enjoying a peaceful evening at home. This is my idea of the perfect birthday!!

Dr Lark

I, like most women, enjoy taking care of my skin. Even at a young age, I still enjoy making sure that my skin is soft and hydrated. I also like to reduce the appearance of any fine lines that are starting to show. I recently learned that the squalane skin care products on www.drlark.com can help with all of these things and more. They can truly help to soothe your skin and help it to appear younger. Isn't that great?!? What I was impressed with most about this site was that they have reasonably priced items and automatic order plans. You can check out their skin care products on the Dr. Lark site today for more information.

Shorter days and Colder weather

I don't know about you, but I don't really like when it gets dark out so early. It seems like I wake up in the morning and it's dark out, and then by 6:00 it's dark out. I would rather it be light out for much longer. I miss it...I guess that's summer time though...and now we're nearing winter time. Winter is definitely not one of my favorite times of year....I would much rather have the warm weather. Oh well...I guess that's the way it goes here in the midwest though.
