So in love...

with my sister's tempurpedic bed.  I wish we had one.  We're only at my sister's place because she, her hubby, their son and her hubby's family all went on a cruise for the week. Lucky Ducks.

But seriously. Have you ever laid on or slept in one before? They're amazing.  Everyone should at least have the pleasure of taking a nap in one some day.

Best sleep I've had in a while.

Hands down.

The End.

I love the show.  I'm not what you'd call a "gLeek" though.  I have not watched it from the beginning but just recently started watching it.  My husband doesn't so much like the show, so I watch it at my sister's house (she has the DVR (: ).

They're such a talented bunch of singers, dancers, actors....  I love to listen to them sing.  Most of the time, I get goose bumps just hearing any one of them belt it out.

Call me crazy, but the most recent episode- the one with the funeral- made me cry.  If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil anything for you, but it's a good one.  It's funny how a tv show, something that's just meant for entertainment, can cause so much emotion.

Anyway... that's my randon thought for today  :)

Silly boy

So last night my son decides that it's a good idea to take a nap a little after 6.  I let him do it only because he hadn't been feeling well- other wise, heck no! He'd be up for forever! Anyway...

So he'd been sleeping a while on the couch. My husband and I were eating dinner and just watching tv. A commercial with a lot of music came on and out of the blue, our son decides it's a good enough song to wake up to and dance around on the couch.

Just like that, he's awake. Feeling much better, and wanting to dance. It was hilarious.

Funniest thing that happened all day  :)   The joys of having kids <3

Happy Birthday!

Like the title says.....

Today is my husband's birthday. Happy birthday, babe!!! We love you <3

Ride 'em Cowboy!

So my husband loves horses. He started working with horses when he was a teenager (13 or 14, I think?) and continued to work with them for a couple of years. He really got into training and breaking horses, and he's actually very good at it. A natural, most tell him. He took some time off to go to school and to do various other things (get married, start a family, etc (: ) but has recently gotten back into riding and breaking. And let me tell you.... he is in love.  Right now he is working with 6 different horses.  One of which is a wild (yes, WILD) Mustang. 

Here is another picture... This one is pretty cool:

Can you believe she let him stand on her?! Pretty awesome  :)

There they are. She's a pretty horse. She's almost 5 and from what Brandon (my hubby) has told me, she has never in her entire life been ridden. So he's been working with her for the past month or so. From what he's told me, she's made a lot of progress! He's actually been able to put a saddle on her.  He's also been able to get her to walk, trot and canter. The person he's working for is VERY impressed he's been able to get her this far. I'm impressed too :)  Can't wait to see her when he's done with her!

So now, here are a few more pictures I have to show him off! I'm a proud wife :)

Jumping a barrel....

Attempting roping...

Now this last one was taken just this last weekend.  Brandon took part in the EXCA (Extreme Cowboy Association).  It was a competition. He placed 3rd in the Pro division!

As for me, I know absolutely nothing about horses. I've ridden a few times but nothing serious. Just a trail ride here and there.  So, I'm glad he's so in to horses. Maybe he can teach me something. He's my cowboy in worn in boots and leather :)

"Model" Student

So yesterday I got to be a "model" for my cousin.  My cousin is Taylor. Her blog is Little Bit of Everything.  She's good.  Although fairly new to the make-up scene, she knows her stuff.  She does a lot of vlogs about make-up and how to apply it.  She also will review products and tell you what she likes and doesn't like in certain make-up.  She's fun to watch so you should go check her out!  Anyway.....

She was interviewing for a position with MAC Cosmetics so I met her at the store in the Galleria. Now, I've never even stepped foot into this store. Not ever.  I'm the type who buys her make-up at Target, Wal-Mart, various Drug stores...  I have never in my life owned any kind of "nice" (read: expensive) make-up.  MAC is some good stuff!  I now know why it would cost me well over $100 to beautify my whole face.  Between brushes, foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow, etc. you could easily spend a small fortune in that store.  With that said, I must say, it was rather enjoyable to sit there and have someone else put all this wonderfully expensive make-up on for you.  What girl doesn't love a little bit of pampering, right? 

I should have taken a picture of how the make up turned out.  I liked it. She did an every day look and then transformed it into an evening look.  For the evening look I had a red lip. I never in my life have ever worn any shade of red on my lips and was kind of nervous to see what it would looked like when she was done.  Surprisingly, it didn't look half bad (maybe because she mixed a red with a pink and it turned out nicer than I thought it might).  All in all, I think she did a good job.  Maybe I'm biased because she is my cousin after all.  But I really do think she did a great job and hope she gets the job!

First time for everything...

Well, my husband and I just got news that we will be moving to the country :)


We've been looking at properties out in Alvin for a while now.  We found one we liked a few weeks ago. Went to go look at the land and house that is on it.  We fell in love.  We've been in an apartment since we've been married (almost 4 years) and are SO ready to have a place that is ours. We couldn't be happier!


Now... just to get all the paper work in order :)

We have lift off!

First. Blog. Ever.

I've been playing with the idea of creating a blog for a while now.  I follow a few already and have really enjoyed reading others posts and taking a peek into their lives.  Other people fascinate me.  I can get lost reading blogs of people I have never met.  Same goes for those I know, too.  

So, I bit the bullet and created one. 


I plan to use this just as a way to escape, I suppose.  To just say what's on my mind. Share creativity. Stories. Pictures. Anything I can think of.

Not much for a first post, I know.  I hope to bring more to the table in future posts- hopefully something entertaining on most days... if not, bear with me- we all have to start somewhere  :)
