Remodeling the House!

So this weekend, Chris and I started on turning our house into OUR house, we started in the computer/music room! The walls were just a plain white and it look so dull in the room, and very cluttered! We decided to go with a pale green bottom layer, then on top we sponged/splotted 2 shades darker! It kinda looks like a green/tan color, it looks amazing! Chris really knows his stuff and did a wonderful job, I helped but he did all the hard work! We then hung up my Audrey Hepburn pictures along with the new vinal lettering quote I got that says....

I believe in Manicures. I believe in Overdressing. I believe in Primping at leisure and wearing Lipstick. I believe that Laughing is the best calorie burner. I Believe in Kissing; Kissing a lot. I believe in Being Strong when everything else seems to be going wrong. I believe Happy Girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I Believe in Miracles. Audrey Hepburn

Its so cute, I am making a trip to Tai Pan this weekend to find some more stuff, I hope Chris will live through it... lol

Our next project is our bedroom, I think we are going to go with a bright green maybe a lime green, with a textured color on top, stay tuned for updated pictures!! After our bedroom we work on the living room and then... PARTY!!!

P.S. Anyone looking for a cat, I have one for free! She doesn't like the new place, or the dogs and I cant keep her!! I will post pictures later!!

Visit from John & Angie

I know its been a while since I posted anything, but life has been way crazy... I just started school 3 weeks ago so school and work is taking up 98% of my time the rest of the time I try to spend with Chris. Right before school started John and Angie came down to visit, for those who don't keep up John is my Biological dad, Ang is his wife. Now this visit was not only the first time they met Chris but it was the first time my mom and John have seen each other in like 20 years, so needless to say everyone was a bit nervous. But its like they have been friends for years, and Chris fit right in.. He is the easiest person to talk to I love it. So the first day we just chilled gave them the tour of the new pad, Friday we went on base and took a tour of the BX (Sammy has never been there) lol, then we went to the museum, we made it with 8 minutes left before closing so we saw the entire museum in under 8 minutes! Friday night we went to dinner at the Outback... mmmm.... So so so good!Then we went Galactic bowling!! Saturday we planned on going up to Park City but the weather was off and on so we decided to go to the Gateway, gave them a tour of the Planatuarium and saw Terminator!! Right before the movie the rain hit so hard and we were at the other end of the Gateway so we had to run the entire way in the rain, needless to say we were socked the entire movie. After that we went home and changed to go out to Brewskies, we chilled there for a while with my mom and everyone it was all together a perfect trip and we cant wait to see them again... We are hoping to drive down soon... Look back later for more updates...

Our Brand New House!!

As you all know me and Chris were looking to move in together, we were looking at a brand new apt in Washington Terrace but it fell through, so we decided to keep looking....Well 2 Saturdays ago we drove past a townhouse for Rent! We stopped and called the number, the landlord came right out to show us the place. The people who were there before got in trouble with the law so left the place with no notice or cleaning...So it did need some cleaning but the carpets were brand new and it was spacious. Plus he said dogs were aloud, and that is very important since Chris and I both have pups! We told him that we could get him the deposit and first months rent to him that Monday. Well that was a little more than a week ago, and we are living there and we love it! Its nice and big, quiet and its the best feeling in the world to be driving home and know that I'm driving home to Chris every night! I love Chris so much and I know that this is only going to make our relationship better! Chris has been very sweet about decorating the house, he has let me decorate it as I please, which of course means lots of pictures and lots of Vinal lettering... But it turned out great and we soon will be having a house warming party and expect all of you to be there!!!

No Doubt/Paramore Concert

For Chris's birthday I bought him tickets to the No Doubt/Paramore Concert, yes they were mostly cause I really wanted to go! lol but yesterday was the concert, o my gosh it was a freakin blast! We had General Admission so of course we had to fight our way up to get a good spot, but once we had our spot probably about 10 feet from the stage we settled in! The Sounds opened the show, they were OK, the lead singer was not pretty at all, she was very manly and was constantly spitting into the crowd!!! Gross! Then Paramore came on, and I have wanted to see them for a while, they were amazing, they had such a good energy, and they sound perfect! In between shows, you always have those retarded people trying to push there way to the front, well Chris would not have it, he was making sure nobody got past us, even some of the little midget girls were taking crap to him... It was hilarious but we made some friends and kept our wall and stayed put the entire show! No Doubt was amazing as well, freakin Gwen Stephani is so pretty even when she does here hair all weird... But it was a great concert, and Chris loved his present!
