I am the first to admit that this blog has been on the back burner... my last post was about pre-geriatric shoes on Dec 20th... and that post was pushing my creativity side of this brain of mine. I mean really... shoes??? and the best part is that I was totally obsessed with them and I still have yet to buy a pair. :)
However...
I AM BACK! and i have a ton to blog about. I will preface by saying that it is totally and completly random... no order what-so-ever!
First... I thought since this is a fresh post, I will try to strum up a fresh background and I wont lie, Im really not a fan of this current one, but I loved the blue and orange together. The cheesy flower can go as well as the hearts, but the name is great; "A Day at the Beach." How cute is that? And for all who wonder why I never have a purple background (ya know, I have a giant obsession w/ the color, hence the name) but there is NEVER any cute ones out there. So, if that was just eating at you, now you know! ha ha :)
So, where to begin...
We finally got our new appliances. They are great, just a tad harder to keep a gas stove clean vs. the cooktop, but for all who dont have gas stoves and are inspiring Ina Garten wannabee's, they are fantastic!!! I took a couple of pics but they are really really really blown out from the flash, but you'll get the idea.
Ive also been on a mission to find stuff for our wall around the house as well. I picked up these cuties at Shopko of all places. They are above our headboard and look super cute.
I also wanted to get some type of 'saying' that has that adhesive that you can cling on the any wall, but they are packaged in the worst way ever and look like a pain to adhere, so I decided that I was going to make my own. Im a bit bias, but I think they turned out cute. :)
and this lonley(dying) tulip is just too cute not to add to the "around the house" portion of this post.
and last but not least I FINALLY found something I like for above the staircase heading downstairs!
Moving right along, Mike and I were invited to a Bday party for his freinds/fraternity brothers this past Sat. They are identical twins and one (with glasses) works at a HOT club downtown Milwaukee called Apartment 720 and they had about 200 people invited to this parrrrtaaayyyy. We took up all of the VIP area and not to mention Nate's (in glasses) boss buys him a rediculous bottle of champagne every year and a little bird told me (his twin) that this bad boy is $2800!!!!!!!!!! WHAAAAT!!!! I know right?? Anyways, you can tell what kind of night we had by the crazy pics! Happy Bday Jarrod and Nate! Cant wait til next year! ( the pic below is was posted on Apt 720's website for the celebration. Funny huh?) oh, and the very last pic is Mike post party. Couldnt resist! :)
the real Jay and Nate below
and of course... post champagne (ha ha)
Following this crazy night was my cousin-in-law's baby shower and let me just tell you that she is so adorable you guys!
Arent these the cutest ever?
As you can see it has been a busy couple of weeks with all of the above and school and work but now I can cross the "Need to update blog" off my list to do! YAY! (Crossing it off is the best part!)
