Another New Bed! HA.

Yes,I have again bought a new bedspread. My last one was really cheap and it was a quilt. I don't like quilts. I have been collecting things for it over time and just now have been able to put it all together. And I am OBSESSED with my new pillows! Take a look....









I couldn't get a good picture because Bella was going crazy and jumping all over everything. But you get the idea!

valentine's day.

Ahhhhh..... Valentine's Day. Bleh. For whatever reason, I dreaded this so much this year. I do not like Valentine's Day and I never really have. I used to like getting those little cards from all my classmates but that ended in Elementary School. I think it is a silly holiday.... and it's fake. Maybe I will feel different someday but that is truly how I feel. I don't think it is just because I am not in love.... I really have always felt that way. Anyway, I was determined to have a happy day and I did. I started it off going to church, then went to the movies with my roommate an another good friend and then ended it with a fun little concert!!!

Yes, I saw Valentine's Day! I would recommend it. There were some really funny parts! It was definitely cute. And you gotta love ALL the famous people that are in it!

And then I went to see Joseph Arthur in Carrboro! I actually won free tickets so that was a nice little treat! I have seen him twice before.... once at Memorial Auditorium when he opened for Wilso and then again in Portland when I was visiting Catherine Bush! This guy is a bit strange but his music is beautiful! As you can see above, he did a little painting during the concert.... it was really neat watching him do that. If you ever want to check him out, listen to the song "Honey and the Moon." It's so beautiful! So all in all, a good Valentine's Day. I hope you all had a great one too!

goodbye peter pan!

This is my good friend Adam. Most of my blog readers know who he is. This guy has always been a great friend to me and I am so lucky to have him in my life! He is one of the most caring and genuine people that I know. We have shared many deep conversations, laughs, words of encouragement and even some tears. In the past 6 months we have hung out more than we did in the past 2 years and I am grateful for that time. He has left for Colorado to start a new job. While I am sad he won't be here to hang out with me, I am excited for him as he starts his new adventure. I hope to be able to go visit him because I have never been to Colorado before! It could be a fun little trip. Anyway, Adam... if you read this, I wish you the best of luck dear friend.

Bella and the snow.

Can you tell that my dog had SO much fun in the snow?

These are old but I just think they are too cute. I took her to work with me one day so I was able to let her off the leash in the fenced in backyard. She LOVED it! Oh my goodness! She ran the entire time we were out there. I don't remember her acting like that last year in the snow. She was very unsure of it but not anymore! This past week when it snowed, we got up early and played in it for about 30 minutes! It was much more fluffy and she kept putting her face in it and rolling around! So cute. Moments like these are why I love my c.r.a.z.y. dog.

Camden and I sledding..... yes, I was a little scared. Do not laugh. :) That was a lot of fun!

snow adventures

I am amazed that it snowed in Raleigh again this year. I had given up hope for so long. I was so sad to not experience very many snow days while in college....I was always hoping for a big snow so classes would be canceled. :) I am very happy that it snowed over the weekend so I could enjoy the snow with friends. My roommate was out of town and they were talking about the possibility of the electricity going out, so I went to stay with some friends just in case that happened. I wasn't sure how I would entertain myself in the dark with no electricity for hours on end. Plus, I get scared really easily and that thought gave me a fright. Kathryn and Devon graciously invited me and Bella over to stay! And boy was it fun! I also had a little treat on Sunday by getting to go and visit the Browns for the morning through the afternoon!

While at Kathryn and Devon's we did so many fun things. We played in the snow, made snow cream which was a failure, watched movies, cooked yummy meals, put a puzzle together, did manicures, took a walk in north hills (that is where they live) and lots more! And while at Ashley and David's we got to go sledding! You will see some fun pictures below!

This is Kathryn and Devon. The first snowflakes in Raleigh are falling behind them!

My attempt at taking a picture of the first snowflakes.... you can kind of see them!

I bought some boots to play in the snow but they still weren't waterproof.... so Cara covered them up for me with bags and duct tape.

Cara bagging Kathryn's feet!

Andy and Devon out in the snow!

Cara and Kathryn... this is a great picture!

Kathy trying to make a snow angel.... the snow was so hard! She had to punch and kick at it!!!

Kathryn and I with our plastic bag shoes!

This was during our walk around North Hills..... we are on Currituck here! Kathryn, Cara, Devon and me.

Laying in the snow!

I think this picture is so cute! Cara was throwing some up into the air.

I tried to do it too but it didn't work as well!

Now this was the next day at the Browns! Anderson and I playing in the snow! It is so beautiful outside.

Camden and I!

Look at the sweet little face!

David and Camden sledding down a fairly steep hill!!!

And David and Ashley! haha.

Stay tuned for a video of me and Camden going down the hill! :)

Ahhh.... the snow was so much fun to play in. Now it is ugly and brown so I wish it would just melt. I made my snow memories for the year so please go away snow ugly snow.

"Dennis Quaid is here!"

Okay ya'll.... some of you may have seen this before but if you haven't, you HAVE to watch it. Most of you know that I LOVE the Ellen Degeneres talkshow! I watch it when I can and youtube missed episodes. She never ceases to make me laugh. [side note: she is the sole reason that I am watching American Idol this season!] Anyway, about a year ago or so she had Dennis Quaid on her show. She had him go to Starbucks and do this prank. She sets up the scene in this clip so please just watch it! I laugh so hard everytime I see it. I had forgotten about it but she had him on her show again this past week and replayed this video so I thought I would share it with you. I hope you enjoy it. It's 3 minutes long but I think it is well worth it!!!
