Wishful Wednesday

I would love to have:


These by Jessica Simpson
and these by Nine West

I am such a shoe person!

Tomorrow is family portrait day. It should make for an interesting day. We haven't had a family portrait done since I was 4 years old.

Our first attempt at Curb Appeal

I don't know why I was so nervous about gardening. It was so much fun and easy. The weather was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Before pictures

This hole was so aggravating and seemed like it was out of place.

The railing needed to be re-painted very badly.

The front yard was a mess while we were in the process. By this time, I had already sanded all the rails down and re-painted them. They look SO much better.


After pictures


The Flowers

I love these. They are Gerber Daisies.



This is called a Pink Flowering Almond. It should grow about 5 feet tall. If you can't tell, it went into that awkward box area.

Overall, I am pleased with the outcome. I can't wait for the grass to grow in even. We seeded it and patched some of the holes. I will more then likely plant some flowers to add some color. I still feel like it is a little bland. I hope the "mini-tree", as I call it, grows in to be the full 5 feet. I think it will add a lot to the front of the house.

I really hope that I don't kill the flowers. I have never had plants and I didn't grow up with plants so this is a whole new adventure.

If Josh ever finds out...

that I have been listening to talk radio he will never let me live it down. I always made fun of him for listening to it constantly and absolutely hated it when I was in the truck with him. In reality, I had never given it a chance. Music is such a big part of my life (even though I can't carry a tune in a bucket), I never thought in a million years that I would be turning the music off in my car and at work and listening to 99.7 WTN instead.

Well let me tell you that Mr. Michael DelGirorno and Mr. Phil Valentine are amazing, hilarious people. Not to mention, I have learned more about what is going on in our country from them then I ever did from the nightly news. I listen on my way to work, all day at work, and on the way home. It's like I can't turn it off. I am so interested to hear what they have to say. I have listened to them for a week now and I don't plan to stop anytime soon.

Perhaps the best part is listening to Dave Ramsey from 1-4. A gentleman called in today and said that he and his wife are debt free. They had about $80,000 in debt and got out of it in about 2 years. Josh has been listening to him for several months now and is officially out of debt (except the mortgage) and we are now working on my debt. I have no where close to $80,000 in debt, but I have a pretty little penny. No child should ever have a credit card at the age of 18!!!! My goal is in the next 1 1/2 years to be completely out of debt. I can't wait to call Dave's show and yell, like an idiot, on air that I'm debt free... (its a part of his Friday show...all people recently out of debt can call the show and yell..."I'm debt free").
