2 Year Anniversary

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 TJ & Vanessa 0 Comments

Yesterday marked our 2 Year Anniversary since we tied the knot. Yep, that's right we have been married for 2 years now!

It's kinda crazy, but at the same time it's not. I seriously can't imagine being with anyone else. We just work really well. It's funny just how similar we can be with some things, but then total opposites with other things. It gets crazy in our home when I get all dramatic or emotional, and he gets stubborn or grumpy. We go through it all, happy or sad, funny or serious, excited or lazy, nerdy or smart. In the end, we are just two lovebirds happy to be together forever.

So yesterday to celebrate our anniversary TJ got me some adorable hot pink roses and a balloon (which I ABSOLUTELY love balloons for some weird reason lately). We went out to dinner at Red Lobster, saw the most recent Twilight movie Breaking Dawn, and got some delicious Farr's ice cream. It was such a fun night. I didn't take any pictures because I felt like I looked like a bum after a long day at work, but here is a picture of our treats. Can you guess which cup is mine and which is TJ's? 
(of course mine is the chocolate looking one with brownie bites and he loads his
 sherbet with fruit and gummy bears-so typical of us)  
I love my husband and am so glad we found each other when we did and stuck through everything together so far. Can't wait for many more years to come!

Happy Anniversary Mr. Stone :)

RIP Little MacBook

Sunday, November 20, 2011 TJ & Vanessa 0 Comments

So it's been a sad couple of weeks. My wonderful little white MacBook has died. At least I think it pretty much has. Here is what happens when I try to turn it on.

It's been struggling so this didn't really come as a surprise, especially because it has done so well for me over the past 5+ years. I think I finally just overloaded it with WAY too much information, photos, music, etc.

I have had to use either my iPhone (which is nice but not when I get tired of looking at a small screen) or ask my hubby to let me borrow his laptop between his homework sessions. It's just not the same. I think TJ actually feels bad and is starting to understand that I just need a Mac computer, so I'm working on talking him into getting me a new one, but we will have to see about that. (Too bad they're more pricey--but sooooo worth it!)

For now his PC will have to be enough to get the job done.

Summer Crafts

Saturday, November 05, 2011 TJ & Vanessa 5 Comments

This post takes me back a couple months to the summer. My mom got a new sewing machine that is so awesome! The coolest thing is that you can embroider and do numerous cute and fancy stitches. Well she had seen this idea of how to make burp cloths out of cloth diapers, so she ordered some diapers and waited for me to show up this past summer to make some with her. Here are some of my favorites that I attempted.





I ended up giving many of the baby girl ones to my dear friend Lisa because she recently had her baby girl just a couple weeks ago. Their last name is Bird, so of course I had to put "baby bird" on at least one of the burp cloths. I also had to document, what I thought were the cutest flower bows and socks ever. I went a little crazy at The Quilted Bear, but I just can't pass up the opportunity to buy little girl things when I get the chance.

Things I Have Totally Loved Lately

Saturday, November 05, 2011 TJ & Vanessa 2 Comments

1. I have finally discovered and made an account on Pinterest. Where has this been all my life?!? I am SO IN LOVE with Pinterest and may spend more time on that than any other website. My poor little iPhone gets run to the end of its battery life each night as I lay in bed on my Pinterest app. It is amazing and although I am still figuring it all out, I am totally in love.

2. Costa Vida and RedBox movie date nights with my hubby. Okay well I must admit this isn't something that I just totally love lately, it's kinda a regular date night plan for us. Call us boring, but there is just nothing like ending a long week on a Friday night at Costa Vida where we know we are going to love the food and cuddling up on the couch to watch a movie.

3. Third, is that I am still in the phase where I am pretending to be crafty. I am slowly starting a craft supply collection by buying stickers and paper on sale, or a cute box to organize the cards I soon will make (adorable find at TJMaxx). Now I have yet to really dive in but everyone has to start somewhere right?! This also connects back to my Pinterest love because I am collecting photos of card ideas like crazy so that I can try to make cute cards. Our table is being taken over by my crafts, but I just leave it out to remind me that I just have to start making something and hope for the best from there. I do have a ton of cute Christmas things I have gotten recently so hopefully I can make some pretty sweet cards soon. :)




4. Fall is suddenly something I love. Who knew? For whatever reason this year I have been all about fall colors, fall decorations (even though all I have is a cute wreath on my door), and fall weather has even been fine this time around.

5. Talking on the phone with a good friend. There is nothing like having a fun, great conversation with an awesome friend. There is just something about my friend Tasha that makes me happy just to talk to her. Of course it had been way too long since we last talked, so when we had time to catch up a little this week it was great. Yes, it made me miss her more and wish we lived closer, but it was great to talk to her!

6. Whoa this list is getting long, now that I've started...but lastly I love getting my hair done. I'm lucky to have a hubby who WANTS me to go spoil myself every now and then, like going to get my hair done. I was way overdue for a cut and color so I made an appointment this week and had fun feeling a little pampered.
