How cool is this?

Yesterday I was browsing through one of my favorite little daily treasures, and came across this.

As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted one! So many ideas came to mind of what I would do with a giant letter in my loft and all the places you could put it to make it really stand out. If you want one for your self you can go here.

I think I might surprise Mr. Man with one of these in the near furture. What do you think he would say? hehe

wedding bells?

HAHA. Noooo not me. You would have to talk to Mr. Man about that one. But, I came across this picture the other day when I was just browsing and it made me think about my parents.

You see I was not alive when my parents got married 24 years ago. In a traditional family, I shouldn't have been, but you see my parents are not as traditional as you think. Both my brother and sister WERE at their wedding and JT and I have always made comments as to why they didn't just wait for us too. "But you could have just waited for us, you had us all in a row." "Yeah really, it wouldn't have taken that long to wait, and then we could have been in the pictures too!" (It was really about NOT being in the pictures). My parents always had the same answer, "maybe we will have a re-commitment ceremony when we hit 25." I would like to point out that in December my parents will hit that BIG 2-5.

My mom always said that if she were to get married again to my dad that it would have to be barefoot on a beach, preferrably in Hawaii. With that being said I started looking for inspiration photos for my parents big day, now everyone just has to talk them into it so JT and I can be in my parents wedding photos :)

I'll keep you updated if this so called ceremony is going to take place or not :)

What do these 2 things have in common?

well nothing really. Except that I happen to LOVE both of them dearly. Well obviously one more than the other as she is sooo much like me and that smile of hers makes my heart melt everytime she flashes it. But on a weird day like today I would love nothing more than to take little Miss PK to Chipotle and enjoy 3 chicken tacos with pico, lettuce, sour cream, cheese and a side of guac today, unfortunately that will not be happening.

Yesterday I took a half day at work because they are remodeling our lofts by adding in an extra window (yippeee! except it wasn't) and the property manager told Brandon and I we should probably be there for the cutting of the bricks from the loft above ours. They said there might be a little bit of water and wanted to make sure we could have everything moved out of the way. Well 'a little bit' was an understatement. There was so much water coming down it would have flooded our living room had they not been there with buckets, and it wasn't just water, it was muddy concrete water. Our wall now looks like a murder scene with red clay muddy water dripping down it, FABULOUS.

But the point of me not getting chipotle and the reason for this post is this, during the process of all of this I received a phone call from a nice lady at the Bank of America fraud department letting me know that I had some unusual activity on my card. I got online and checked my account and sure enough I was missing $800 dollars! To some people that might not be alot of money but to Brandon and I that is my car payment and my portion of rent due this week. I now have a cancelled debit card and have to figure out how to make all these payments ontime. Hence why I WILL NOT be getting chipotle as I do not have cash and no debit card to use. I will not have another debit card for 7-10 days (this should get interesting) and had to pull out that credit card that I am so desperately trying not to use anymore as I have a balance I would like to get rid of, to get gas today until I can get to the bank to get cash out of my savings. (THANK the LORD I know how to save). All in all this is a lesson learned to not use my debit card at the gas pump because apparently there are people out there who sit at gas stations with a lap top and place a card reader inside the card swipe at the pump and just download all of your info and your pin number after you swipe to get gas. So THANK YOU whoever you are for now making me go in to pay for my gas and cause an extra amount of time that was not necessary. And THANK YOU to whoever lives in San Bernadino who has my debit card information and decided to have a day at the liqour store, mexican resturant, weinersnitzels, gas station and convience store on me. I hope both of you have enjoyed your little excursion and karma comes back to bite you.

I am now off to pay my car payment and might just scrounge for some cash and treat myself to a little chipotle after all of this, and then when I am off of work I will go scoop up my precious bundle of joy that I LOVE so dearly and take her home. Maybe I will end up with what I wanted today!

But chances are Peyton and I will be enjoying velveeta shells and cheese on our couch this evening watching the olympics while staring at the murder scene next to us.

Just a day in the life

7 months

Peyton turned 7 months yesterday! I don't know what it is about that month but it's still mind boggling that she is that old already. She is really enjoying trying all these different foods (sweet potatos, green beans and pears) and sitting in her high chair now. Before you know it she'll be turning a year old! And then she'll be going to school and driving! Okay I have alittle bit of time before that but it's all happening VERY fast!

Time, please slow down.

Brandon's BIG day.

A BIG Happy Birthday to my main man :)

Brandon's birthday also happened to fall on Superbowl Sunday this year and my sister was in town from Australia with her boyfriend Keith. It was a pretty eventful day to say the least. I kept asking him what he wanted to do and my answer was a typical Brandon answer "whatever, I don't care." So I took whatever as you get a dinosaur birthday cake and I'm going to make you wear a birthday hat and a light up button. :) Next time you might want to tell me what you want to do for you birthday Mr. Man.

I hope everyone had a great day with the ones they love, I know I did!

Mom's BIG day

My mom's birthday was last week and we all went out to dinner to celebrate! We took her to Miyabi's Japanese Steakhouse for some hibachi, YUMMMMM. And again Peyton was so mesmorized by the fire :) Here's a few photos from the night, enjoy!
