Boy Does Time Fly...

When you're having fun and happily married!!! We've been married 4 months today! Wow, seems like just yesterday we were home for the Holidays anticipating the wedding!

So much has happened in these short 4 months...so much good stuff. I'm so thankful and feel so blessed that words can't even begin to describe it. I love you bay! Happy 4 Monthiversary! =)

Home Warranty...

If you don't have one, get one! These things are lifesavers!

Ken and I had to submit our first claim on Friday...after only three short weeks of being in the house. Since the weather has recently gotten warmer, we started running our air conditioning a little more this past week. Well, low and behold, the upstairs unit was not cooling properly! So we called the warranty company and submitted a claim to have someone come out and check it out. That was it...that simple! So for a service job that would have cost us a couple hundred dollars, we only paid $65 for our deductible and we're now calm, cool, and collected in our air conditioned home! =)

We're In JET Magazine!!!

There is a write-up about us in the April 28, 2008 issue of JET Magazine!!! We're on page 26 in the "Love and Happiness" section!!! Eeeek!

Go check it out!!! =)

So Disappointed!

So our new furniture was delivered on yesterday and I don't like the living room furniture. =(

It's TOTALLY not the color that is shown in the picture below! It's more of a mustard color...similar to the wall color in the picture in the previous post. I'm sooooo disappointed because I really like the style of the sofa, but the color and quality leave a lot to be desired. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if our walls weren't a pale yellow color. But since they are, it looks as if the sofa and wall are the same or very close to the same color. =(

Look What the Furniture Fairy Is Bringing Us...

Ken and I are soooo excited about getting a couple pieces of new furniture!! We didn't think we'd be able to get any new furnishings for the house for a minute, but luckily something came through for us and BAM, new furniture! It's being delivered tomorrow morning! Yay! =)

We got the sofa and ottoman in this picture for the living room...



And this sofa is for Ken's "Man Room" a.k.a. our den, lol...

My Newfound Passion...

It seems I've discovered a new passion....cooking!!! I absolutely L.O.V.E. cooking in my new house for my new hubby! So to fuel that new passion, I made two very delish breakfast meals this weekend. Saturday morning I made pancakes, bacon, and eggs...and this morning I made chicken and waffles!!! I'm so proud of the success I'm having in the kitchen and even more than that, I'm sooooo happy about pleasing my wonderful husband!

Here's how my my two meals turned out...

Pancakes, bacon, and eggs

Date Night Is Back!

After moving to TN, the hubby and I decided that we would start having a "Date Night" once a week where we would set time aside to spend some quality time together. Usually date night consisted of dinner and possibly a movie. Well, as the wedding day got closer and closer and our lives began to get crazier and crazier, our date nights slowly got pushed to the back burner. Then after the wedding, we replaced one stressful situation with another with buying and moving into our house. So needless to say, date nights eventually become a distant memory.

Well, last night, all that changed and I brought date night back! Since moving into the house and buying furniture has left us being more conservative with our money for right now, I decided that we'd have a nice, romantic date night right in the comfort of our own new home. So I tried out a new Italian dinner recipe and served up a cozy, candlelit dinner for two. Dinner was a big hit and my "Domestic Diva" points are continuing to add up! Yesss! =)
