The stinkin' cutest wreath ever!

I'm so proud of this wreath I could cry! Saw it online somewhere and I just had to make it. Took me a while to get around to it, but I finally did. It is made from pages ripped from an old book, lots and lots of hot glue, and a styrofoam wreath. That's it. Took about 2 hours but I love it!!! Combines stuff I love: books and old things! I "heart" it :)

Florida, baby!

I'm finally getting around to updating my blog. I was super lucky and able to go to Daytona Beach, Florida on a trip with Steve. The first morning there as I walked on the beach RIGHT OUTSIDE our room, I seriously sent a text to Steve that said, "I totally feel guilty for even being here!" I mean, seriously, how lucky am I? We stayed at a fab hotel right on the beach with ocean views and fancy dinners every night and..everything is paid for! That's the cool part!! So here are some photos from the vacay. Yep, this above picture was the view down the beach from our hotel. Isn't it fabulous!! Plus we got to go on a boat ride in a swamp and found a few gators. Let's just say that a very loud "Holy sheep!" was yelled by me when one of these acted like it was going to climb up on the boat and eat me. My mormon version of a certain expression definitely brought laughs to Steve's peeps from work. But, you know, whatev! We also got to go to Downtown Disney..Oh, and did I mention it was 85-90 degrees! Sigh...I told Steve I wouldn't come back unless it was the same temp here, but he didn't listen to me and now I'm here and he left today for New Zealand. What up with that?? Of course on a side note my diet went totally out the window and I gained 3.5 lbs of the 4 lbs I had lost back. What can I do? I had possibly the best meal of my life and I couldn't stop eating!! Crab (the messy part done for you) with butter for dipping, fab garlic mashed potatoes, hush puppies (if you haven't had these you are so missing out) and Key Lime Pie for dessert. Oh my gosh...I thought I'd died...no worries though, back on the diet and back to 2.5 lbs lost. (Can't wait to reach my goal of 5 lbs so I can eat and gain it all back again...) I think my hubby is seriously adorable and we had the best time...thank heavens for G & G Clement and Gary and Noel who watched the kids..They had the best time and so not excited to see us, but hey, if we gotta face reality, then they've gotta too!
