Grown ups???

You know you're a grown-up when....

How do you know when you have reached that stage in life, where you're like, oh crap, you mean I'm not a kid anymore, I have to make big-girl decisions? Well, I can tell you it did not come when I graduated from college, taught kindergarten, raised a prissy little girl (who was not my own), or even when I got married. Nope. The moment I finally realized that I was a grown-up was on Black Friday. I know, strange right?!? So it goes like this--Mark and I have been in the house-hunting process for a while now and we finally found us the perfect home! Eeeeeek! So exciting. Anyway, this home needed appliances, so when is the best time to buy those things? Black Friday...duh! So, keep in mind we didn't know for sure whether or not we were getting the house. Buttttt my super frugal husband couldn't pass up these appliance deals (I am sure it had nothing to do with me...ahem........begging and nagging him to go ahead and do it) ! Who was I to argue? So, we scope out the best deals, we even went to the store to make sure the particular ones we picked out were the ones we wanted. We stood in line at 8 pm and rushed in with a crowd of people trying to make our way to the appliance section. On a side note-- people wanting tvs on black Friday are crazyyyyy!! Anyway, we somehow managed to stumble upon a cash register in the very back of the store with no one around! Ahhhh. Praise the Lord is all I could say. My husband is not the most patient when it comes to spending money, so I was soooo thankful there was not the added stress of a mob of people. We had our little sales paper and we began pointing out everything we wanted. So fun! Needless to say, we got all our kitchen appliances annnnnd a washer and dryer in like 10 minutes. Wow. Wow. Wow. Quite possibly the largest purchase we have everrrrrr made in one setting. "wayyyyy to go boo" was my chant! Ahhhh, so we made our way to a refrigerator aisle where no one was around and we took a deep breathe and high-fived each other! It was in that moment that I realized I was a grown-up (minus the childish high-five)! I mean, I was genuinely excited! I don't know how I got from being excited about scoring deals on clothes, boots, and makeup to being just as, if not more excited about refrigerators and stoves. I never dreamed this day would come, but I'm okay with it!

I guess the next stage in our lives is having four little dark-headed babies;) yep! 

Does this thing still work?!

Helllloooo again! This blog is slowly, but surely getting a makeover. I mean, I always thought I was technologically savvy, but blogging has humbled me. It has taken me forever to figure out how to design my own stuff, add links, comment, etc. geeeez! So those few that follow, bear with me!
