I love my hubby!

Ok, no pics this time, sorry.  I just have to say I LOVE my Prince Charming!  Seriously! I'm not going to get into everything, or give every reason, (cause, really, do you care?!)  I just want to say that he completely & totally surprised (ok, SHOCKED is more like it) me today.  He was at work, supposedly at a meeting.  He called to ask if I wanted him to bring me lunch, he was on his way home.  Nope, I'm good, but thanks for thinking of me & asking.  He walked in a few minutes later, came on upstairs (where I was just finishing the Princess's hair) & then presented me with... an iPod Touch!!!  Oh, & a pink case for it!!!

I couldn't (& still can't if you want me to be completely honest) believe it!!  See, isn't he the best?!  

Ok, off to make sure it's being charged, this is going to be SO much fun!!!  I can't wait to play!  

**If you don't hear from me for a few days, at least you'll know I'm havin fun with my new toy!**

Tickets to see the Globetrotters: $78
Souvenirs for the boys: $70
Dinner & snacks: $50.25
Night out with the family: Priceless

Prince Charming & I surprised the boys with tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters game last night. The 2 older boys found out what we were doing, but we all kept it a surprise from Bubby. I won't get into the problems we had before we got in the doors, but once we got in, we had a BLAST!

Waiting for the game to start...

C-Man (ever so popular) spotted a group of friends down on the floor, so he & Bubs headed down to hang out. They ended up staying there the entire game, they had FANTASTIC seats! I went back & forth between our good seats & down on the floor checking on them (ok, & getting better pics lol). It was definitely a long night for the Princess, but it was SO worth it. I'm not sure if the boys had more fun watching the game, or getting the autographs after of all the players. Not that it matters, the important thing is we went as a family & made some wonderful memories.

Here are just a few of the pics I snapped last night. Unfortunately, I didn't get many of Bonez, he took off with Dad to get autographs & well, let's just say, NOW Prince Charming knows how to take pics on HIS phone. Grrrr

C-Man getting his new shoe signed...

Bubby getting Big Easy to sign his new shoe...

Bonez & Big Easy...

The players were GREAT, very talkative & super fun with the kids. Here's my favorite pic of the entire night, this guy was a riot!

I love that we were able to take advantage of them being here in town & enjoy a great family night together.

I love my wedding ring. Ok, you're probably wondering why the heck I'm posting about something as silly as a ring right? Well let me tell you why I'm choosing that "love" today.

I had to take my ring off when I was pregnant with the Princess (nothing unusual) BUT right after I had her, I decided I wanted to wear it again. Now, in my mind, I KNEW my hands were still swollen. Did that stop me from forcing it on? NOPE! Long story short, it was cutting off circulation & I tried everything I could possibly think of (& google) to get it off. It would NOT budge. I didn't have any other choice, I called Prince Charming at work in tears & told him it was stuck. We then (ok, after he got done laughing at me) decided I needed to go have it cut off. I went to a jeweler right by my house & had them cut it off. I cried & was so embarrassed, they were great about it & told me it happens all the time (think they were just trying to make me feel better?!). Anyway, we had every intention of getting my ring fixed, but never had the $ to spend on it. It has sat in my curio cabinet in it's safe spot for almost 3 years now.

When Prince Charming told me what he planned on getting me for V day, he said since there had been a change of plans, I could decide what it was I got. I told him I wanted my ring fixed. We went down that day to the same place he bought it & dropped it off. It was going to cost more than we originally thought, but it would so be worth it.

Well, after having to go another week without my beautiful (but VERY dirty) ring, we got to go pick it up today. Can I tell you how excited I am? I have always loved my ring, (there is a story behind it, but I'll save that for another day) but today, I think I fell in love with it all over again! I can't stop looking at it, it's so pretty & so sparkley. Even the Princess said when I walked in, "Cool ring Mommy", & Bubby came to take a look & said "Wow, it's shiny". Too cute!



Anyway, I'm lovin my ring & all that it stands for. I told Prince Charming today that we're finally "married again". He laughed, pointed at his hand & said "well, 1/2 way anyway". We promptly "found" his ring when we got home & his is now right where it should be, on his hand! We really are married now! LOL (Ok, we were before, but now we LOOK married)!

I "bit the bullet" today.  I talked to Stacy, the lady that cuts my hair a few days ago & told her that I was ready to do something drastic.  She asked what I had in mind & I told her "fun & funky, but low maintenance".  Other than that, it was up to her to come up with something.  Yes, I completely trust her!

So, without further ado...

Before shots...

And the new do...

I LOVE it!  Super fun & easy, but nothing too crazy.

***I know these aren't the best pics, I had Bonez, in his mono, sleep-state, take these***

Yesterday, Prince Charming & I headed out & found ourselves at a furniture store. We went out for lunch on Valentine's day & decided to go look around at a furniture store that was going out of business. We fell in love with a set we wanted for our living room. The "sale" was ending yesterday, so we decided we needed to make a decision. He picked me up & off we went. Even though we both loved the set we had seen, we felt like we should look around, just to make sure that was THE set for us. As we were walking around, we both kept going back to "THE" set at the other place. We walked to the back of the showroom & as I was looking at a set, he looks over & says "There it is, that's our set". HOLY COW, he was right, it was right next to us. We looked at the price & ya know something, it was cheaper here than at the original place we saw it where it was supposedly on sale! Let's just say that we ended up getting the couch, loveseat, chair, table, floor lamp & table lamp for less (LOTS less) than what we would have paid for just the couch, loveseat & chair! Not only that, but we got to load it up & take it home right then & there! We spent the remainder of the day cleaning & moving stuff around to give our new treasures a home.


Because the "toy room" is part of the living room, we got creative so it would all fit.
Ya know something, we LOVE it! I love looking downstairs & seeing my room look so nice & inviting. In fact, it's so inviting, I spent almost all day today curled up on the couch with my laptop, phone, & book!
Anyway, I love my new furniture & I love my hubby! OH, what makes this even cooler & the reason I'm super excited... we've been married going on 14 years & this is only the 2nd time we've ever bought furniture. The first was when we moved into this house almost 2 years ago, we bought a couch & loveseat for the family room. Everything else in our house has been given to us. Now, don't get me wrong, we have been extremely blessed & I'm NOT complaining, It was just so nice to go out & find something we both loved & buy it. We are slowly making our house a home that really fits "us".

I know some of you will probably look at this & wonder why in the world we would go with something not very formal in a formal living room. Well, we are NOT formal people, we are about as casual as they come. We wanted something nice, but something that was "us", something that would hold up to the kids, but also look nice in the room.

Anyway, I'm super excited & I LOVE it. Oh, mom, this last pic is for you, I wanted you to see the pillows I got, what do you think?
