Stress Relievers…

Shopping.
Working Out.
Cooking.
Fishing.

Everyone has different ways to relieve there stress. Mine is crafting. When I start doing something crafty my mind goes blank of all the chaos in the world, the stress will literally lift off my shoulders. But when Gable and I were living in our tiny condo I could not have it all out. Everything was locked away in our storage unit, just waiting for us to get a house that it could all be organized and used. Although I couldn’t have everything out at once, I would by things that were a great deal, or for the little project I was working on… well that has seemed to bight me in the butt. Last night I started going through everything I had, it was beyond overwhelming to start the “organizing” of everything. Wish me luck!

Thanks Momma!

There are serious benefits for me to work with my Momma.

*I never get home sick. (Daddy meets us for lunch once a week :-) )
*I always have a lunch time shopping partner.
*I have an amazing role model and mentor at work.
* I get random gifts like the one I received today! Thanks Momma, I love you more!!!!

{Decorating, Saving, and Pick Me}

Jeff and I have our place 100% remodeled. I am now itching to change the decorations up in our place. I have been searching online and looking in magazines trying to figure out how I want to update the condo. I have finally found what I (and Jeff) want.

COASTAL LIVING STYLE

Jeff and I live in Florida and seriously LOVE the Salt Life. So why not have what we love inside our home. This is the type of style I would like and hoping to achieve. I love how clean everything looks.

This is not what I want in my house! I can't stand the tacky rooms. I feel like these people just found things at a party store and put it in there house as decoration. (Sorry if this is what your rooms look like)

**********************************

Now a couple of posts ago I mentioned that I was saving for these beauties! But my mind has changed and I am saving for something else that I have been wanting FOREVER!

My very own Kayak!!!! My best friend has four of these, but she is not always around to go out. So I want my own!!! I need a total for EVERYTHING $600. Hoping to save for it by the end of August.
