Something about a clean bed...

What is it about a fresh set of sheets and a made bed that can totally turn my mood from bleh to YEAH! :) {rhyme intended ha}

Seriously... there is just something as simple as that that can clear my mind and soul. 
Why don't I make more of an effort to make this happen daily!? 

oh and here is how it looked while I was cleaning up our room... just staying honest ;) 


do you make a habit of making your bed everyday?? 

I sure wish I did... this is one thing I HOPE I can teach Raleigh Grace to do at a young ago so when she is my age it will just be a habit... :)

Top 2 Tuesday... Wish List



Since I first bought my bed I have been dreaming of having blue walls and a nice white duvet.  Well I now have the blue walls and to finish it off I now need a white duvet cover for the down comforter that we have been using (without a cover- for shame, for shame!)

1)I have been wanting something simple yet elegant and for awhile now I have been eying some things at the one and only Pottery Barn.  Lots of their things are beautiful but some are a little too prissy for the hub's liking... that is why this one is the PERFECT one!! It is simple yet classy, and even MORE classy when with their white on whimonograming it will showcase a beautiful APK! :) Then throw that light blue blanket on it and the matching monogrammed shams and wha-lah! (all can be purchased at www.PotteryBarn.com for those of you reading interested... gift cards work too ;) )

 this next image is just for you to see the blue walls and the monogram... the comforter I want does NOT have these lines on them, however I do still like them (maybe pick them 2nd if I couldn't have the plain one I wanted.)

2) This was a hard choice... there are many things that I could go on and on with for our room (lamps, sheets, etc) but I am going to move on.  
Something that I have wanted for a very long time but honestly have not had the time or money to invest is a nice camera.  Before K and I start growing our family I would love to master this baby or one similar... however, right now its not very realistic...The Cannon Rebel! I hear its a good one for starters??


sooooo...
for something MORE realistic...

3)I would absolutely LOVE a pampering... day at the spa complete with facial, manicure, pedicure, and most importantly a MASSAGE!!! Thanks to my 20, seven year old's, I think my body could really use this! :)

(I would really LOVE a couples massage but K doesn't like people touching him so he has already told me no. :( BUT K, if you would realllly love to surprise me ... this would be GREAT!! ;) heheh)

Not only is my husband a TOTAL SWEETHEART, apparently he is FAMOUS too!

First of all, I just wanted to update you all and let you know my reactions to our "new" bedroom... well it went a little something like this:

K, "hey babe... I have a surprise for you!"
Me, "really!? WHAT!?"
K, "well go to the bedroom"
Me, "okaaaay... I'm nervous!"  haha
.....
.....
.....
Me, "oh my WORD! its BLUE! I'm really nervous now! Its really blue, its really blue..." {in an excited, yet nervous tone}

And thats about it. ha

I was so happy that he had done such a sweet gesture for me and I know that he spent a TON of time on it. I hate painting because I honestly just don't have the patience for it.  K on the other hand loves doing things for me and loves doing projects like this one.  I was totally shocked and a little overwhelmed with the color because I wasn't expecting it.  Now, several days later, I am really starting to like the color and get used to it.  Now, I am dying to purchase some new furniture to match our bed and do a better job decorating.  I am a little embarrassed of the shape our room was in when K posted pics but I will just have to get over that ha.  I think some new lamps with bright white shades, a new dresser that matches our bed, and a few more touches and I think I will be in love with it :) So ... MAAAANNNNY thanks to my wonderful hubby for doing so much hard work while I was gone and always going out of his way to make me feel so very loved by him!! K, you are the best hubby a woman could ever ask for and I am so blessed to call you MINE! :) 

Now, on top of him being a sweetheart, apparently my hubby is also famous!
Yesterday, K had the day off so he decided that he would come have lunch with me at school.  I teach 2nd grade and they have been asking when they were going to meet him (because I am always talking about him and using his name in sentences on the board and such) so when I announced that he would be coming for the lunch the kids were VERY excited! They began asking if he was going to eat with them in my room, and if they could eat in the room too, or if he would be in the lunch room and would he sit at their table, etc. etc... I had to tell them over and over that no, he would be eating lunch with ME! (I even had one little girl ask me if she could come to the teachers lounge with us to eat ha!)  So when lunch was over K came with me to pick my kids up from the cafeteria and they were all jumpy and giddy and asking him a millllion questions! It was quite cute if I must say so myself! At some point one of my girls asked him for his autograph and all the other children jumped on the bandwagon to want one as well.  I told them that they had to be on their best behavior and we would see about it.  We came back to my room and I let them all introduce themselves- telling K their name and favorite hobby... the kids were excited, and some embarrased and some showing off... hobbies were everything from dancing, to talking in the hallways, to boyscouts to video games, to eating candy.  K then introduced himself and as he was saying his "favorite hobbies" the kids would all scream "OH ME TOO!!!" haha it was so adorable!! Well then it was time for me to take them to their "specials" (art, music, p.e.) and K decided to write his autograph on 20 different sheets of paper for the kids.  They came back to the room, disappointed to see that K was gone. :(  Before dismissal I told them that I had to give them something... they asked what and I told them that K had writen an autograph for each one of them... they SCREAMED with excitement.  I couldn't help but laugh out loud and I said to them, "you guys act like he if FAMOUS or something!!!" to which they all replied at the same time, "HE IS!!!!!!!!!" 

MADE. MY. DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah

(not to mention after school I kept getting other teachers coming up to me saying, "I heard about your famous husband!" or "I heard about the autographs!" haha EVERYONE was laughing and it goes without saying that K was definitely the talk of the school yesterday :)

Why husbands shouldn't be left alone...

Hi everyone!!! Surprise! It's not Allie!  Unfortunately, Allie has been out of town for the past nine days, leaving behind her lonely husband, KJ!  How ever could she do that???  Anyway, I (KJ) have decided to help pass the time, I would do any and every project I could get myself into.  Monday night I changed the brakes and rotor on her car...that didn't take up enough time.  So later that night I sat around thinking what I could do for her.  Allie told me once that she wanted her bedroom painted a light blue, but after she painted the dining room and living room, she swore off painting all together.  So that's right, I have painted the bedroom and put up some crown moulding as well.  Hopefully I chose the right shade of blue.  Anyway, she doesn't know this what I've been up to.  I claimed to be having video game nights with the guys to buy some time off the phone to work on it.  (Sorry for the lil' lies babe)  So, all of you blog reading faithful are the first to know/see Allie's surprise!!!  Hope you like it!  (actually, hope she likes it, too)
Before



After
 That's all for now!  Now its off to pick her from the airport!!! Y'all take care! ~KJ
