Forgot to Mention

I forgot to mention that once Tori and Abbie saw their room, they played for a total of about 2 minutes, then headed towards their door of their room where I was standing in the hall with a proud smile on my face and Tori says to me, "So Mommy, where's our surprise?" Smile vanished, and suddenly the days and days of work seemed unimportant. Leave it to the 5 year old. Shoulda given her an empty box, huh?

Wow Wednesdays!

Alright, so for this week's Wow Wednesday I've got a good one. Great song to go along with it as well.

This is where Brad works. I'm going to become a partner (consultant) just so that people who would like to get these amazing fitted shirts can. So let me explain a little more about this, not only so you can find out what the heck we're doing in Dallas :) but also how cool this company's product is.

So what we do is offer custom tailored shirts at half the price of other tailored shirts and similar prices as a nice retail shirt.

Basically we take measurements of the neck, shoulder, arm length, wrist, chest, waist, and hips, and design a shirt with your collar, cuff, style, and fabric choices that will fit you (or your man) perfectly. The prices are amazing. The first shirt you buy is $20.00 off (Woo Hoo!) and the prices start at $79.00 up to $129.00. All these fabrics are straight from Italy, in the greatest fabric offered anywhere. There are nearly 200 fabrics to choose from. You seriously can't get a nice shirt for $59.00 anywhere, let alone in an amazing fabric and one that is customized to fit you perfectly! Just amazing. I wish this was a girl's clothing store, but I guess if it was I'd spend all my money on it ;) (jk). Anyway, So, this is a great Father's Day present too. AND we offer gift cards. AND I can instruct you how to do the measurements if you don't live in TX which I think that includes, ALL OF YOU? So, you've got your Father's Day gift all done, you can say thank you in my comment section :)

P.S. Please don't feel obligated, you're only putting food on our table tomorrow :) jk, no really, don't feel obligated, just let me know if you are interested in getting your husband a really nice looking shirt, I can hook you up :)

One of our greatest creations

So besides our daughters :) I think this is the best thing we have ever created. Ironic that its for them :) Anyway, this is the girl's new room. Complete with a ballet bar and mirrors, bunkbed with slide, and adorable decorations. Its pretty much the best room there is.

New Pics!

I finally loaded some of the new pics on here, I need to take some of our actual apartment and outside of our door and such, but here's the view and some other pics of Dallas:

There is one picture of the beautiful freeway we took on our way here on our 22 hour trip, and the other two I took right outside our apartment. There is a shopping complex across the street :)

I guess I'll stay active...

Funny subject line, huh? I thought so, its my tag line for the day. So I was having a pretty down day yesterday, I would probably say partly hormones, partly being overwhelmed by the last year all coming together to now and just ready to have consistency, but not sure I'm in love with this consistency, etc. As I'm writing this I'm listening to myself ramble on and I realize, yeah, its probably hormones, but anyway... that's besides the point.

So we went to our ward today, I was a little nervous but prayed a lot before we went that I would like the ward and find some people that I could relate with and feel like I could become friends with. Brad and I woke up right before church started because he fell asleep without setting the alarm, and we went to bed at 2:00 AM, so we got there late, but we walked in after Sacrament right at the back of the chapel by the door that every walks out and somehow got stuck there greeting everyone as they walked out. It was kinda like my wedding reception all over again, except I didn't know anyone and I met like 20 people, and can only remember about 3 names... hmm, make that 2. Anyway, so we went to Sunday School and Relief Society and I met some really fun people that I think I can relate to and become friends with and I was really relieved cause I've been hopping wards for about 9 months, almost avoiding making friends cause we weren't going to stay long, and i was just worried that I wouldn't find any friends, but I think I'll be okay. So as we went home from church, I told Brad that I met some really nice girls and I said, "So I guess I'll stay active now." ehehe, just as a joke of course, but I thought it was pretty funny.
