Just a thought...

There is nothing better than seeing a horrible picture of your husband's ex on Facebook. Especially if she did nothing but cause problems for you two in the beginning.

My night just got slightly better.
Mean? Yes.

The Rock Revivals

This weekend was awesome.

Tyler's mom wanted Greenleigh and Skyler to spend the night Friday, so Tyler and I got to have a date night on Friday. It consisted of calling in a pizza and spending the night on the couch watching The Rum Diary. I usually cook dinner, so the pizza was a nice switch-up. The Rum Diary was weird- good, but weird. I think I would've liked it better if I hadn't seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas before I watched it, because the entire movie just reminded me of how much I don't understand that type of humor. Tyler, on the other hand, loved it. Go figure.

Saturday we got up and ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel- I love their apple butter and biscuits- and then headed to the mall in search of an outfit for an exciting event coming up for me. Hear me, ladies. My husband HATES shopping. Like, everything about it. He doesn't like to be overwhelmed with lots of different decisions at once, he despises spending money, and he especially hates shopping with ME because I'm so indecisive. We haven't spent much quality time together at the mall in the four and a half years we've been together.

We spent five hours in seach of an outfit. Five. Tyler helped me out in almost every store, throwing me some ideas and weighing in his opinion. It was actually really fun to have him interested in something for me, and he was such such SUCH a good sport.

On our way out, I talked him into "just swinging in" to Buckle. (I really don't know why I do that to myself every time I walk by, but I just can't stay away.) A chick named Courtney helped me "just try on" some jeans.

Courtney handed me a pair of Rock Revival jeans in my size, and I tried to ignore the price tag as I slipped them on. And as soon as I got them buttoned, I was in love. They felt like velvet, and they might as well have been made for my body.

Girls, help me out. There is just something about finding a pair of jeans that fit you like a glove. The way they feel against your thighs, the way they curve with your hips... It does WONDERS for your morale and self-confidence. I looked at the jeans in the mirror and instantly began salivating.

I showed them off to Tyler, who admitted they were awesome, but he had a minor stroke when he saw the price. Like I said, Tyler hates spending money, and he especially hates spending it on clothes. I said my goodbyes to the jeans from heaven and we walked out and headed toward the car.

We made it all the way into the department store before he groaned and turned me around... and went back to Buckle to get them.
(This. Never. Happens.)

Guess who is excited about Casual Tuesday tomorrow?! This Girl. :)

On our way to Kennesaw for a day-date :)

Peaks and Pits

This week has been an absolute roller coaster. I have never been so elated in my life only to turn around the next day and be more devastated than I ever dreamed I could be. On the positive side of things, I am kicking butt at work. I love my job a lot more than I expected to. I've been there for a month, and I have made my way onto the official payroll (I was doing independent contracting) and I now have my own column. This week's column is based off the political post from last week, it's just a very watered down version of it. Chatsworth isn't ready to hear my full-blown opinions yet. :) I am so blessed to have this opportunity, and I don't take it for granted!

I also have some really REALLY exciting news that I'm busting to tell, but can't yet. And before you ask- no, no one's pregnant. Sorry to disappoint. <3

The low point of this week came to me via text message yesterday at about 1:00. I don't want to elaborate on anything more yet, but I have an enormous prayer request for someone that's one of the most important people in my life, who got some terrifying news yesterday. I'm still shell-shocked and in denial... Keep my family/friends in your prayers this week, please. Say special prayers for us tomorrow afternoon.

I also need to take some time in this post to thank the people who are so amazing in my life- those of you who read these posts and then text me, and those of you who follow on Blogger. Just having all of you in my life is such a tremendous blessing. The friend with a late night reassuring text message, or the friend at the table doing a jigsaw puzzle and drinking coffee because we just don't want to talk about it, or the friend that surprised me with an unexpected call after what was a busy day... you guys rock. You have no idea how awesome it is to have such beautiful people around me.

I'm off to catch up on "New Girl". She never lets me down. :)

Love <3

"Crush": Crush or Crushed?

It's taken Tyler and me a LONG time to find a church we are both not only comfortable in, but excited about. I'm talking, like, years. Since we've been together- which going on four and a half years now. I'm SO excited to tell you that we have finally found a church that we actually look forward to with a pastor we can relate to. It's a non-denominational church, and we love everything about it.

Our first visit was on the first sermon of a marriage series titled "Crush". We were interested to see what it was all about and, once we heard the first marriage, excited to hear what else Jason had to say, because our marriage has overcome MOUNTAINS (in the plural) in the past 12 months.

The series, which ended this morning, has been incredible, and I wanted to share it with you guys. Whether you're married, engaged, whatever, this is definitely worth listening to. This is the first part of the series, titled "Crush or Crushed". It's lengthy, but when you get time to curl up on the couch, give it a listen.
