If you haven't checked out PINTEREST, you NEED TO RIGHT NOW! It is such an awesome way to organize ideas. I am hooked!! You can check out my inspiration board for Clay and Shelby's "country chic" wedding here: WEDDING. Basically, you can create boards on your page and then 'pin' things to it that you find on other websites. SO AWESOME.

updates

Time Warner can't come until Sunday, so pictures will have to wait. We have had so many issues with our internet, and we think it's because of the crazy wiring from the people who lived here before us. There is literally a closet full of wires in Addy's room. Luckily we have an ipad with 3g or I'd go nuts. I am going to the dentist tomorrow for the first time in like three years. Yikes. That just got put on the back-burner during all of our moving. I am so close to finishing our master bedroom...found a cute shabby dresser for only 65 bucks on craigslist and I can't wait to go check it out tomorrow. I love Craigslist. Tried to buy a toddler bed today, but someone beat me to it. Blake needed one because he finally figured out how to get out of hus crib, bummer!!! I was going to keep him in it until he was like five. We ended up buying the cutest little sleigh toddler bed that totally matches the guest room bed, He is going to sleep in there since it is right next to our room. I don't want him wandering around upstairs all by himself just yet. I was not looking forward to bedtime tonight, but I told him to go get in his big boy bed and he did! He totally just went to sleep. It was amazing, but I have a feeling it won't last...just realized the ipad is down to 2% power....my sign to shut it off and go to bed!
