PRANK WARS

As you may have read earlier in my posts, our lovely neighbors in Apt. 7 have been trying their best to prank us. Actually, it took a turn for the "nice" side and they surprised us with a thoughtful bottle of Sparkling Grape juice and a cute note-card that said "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY" (they did that on Sep. 5th, our 1 month anniversary, which shows how long its been since I blogged last! lol)
Then Britt left them a bag of Anniversary Blend Coffee from Starbucks....it was just coincidence that both were "Anniversary" gifts :)   .....and by leaving each other stuff, I mean we set it down at the door, knock, and run! :) Its more fun that way!
Annnyyyywwway.....we ended up staying over at Micah and Zoe's til about 5am the other night, and just when Britt and I thought they would be too tired to do any sort of prank, we woke up the next morning to find our entire door covered in over 250 post-it notes!! :) It stayed up for about 3 days because I was too lazy to take them down....but needless to say, our door is back to normal.....and we have something lined up that is WAY better! :) hehe




On a side note...Britt and I, along with a few other friends, are headed to New Mexico this Thursday-Saturday! Our worship team is playing at a Women's Conference there, and it's gonna be a blast! I seriously can't wait....I'll be sure to post tons of pictures too! (Not that anyone really reads or comments on my blogs anymore, but at least I'll have the memories of it!! lol)

Last thing I wanted to mention how sweet my husband is...I've been talking about making a CD of all these artists' songs that I've been listening to on YouTube, and he went and bought their music on iTunes and totally made a mixed CD of all the songs I love! Such a wonderful surprise! :) Love that boy!

Life is great! Praise the Lord for great friends and a wonderful hubby! :)

Garage Sales & Bowling Alleys


This past Saturday I went garage saleing in a final attempt to find night tables for our bedroom.....)WHY ARE THERE NO REASONABLY PRICED NIGHTSTANDS ANYWHERE?) We've literally been searching every Ross, Big Lots, Ikea, Target, Walmart, etc.... and trying to find one with a little drawer on it for under $30 is nearly impossible! Anyway, I didn't have any luck, but I WAS able to score some sweet deals! Check out the top part of the collage for my finds!

1) Pop 5 (a Cranium game that I've never played, but it had all the pieces and was never used!) Price: $1.50
2) An adorable skirt, Price: $1.50
3) A HUGE box of tea lights (over 100 of those things!...I use 'em all the time!) Price: $1.00
For a total of: $4.00  (I just Googled the Pop 5 game and its about $40.00!)


Saturday night we were able to go bowling with Zoe & Micah and then grab some ice-cream at Braum's afterwards....'twas delightful! I think my score was 35...yikes!

Randoms: In the past few days the weather has gone from 114 degress to 85 almost overnight! I don't know how it changed so quickly, but I'm seriously lovin it! AAANNDD:

Happy One Month Marriage Anniversary!! Best decision of my life! :)

Let's Catch Up! :)

Hi friends! Its been so long since I've had time to post anything! Let's recap! In the past month I:
GOT HITCHED!
WENT TO JAMAICA!
UPDATED OUR APARTMENT (another blog will be done just for those!)
WENT TO A REAL LIVE TEXAS RODEO
LEARNED HOW TO PLAY THE BASS FROM BRITT (just the basics)
AND STARTED BACK TO SCHOOL!



It's been a whirlwind of a month, and it's only getting better! Tonight we have band practice for our team that's going to New Mexico to lead worship at a Women's Conference. Then next weekend Britt and I are officially becoming members of The Village Church which we've been attending for about a year now, and is the church we just got married at. The following weekend is when we'll actually head out to New Mexico, and I'm SO excited. It's just so fun being married and being able to stay in the same room together when we go smoewhere! We'll be traveling with some of our close friends and I absolutely cannot wait to explore the beautifulness that is New Mexico! (Shout out to Meredith and Nathan Jones!) I'll be sure to post tons of pictures for those of you who have yet to explore the lovely state of NM :)

Also! Our apartment got a little bit friendlier when our newlywed friends moved in downstairs! Zoe and I met in class last semester and became buds....now she and Micah (her hubby) live in my apartment complex just a few doors down and we've been able to hang out with them and laugh alot! :) The other day someone left some random "gifts" by our door and I SWEAR its Zoe and Micah  but they deny it....either way, the prank wars has already begun and I'm pretty sure Britt and I are gonna be the winners. Here's what they left (as you can see...its not a big deal, but you gotta start somewhere! lol)

Have you ever done any pranks? I need some good ideas!! ;)
