Shopping 2 the Max

Hmmm, I figured it was time for someone to blog. I think it's my turn. Have any of you guys been to Ikea? It is like the most exciting store I've ever been in. Especially now that I'm in "move into a real house"/"be domestic" mode. They have everything you could possibly want and more. And it's super cheap. So, my uncle Walter and I went today after a fabulous brunch with British Jason, Darren, and a new friend Chris at Sun in my Belly. We spent hours in Ikea gawking at the cool stuff they have AND at the interesting people in there. If someone wanted to kill a large amount of people, they should bomb Ikea on a Saturday or Sunday. Well, that was morbid. Anyway. the coolest part is that they have all these little helpful things that you reallly really needed, but didn't remember you needed til you saw them. And, did I mention...they are cheap. So, you're wandering around and you keep picking up little $1.50 or $2.00 items that you "have really been needing" and my grand total at check out was $15.00!! I mean, I had a gift card for more than that and everything. Well, I was excited because I got Caleb some magnets because he's been taping things to his frig and we all know that's not the correct way to do things. And I got some things that I forgot I needed like a pretty dish scrubber and a TV tray type thing for when I eat on the couch. :) I even got some adorable notecards that are pink chickens!! How jealous are you? You know, it's the simple things in life.

house update

Too bad so sad. We walked from the contract. The sellers amended the contract and Alison and Aaron aren't retards and didn't agree to their terms. They said if the house didn't appraise we would still have to pay full price for the house, i.e, bring extra money to closing. Wait...what? Who would agree to that? They're essentially saying they don't think the house is going to appraise.

Oh wells. We'll just keep on house hunting.

OMG. Our dog is SO FREAKING UNBELIEVABLY CUTE.

Could it be true??? Are we buying a house? That's so OFFICIAL SON. We gotta do WORK. (Whenever I say that it reminds me of my favorite show Rob and Big)



My heart belongs to this man.



Don't I look natural in the kitchen?

When I chirp shawty chirps back...

That title has absolutely nothing to do with anything but I heard that line in one of my many favorite rap songs today while I was working out at 2 in the afternoon because we had a SNOOOOOW DAAAAY!!!! Hells yeah. Aaron's school was canceled today as well so we've had fun doing nothing today except working out and playing with Bella. I guess I have a couple new things to report. A couple weeks ago Aaron and I had a photo shoot with our new friend Amy, an aspiring photographer who wanted to get some good shots of a hot young engaged couple. So, OF COURSE, she chose us. Word. The picture of Aaron and I in front of the mural is one of the 800 she took in Uptown Charlotte, if you click on the picture it'll get bigger...it's magic! I was a little embarrassed walking around having a papperazzi follow us, but I just used it as a good learning experience for when I become famous. Watch out America's Next Top Model!! Alright, moving onward today it snowed and Bella had her first snow experience. She didn't really care about it. She sniffed around a little bit, but then it was business as usual with a pee and a poop. Enjoy the pictras.



****UPDATE****AARON AND ALISON JUST MADE AN OFFER ON A HOUSE!!! STAY TUNED BLOG WORLD.
