King Size...PLEASE!

No pretty pictures to post in this blog or anything fancy. Just wanted to vent and let everyone know that we are on the search for a king size bed.

We totally should have listened to our moms this summer and gotten one from the start...here we are 7 months later and already are needing to buy a king size. Why you may wonder? Her name is Bella and she is 25lbs of sweet love but she takes up the entire bed! So anyone getting ready to move into a new home...buy the king size now...not a queen...you will be happy in the long run!

We now are starting the search tonight for a new mattress and all new bedding. Hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to post new pictures of our bedroom with a nice big bed so I can sleep soundly again!

P.S. If anyone has any suggestions on where to find nice king duvet covers...let me know!

Enjoy your week!

2009 in Review

Happy 2010! 2009 was a good year to Colin and me. We had several exciting things happen that made us feel like we were finally home in SC.

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary in March (love you). While it was a big milestone, we unfortunately didn't do anything exciting. Our plans to visit the Biltmore Estate where we were married were cancelled due to bad weather, boo. Maybe this next year we will actually make it there!

Our next big adventure started in February of '09. The day after my 24th birthday we officially started our house hunt. That day we met with our realtor and were pre-approved for a loan. Then the hunt started. We saw probably 10-12 houses and a few houses more than once. We even were 2 days away from closing on another house (in the end, I'm so glad that deal fell through because I am totally in love with our house). I had to give up my dream kitchen due to only loving 1/2 of the house and hating the other 1/2. The journey finally came to an end 4 months later when we purchased our home in Liberty, SC. We couldn't be happier and can't wait to spend many more years here.

Our other big thing that happened in 2009 was when we adopted Bella, our sweet puppy dog. We are so excited to finally have a puppy, we have wanted one for a long time. I know I am bias because she is my own, but she is a freaking good dog. I never thought it would be as easy as it has been during her puppy months! Colin credits himself as being the "pack leader" and I think he might be right! Bella has brought tons of joy in our lives and the cats even like her!

The best part of 2009 was that I spent it with Colin (I love you). We can't wait to see what 2010 brings for us, our family and friends.

Happy New Year!
