Cleaning Up

I decided to clean up my SD card since we will be going on our honeymoon soon and I wanted to have it cleared to take tons of pictures in Gatlinburg. So I thought I'd share some pictures that I love and haven't posted.

For choir they did a haunted forest for the community to come and enjoy. Lexi was a Vampires victim. We had so much fun getting her ready.

There she is on the day of their performance as a zombie. They did such a great job and we had a ton of fun watching her.

Quite a change from the zombie huh? They were all dressed up and ready to go to her ROTC Ball. They looked beautiful and had fun.

More clean up pictures to come! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Iron Out Carpet Stains

Pinterest got me again!!
I was looking through Pinterest on household tips and I came across a tip to get carpet stains up. I even snapped some before and afters of my experience with this.
We bought a cheap iron for $6 at Walmart and some white cloths. You mix 1/2 and 1/2 ammonia and water. The ammonia ended up being too strong for me so I used Vinegar. Spray the stain liberally with the mixture, lay the white cloth over it and iron the stain with the iron set on steam. After a few sprays and irons this is what I got.

I have to say I was very pleased with the results and went about ironing stains out of my carpet all day. That real dark stain had been in my carpet for months.

So Much Happiness

These 2 have so much fun together and they are always happy! I love to see the smiles on their faces and hearing them laugh. Lexi is a much much happier child these days. Marvin is so good to her and she just loves him to pieces.

Braydon doesn't allow me to capture many pictures of him, but he to loves Marvin. They get along great and he's really looking forward to their fishing trips this spring.

These 2 what can I say, they are all around happier and get along great! Of course you can never get several pictures and all of them be serious! They have a lot of fun together most of the time.

10 More Days

I can't believe we have only 10 days left. It has seemed like forever to get here and even with only 10 days it still seems far away. We are both so excited to make our commitment to each other. So in the next 10 days we have a lot to do.
We still have to buy covers for the table (last minute shoppers much?)
We have yet to make a decision on flowers and by we I mean me...I'm still so back and forth on them, but I have a few more days. Thank goodness the florist doesn't need a long time.
Hair cuts for everyone next week.
We did finally buy the decor for the fireplace in the reception hall. That fireplace is the whole reason I wanted it....it is a winter wedding after all. I love what we got!
We have had the centerpieces for the tables....except ours. We haven't decided what we want as a centerpiece for our table.
I have to finish making the canvas signs for part of the fireplace decor. Thank you Pinterest I loved the idea!
Family will start arriving on the 22nd. All my family is out of state. My sister is coming in on Wednesday and the others will be here Friday. I'm excited to see all of them.
Nails need to be done next week some time.
Hair appointment is made for the wedding day. I was thrilled when my hair dresser said she would come in to do my hair. She is getting married just a week after me and had planned taking all that time off. She's such a sweet girl.
I also have received an offer to do a giveaway! So as soon as I receive the product and am able to review it I will get that giveaway up! I can't wait!

Happy Valentine's Day!
