GOT THE KEYS!!!!

Jenn and I officially signed our lease and now are legitimate renters!!!! We were suppose to get them tomorrow, but they were able to let us in a day earlier so SURPRISE!!!!
So yeah, we're kinda excited.... (YAY!!!!!!)

Due to it being a surprise, we forgot a camera, but Jenn got several pictures with her phone. You know, the whole getting the keys, signing the lease, using the toilet....   jk. Maybe.
But we do have some sweet action shots of us dancing around the living room! Once I get them I'll show ya. Tomorrow I'll move some stuff, but furniture won't come until Saturday with my parents so it's just a bunch of waiting now.I'll be sure to take some shots tomorrow with it empty. You know I love a good before and after :) I keep bursting into song and squealing with joy (that's common, right?)

(here comes the segway) Speaking of apartments, you should definitely go over to Apartment Therapy and check out the Small/Cool 2011 competition. People submit pictures of their little apartments or homes and let people vote which one is the best. The majority of the voting is done so the finalists are all that's left. Here's a few pictures of my favorite of the finalists.

You can check out the whole apartment HERE.

I love the mix of the soft velvet couch and industrial coffee table.

 And I'm always a fan of huge paintings :)

The Veil

I couldn't have cared less about the royal wedding until I saw Kate's veil.... 

Wow. Just... wow. 

When I grow up and get married, I'm totally having a veil like this. 

It's the little things.

I don't get manicures.

I don't go tanning.

I don't shop... a lot.

But I do buy flowers :)

And I like them :)

And they only cost $5.

And they make my roommates smile too.

So win, win!

Hope you have a wonderful day and please take the time to 

pray for those who have been affected by the recent storms. 

For my mom

Love it.

New Look, New Idea

Well, I decided it was time to clean up the blog a bit. 

I can't seem to change the title post color so it's stuck 

being this weird, overwhelming blue for now. 

You like it?

I like it. :)

I wanted something a bit cleaner and simpler because 

the fish scale scallop was getting a little old.

Also, I have a new project that I want to try out! 

Everyone seems to be jumping on this ombre trend 

and it's definitely a new favorite of mine.

And not just any ombre, pink ombre :)

Since I have this cream skirt that I never wear, I'm going to find some pinky-red dye and try this technique out! 

Here's what I'm using as inspiration...

Freshly Picked

Wish me luck!!!

Clothed Much?

Fashion blogger Elaine from Clothed Much is flat-out AMAZING!!!

How on earth did I not find this blog till now?!?!?!

She has such a great, simple style and I can't wait to steal some ideas from her :) 

Are there anymore amazing blogs out there that I'm completely ignorant of?

Day trip

So yesterday Kevin, Jonathan, Jenn, and I decided to go on a little trip to Fayetteville for the Arkansas Spring Football game. Honestly, I didn't know we were going to a football game until we were halfway there. It's baseball season, so naturally I was very confused. We got up early so we could be at the stadium 3 hours before kick-off (??!!!) to get a good seat. We all had a good time...

But really I only went for the food.

Hello funnel cakes :)

 That's me with Jenn, my funnel cake partner/future roomie

 Kevin was so excited! He's wanted to watch a game here his whole life. 

Life-long dream: Accomplished.

 Jenn and Jonathan (my cousin)

So cute :)

"We so excited. We, we so excited."
