Steals & Deals

This is my first entry about all the great clothes I find!! (at least I think they are)

Since I was very young I always was conscious of price tags and sale racks. I haven't figured out why, since I know it wasn't something my parents made me do. Whenever I buy clothes, they are always on sale or clearance. I like clearance better. Here are two finds:

Green Dress, Forever 21 $5.99 on clearance rack

ADORABLE skirt, Forever 21, $10 on clearance rack 

10 bucks is kinda high for me...I usually only spend more than that on jeans, shoes or sweaters. Some of my favorite stores that you will see my finds from are:

Forever 21

Target

Nordstrom Rack 

Ross

My favorite things!

Chris got us these for Christmas. I thought it was just a joke, but these suckers clean your teeth like no other! Kids toothbrushes really get in those crevices since the heads are so small!
The computer I took over. Please ignore the dust, I just noticed it too. 
My dear feta cheese...I put this on everything....
I am trying to not eat so much sugar! This gum does the trick!
If you could smell this Cinnamon Coconut candle you would love it too...but I love ANYTHING coconut...

This is a fun activity to walk around the house and snap your favorite things! TRY IT and post on YOUR blog!

CONGRATS!

I love love LOVE you babe! I am so proud of you!

bath time !

For our little rat look-a-like.

Samson was very concerned. He is the sweetest dog.




I take it back. She doesn't look like a rat.

She looks like a gremlin!

He got his too. Did I mention the vet doesn't think he is a yorkie? He kept telling me he thinks he is maybe part schnauzer and poodle...

who are you little man???

16 random facts.

My sister tagged me for this on Facebook, but I really needed something to blog about...so what the heck!

1. 4 years ago today my Uncle Troy died. I loved him dearly, and miss him dearly.
2. A friend said this today, and I totally agree " People need to look to the Bible for a savior not to the White House". Amen, anyone?? Especially on inauguration day?
3. I have been incredibly lonely lately. I wish I had more friends in my life.
4. I am starting to think I will never have kids. 
5. I get bothered when people cringe at the fact that I 'live in Queen Creek'. It REALLY bothers me actually. 
6. I have been watching Intervention lately and I love that show. 
7. I want to move out of Arizona and somewhere far so we can start over or get away or something...but that will never happen.
8. I have been begging for a closet organizer since we moved into our house. We take up all 3 closets with our clothing.
9. I have a really fun job and I enjoy what I do. I make a decent living off it too :)
10. I buy a lot of clothes. Only bargains though. I am thinking I will start posting my finds of the week/month. This probably explains #8. 
11. My husband Chris really is my best friend, and I believe that is a great thing.
12. I dream of what names I will give to my non-existent children. ALL THE TIME.
13. I want to get a tattoo on my foot. That too, will never happen.
14. I never EVER cried at a movie until I met Chris. I think its because I finally knew what love was. Now I bawl at EVERYTHING!
15. I am afraid at night.
16. Now I am going to go eat a grapefruit. 

Things gone wrong...

My sister asked me to get some good black and white photos of the kids today. About half way through, I realized my ISO was all the way up- which makes for an extremely noisy photo. I don't know why I didn't notice it but I was really upset. I also was experimenting shooting in RAW, since it is so recommended, but the files aren't readable on my computer. Whoever said that is a good idea is nuts. I was able to download a program to convert them, but it took over an hour to convert about 20 pictures. Not doing that again!
All I have to say is that I am glad this happened with my sister and not a paying client!

So Funny!

Chris really likes this video...I do too :) It will make you laugh and hope that Christians are cooler these days.

My wish this year...

Is to get away on a cruise! Doesn't that sound fun?? We both have never been and I hope someday SOON we can go :)

or maybe it will remain just a wish...

Wedding Photos

I was playing around with Photoshop today, and I thought a great way to learn would be to mess with my wedding pictures! I thought our photographer did a great job, but it was fun to do things a little more to my liking...

Look what I just found...

This makes me just so sad! We really miss little Chloe. I don't even remember taking this picture. I just came across it right now.

She isn't replaced...but here is a new picture of little Delilah.

Some belated Christmas pictures!

Here are those headbands I made for my niece! They are so easy. Just made from nylon and ribbon.

Some treats from chocolate dipping with my mom and sister....my favorite!


Merry Christmas from the Worleys!

We played everything very low key this year. We only exchanged stockings, and Chris gave me the best one ever!! Mine was total junk compared to his :) We did go shopping and buy stuff for ourselves which always is good.

I hope everyone had a good holiday and an even better new year!

happy 2009!

What a year this has been! I have to say, I am very excited for it to be over and a new year to start.
Here are a few things we are going to try to do this year, and things we look forward to.
-Be more active!
-Clean as we (or just I) go
-We are glad Delilah is healthy and will soon be bigger so we don't worry about stepping, or sitting on her...whoops.
-More family time
-I look forward to doing more photography
-Spend more time in the Word
-We hope that in 2009 we will really find our place in AZ, and where God wants us.
-I will try to not slack on this blog! Geez I still don't have Christmas pictures up, but I didn't even take many.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

a little fact: 3 years ago today Chris and I got engaged! Happy engagement anniversary babe!
