New Coffee Table.

John's Aunt was re-decorating her beach house in Newport so she was throwing away this white coffee table. She asked us if we wanted it. I told her I'd take it home and check it out. I think I like the way it looks. It's a little tall for the space, but I think it makes it look a little more "beachy" now. There is a matching side table that John accidentally forgot to bring with him. It will look better when we replace our brown side table with the matching white one next week. Here are a few pics of the new table and a new Liberty of London lamp shade I got on clearance at Target. Cheers to free/cheap stuff! Thanks Aunt Karen!

Kat's birthday & LOST!

Yesterday was bittersweet for me. After church, we headed to Mission Viejo for John's little sister Kat's 24th birthday. His mom made some DELICIOUS sweet pulled pork that tasted exactly like Cafe Rio's! We had Pulled Pork burritos with beans and Lime Cilantro rice. She even made Lime Cilantro Ranch that tasted just like Cafe Rio's! Everything was better in my opinion than theirs! Then she made a delicious Red Velvet cake for dessert. Happy birthday Kat! Then we watched the LOST series finale. It was a really good episode and I think it ended on a good note. They didn't answer all the questions they raised throughout it's 6 years/seasons, but all in all it was good for me. I'm so sad it's over. It's one of my favorite shows with some brilliant writing. It will truly be missed! Did you like the finale?

What The Heck?

Okay so what has gotten into TV these days? I just got done watching the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. Wow! What a crazy/messed up episode! I mean, it was good don't get me wrong... but that was way too intense and stressful. Did you watch it? If so, what did you think? Too much drama, or just enough to leave you hanging?

I Heart Costco!

While I was at work today John made a run to Costco to get some stuff we were out of. When I got home, I was happily surprised to see some beautiful Pink Gerbera Daisies waiting for me! He also had gotten me my favorite Kirkland Trail mix. What a sweetie! I started unloading the big pack of toilet paper he bought, and as soon as it was empty Carlyle jumped right into the big empty bag they were in. She was in heaven. It was pretty funny and cute so I had to snap a few pics with my iPhone. (Click pics for a better view.)

This is just cute:

Carlyle always jumps in the bathroom sink, but today she was laying down in it for a little while. It was pretty funny and cute. Notice how I captured her big luxurious tail flopping in motion. I love this little creature.

Word To Your Mother...

I just wanted to make a quick shout out to all my moms! I am grateful for everything they have taught me and have done for me. They are all great examples in my life! My mom is such a wonderful, talented, thoughtful, self-less, beautiful, creative person and I love her! I am grateful she also had a great mom growing up. I am so thankful for John's mom in my life. I couldn't ask for a better mother in law! Happy Mother's Day to all! We love you!

"Keep Calm and Carry On"

When I was at Target yesterday getting a prescription for John, I saw these and about died! I love "Keep Calm and Carry On" stuff. I especially love it ever since living in London and learning about the history behind it all. How cute are these fun new things they have in their store? I think the tray is so cute with the forks as the crown. I also really like this lamp in the coordinating colors. Once again, Target scores big time!

Pure Awesomeness!

New Phone Holder

Today I randomly/ accidentally bought this cute little iPhone case on Etsy. I have wanted a different one for quite awhile, but just never have gotten one. I have a plain black leather one right now that I've had ever since the first Gen iPhone came out like 3 or 4 years ago, and was ready for a change. I love the little flower button detail on it. Hopefully it looks like this in real life.
