We just got the tree! It's Gorgeous!

I can't believe it's already that time of year! I love this time of year. I love all the decorations and Christmas music and family gatherings. And I'm even more excited that this Christmas will be spent with a sweet baby boy. Eeeeeeeek! (one more week!) So, Zac and I have been talking about what kind of tree we want. I told him I would LOVE to have at least two trees this year. One for our living room and one for upstairs in front of the window. If you know us or have ever been to our home, you know we love color. So of course we have to get at least one non-traditional tree, maybe two. So here are a few trees I've been eyeing on the internet.


I found this tree at Treetopia. They have so many colorful and fun trees. Now, I know we won't be getting this tree, but isn't it pretty and fun?! I am really considering this yellow tree from Treetopia though. It's only $88. It may happen.



This next tree is one we both like. I love the shade of blue, but not the price. I found it here. Hopefully, I can do some more internet searching and find one similar for less.

And now it's time for one of my favorite YouTube videos. I can still quote this even though I haven't watched it since last Christmas.

Time Flies!

Well, I didn't keep up with this blog like I thought I would have. Life got in the way. That's an excuse right? So much has happened since my last post in February! Let's see.........Zac and I sold our house and moved into our amazing new home. It's so funny we ended up in this house because I remember reading an article about it in a local magazine and I fell in love. A few months later I came across it on Trulia, but Zac didn't like it too much from the pictures so we never looked at it. We were under contract on a really cool home in OKC, but issues came up so we got out of the contract. Zac suggested we see if this house was still for sale and the rest is history! Now we're settled in and enjoying every minute. It's very bright and colorful. I'm so glad Zac and I have the same taste when it comes to decorating our home.

I also found out that I'm going to be an Aunt for the first time! Ahhh! My brother Aaron and his wife Marci are having their first little baby. Little Bentley is scheduled to arrive in about two weeks (this year has gone by so fast). He's going to be a turkey baby! I can't wait until he arrives. He is going to be one spoiled baby at Christmas. My mom has wanted a grandbaby since my oldest brother got married about 8-9 years ago. Sometimes I think she is more excited than Aaron and Marci! Okay, not really, but if you talked to her everyday like I do then you would understand. I've gotten a countdown number every day and constant emails of cute baby stuff off etsy. She is going to be in Grandma heaven and I'm so happy for her. I can't believe my parents are going to be Grandparents.......so weird.

Now to the present. So I bought a fancy camera a LONG time ago. I've used it, but I've never taken the time to learn anything about it. I've always used the automatic setting. Well Marci asked me to be in the delivery room when little Bentley arrives and to take pictures (and to keep everyone calm......my mom). So my good friend Brandy came over and showed me some of the basics. Since then I've been taking more pictures! Yay! Here are a few from my day today.

(Okay, so I know they are only spray paint cans, but I thought it looked kind of cool. I spray painted some gold Abe bookends today!)

Rudy was such a good little pugger model today. I know these probably don't look that great, but I am pretty proud of them! Mostly because I used the manual settings and had to adjust everything. I'm slowly learning! Okay, well now it's bed time! I need more sleep to get through Mondays. Have a great week everyone!
