Confessions


On Friday night Brian and I stopped to a new store nearby called At Home. It's the coolest store and we spent over an hour just browsing. I reallyyyyy wanted this awesome backyard umbrella, so that night we decided to join our neighborhood yard sale that was happening the next morning, We scoured the house and threw together a bunch of junk we didn't want anymore. We ended up making $134, went back to the store that night armed with a 10% off coupon, and got the 9.5ft umbrella, a 40lb stand (it is sooo windy around here), and a small table for $133.53. Talk about perfect! So in less than 24 hours from when we saw it, we made the money and got it, I don't mess around when I want something! We don't have much of our outdoor furniture out yet because it's been too cold, but we couldn't resist putting up the umbrella and little end table and bringing out our lounge chairs even though it was 40 degrees.


Even though I'm so sad that all the spring finales are on (and umm they cancelled Nashville and The Family, lame!!), I am so excited for The Bachelorette and Mistresses, and eventually in June, Pretty Little Liars to come back! Apparently my life revolves around TV?


I still feel so sad that our wedding is over. It was 7 months ago yesterday and I can't believe time has flown so fast! It's like, when you're planning the wedding everyone is so excited and involved and then as soon as it's over, it's like you're chopped liver and people have moved on to other exciting things. We probably won't get that much attention again until we have a baby in 4-5 years! Now I sound selfish, geez. these confessions are bringing out all my best sides today haha


Speaking of weddings. I have been being lazy and not really taking off my rings when I shower and stuff lately, and it's been so cold out (bonus confession- I love the cold weather!) that now I have like super dry skin under my rings and in between the fingers near where my ring was. I'm not wearing my rings right now until I can get it under control with the hydro-cortisone and Cerave cream, but I keep looking at my hands and having mini panic attacks until I remember why they're not on my finger.


I think I have a Tarte makeup obsession. I hope they have another 30% off sale soon so I can get the color correcting palette and maybe the rainforest of the sea aquacealer.

  1. Tyson and I had a yard sale once, a planned one. We made $0, so we've never had another one.

  2. You guys just got At Home? It used to be called Garden Ridge Pottery and I think it started in Houston... my cousins and I had to go with our moms when we were little and it was so huge and boring but it had a snack bar, haha. I love it as an adult! (And thanks for allowing me that tangent...) Love the umbrella! My friend just worked with them on a campaign to redo her patio so I want to go check it out for myself! And I can't get my rings off but they still spin and the skin underneath needs some love. Just gotta lose some lbs so I don't have to cut it off :(

    And boooooo Nashville!

  3. I still think that's so awesome that y'all made enough money from your garage sale to get the umbrella that you wanted, and it looks so good! Don't worry, my life pretty much revolves around TV too, and I'm probably way too excited about the fact that PLL and The Bachelorette will be on soon! And why did they have to cancel Nashville??? It was one of the best shows, plus the music was fantastic!

  4. We have an At Home here, it used to be Garden Ridge. I can get lost walking around in there and looking at all the fun stuff. I really like the umbrella you got! I never take my rings off in the shower or whatever, but I get dry skin from time to time under them as well and it always just heals up on its own. Cant wait for PLL!!!!!!

  5. That's so awesome that you got exactly what you needed for the umbrella! It was meant to be! I'm so sad they cancelled Nashville. What is that?!

  6. Okay I am livid that they cancelled The Family! Especially after the stupid season finale (which of course ended up being the SERIES finale) ended with like 49 loose ends. Rage. I need PLL back to make me feel better. Ha!

  7. That's so fantastic y'all had a last-minute yard sale and made exactly what you needed for the umbrella! Yay for the Bachelorette (this one is a bit weird to me because I don't know JoJo, but a bunch of people I went to college with do and keep posting about it). Tarte makeup palettes are so great!

  9. That umbrella is awesome. That's cool you were able to make the money to pay for it! I'm never good at selling stuff, but then again we don't have room for extra stuff in our apartment right now, so everything is pretty necessary.
