Shopping in a winter wonderland!

Well…it’s official! Our Christmas shopping is DONE! We have shopped until we dropped! Yesterday Terence and I went shopping and then ate dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. We sat out on the patio area and it was a little too cold to eat outside last night! They did have heaters and everything and it also gave me an excuse to try their hot chocolate because I was so coooold!

Here’s the view shopping…isn’t it pretty?

Tonight we went to Dallas and the Galleria had the most beautiful Christmas trees. One was in the ice rink and they had little girls ice skating all around it. It was precious! I just love this time of year!

Beautiful lit up trees

This is a cute display at a house down the street and I had to take a picture for my Mom because she just loves penguins and these are adorable.

I got these fabulous blinky antlers at one of my favorite stores Restoration Hardware. They have the cutest little stocking stuffers and we love their furniture and just about everything else they have in the store!

How’s ya’ll’s Christmas shopping going? It’s only 12 days away!!!!

6 Random Things About Me:

  • I love anything sparkly and glittery. The more BLING the better!
  • I secretly want to move somewhere cold so I can wear sweaters and jackets all year round. I don’t like hot weather at all. I hate to sweat!
  • Death seriously scares me, not because I don’t know that I am a christian, but the thought of pain and sorrow. I don’t know what I would do if anything ever happened to Terence…I think I would curl up in the fetal position and die too.
  • I have bad anxiety I worry about EVERYTHING! I need to learn to let go…
  • I don’t eat red meat.
  • I want to move to New York and work in the Godiva chocolate factory, only because if you work there you get to sample every piece of chocolate they make so you’ll know the product! ha!
I am TAGGY-POO-ING!!!!

Buffalo burn out!

I just got back from my night of being a buffalo! It was not too bad besides the stifling hot costume and the tunnel vision. Besides that it was okay….I’m just glad to be home now so I can go take a shower! ha! I am thankful that the Lord always provides for us in little ways so we can make extra money….especially during the much needed holiday season!
The pictures aren’t that great. They were taken with a polaroid camera, but you get the idea.

I’m cheap!

Okay, I’ve been seriously needing to get my roots done, but I don’t want to pay $100 or more to do it! Tonight Terence and I did some Christmas shopping and then I wanted to go into Ulta to look at hair dye to see what they had. OMG! This stuff is awesome. You get the dye, a pre-treatment, and hair mask. It doesn’t stink like normal at home hair dyes either!!! And the color was great! It’s still a little more expensive than most at home hair dyes, but it was worth it 🙂
HERE are some more color options


My mother-in-law hosted a baby shower today. I made cake balls again! This time I used the pink wilton candy melts and they worked really well. Michael’s craft store has a MUCH better selection than Hobby Lobby and they have several different colors.

Every year Terence’s aunts put on a celebrity cutting event here in Fort Worth. It’s actually pretty cool. I didn’t know what cutting was until we went last year and those horses are amazing! Afterwards there is a concert and dinner with an auction. All the money raised goes to charity for cancer victims. GOOD TIMES!

more cutting…
If any of you ever get the chance to go to a cutting event you should go! I didn’t think I would really enjoy it because I’m not into rodeos, but this is actually really entertaining to watch!
