I'm about to make you jealous!

Andrew and I went out to do some mattress shopping tonight and made our way into Sears. We have been having a little trouble finding king sized bedding until tonight! Now, I am about to blow your mind. Are you ready for this?

Are you sure??

Okay ....

We got a king sized comforter, bedskirt, two pillow shams, and two Euro pillows for $45!!!! We saved over $200 ... can you believe it?

Check it out!



Now we must decide what color sheets to get because I think we need a little color pop. So, I'm taking a poll ... I am thinking of a dark burnt orange or an eggplant purple. Thoughts?

So, are you jealous of my shopping skills yet?

If you know me at all ...

Then you know that I love to bake! Now, I don't do it often enough and I blame that on my tiny kitchen. And the fact that our apartment was about 150 degrees during the winter because my stove can heat up the entire place. But it is a passion. Especially around the holidays. That is when I break out my Grandma Walker's sugar cookie recipe. And you know I love you if I make those cookies for you.

The point of this post? This girl! WOW!!! I can't wait to get into a bigger kitchen and try out all of her crafty baking.

Check it out ... I am now taking requests. I wonder what she will post for the 4th of July ... something great I'm sure.

Happy almost Friday!

Catching up with the Rudy's

Wow … there is so much to post I don’t know where to start!!

How about we start with the following – We got a house! Yep, that’s right … we will officially be homeowners on May 29th!! Mark your calendars for the 4th of July because we are having a cookout! Just keep your fingers crossed that all goes well during the next few weeks. We have registered at Lowes and Home Depot for a grill, lawn mower, and any other outside tool that may be needed to keep our yard beautiful. Gift cards and cash are also welcome. (we really did not register … but we will take new and gently used gifts if you feel the need to give us anything) ha – I am totally kidding. Maybe.








Last week, the Mr. and I got free tickets to the Quail Hollow Golf Tournament … and we pretty much stalked Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning … good times! There is nothing like playing hooky from work to see famous people play golf. Check out the photos! Not too bad, huh? I also had my first experience riding the CATS bus. Just one comment … make sure to get on the express bus. Enough said.






The Mr. got exhaust for my competition … his truck. Yep … she received a very nice present from the Mr. (Note - I do keep tabs.) I am sure we will be working on getting some type of video downloaded for all to enjoy. Do you sense the sarcasm yet? In all honesty, it does sound pretty good. But I will never fully confess how nice it sounds. I refuse to condone these purchases for my arch enemy.




One last thing … my sister sent me this awesome website the other day. E.L.F. is a website that has a lot of makeup and accessories for only $1!! If your order is over $15, put in the promo code CAROLINA and you will save an additional $7.50. Pretty sweet, huh?

Have a great week and be sure to tell your mama you love her ... it's almost Mother's Day!
