all grown up

My exciting news for of the week! I got checks and a debit card!!! haha. It seems so weird that the checks in my wallet aren't pretend and that I can actually write them out and buy things, unlike the ones in the play room. I thought I would take some pictures so you could see my very own checks! :) Oh, and occasions like this call for a new wallet, thanks Target!

crafty!

So, I decided to be crafty and I made these letters myself!! I will admit I stole the idea from another blogger, but I love them.

Happy Birthday!

This is a little late but I wanted to with my friend Megan a Happy Birthday! Her birthday was on the 19th... but I'm lame and don't post enough..... She is 19!!! That is crazy to think that I will be in college and 19 all starting THIS YEAR! Yikes.....

Here are the latest pictures of the home renovation! Sorry I'm not good at taking pictures, but I tried to give you a good idea. Mom and Dad's room doesn't really have good light, I need to take the pictures during the day so I have better light, because the color of their room really is pretty but that will come later :) Can't wait until Jilly comes home and helps pick out new furniture! It will all look so good! The mantle is going to come in about three weeks, pictures to follow!
