Courtney Got Carpet Cleaner

Courtney is a happy wife!

I'm Gettin There

I got myself a new planner. It's so cute & got it for $1 at the dollar tree lol! Had to throw that in there because I just love that place. I spent the last few mornings writing birthdays,bills etc.. in there. It just makes me so happy to open it up & see whats going on that day. It takes so little for me I know lol!! I also write in there what housework I need to get done that day & that is going great as well. Life's not perfect but it's not really supposed to be right?! But, it sure is much nicer around here. Who knew a one dollar planner could totally change my life!

Goodbye 2007

So a new year is soon to begin. A new chance to get it right huh=) I never really make resolutions because who ever really keeps them? I never did. I do however try to think of things I can do differently that would make my life easier or even better. I said this last year & here I am one year later saying it again lol!! In 2008 I vow to be more organized. (So Katy I may need some pointers lol!!) Since Matt got home things have really been out of hand & he has been home a little over a year now so it's time to stop using that as an excuse! I'm going to pick up a new planner. I had one when Matt was deployed & it was my life. I was so organized then & I honestly miss it. I'm not going to forget any birthdays & no cards will be sent out late. I did that alot this year. No more! Goodbye slacker Courtney! 2008 welcomes a new organized Courtney!!! We'll see I guess=) I hope 2008 brings many blessings to you & your family. Let's make it a great year. Ya with me?
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY SWEET FRIENDS!!!!!

Decorating Pictures!!!

**Ok I changed my background I had a few comments & a couple emails that they couldn't read my blog because of the background. Sorry about that & thank you for letting me know! I worked on it for awhile & finally have it the way I want it**

This is our living room. I rearranged the furniture yesterday. (but forgot before pics lol)This room is my next project. I hate I mean really hate this wallpaper. As I said before I'm a primitive addict. I'm going to take this wallpaper down real soon & paint. This room & the hallway will soon be crows & sheep. I can't wait! Until then I just "deal" with the flowers! In the first pic you can see my antique cream can (on the right) That was my great grandpa's. I sooo love it! Matt doesn't really understand why but he just doesn't appreciate the old primitive decorating as I do LOL!!

This is our TV room. Now this I have pretty much finished. Well, I'm still always finding something new to put in here. I also love anything Americana as you can see!





There you have it. My latest projects & there will always be more...Believe me & oh if anyone has any ideas or tips feel free to fill me in. I'm always up for suggestions=)

I Feel Like It's Friday

And no I haven't gone crazy. It's just Matt is off Wed & Thurs. so I guess because of that I feel it's friday. Strange but true. I am so excited for him to finally be home for 2 days! I told you before about his back & all the Dr Appts & Physical Therapy. Well, they are pretty much finished but last week he worked his entire schedule around 1 appointment that at the very last minute they called & canceled. I was so mad but hey it made for lots of overtime:) Then this weekend he was at drill. Anywho, after today he's off for 2 days. I feel like it's Christmas lol!! I'm gonna go grocery shopping tomorrow morning & after that not a thing. Just enjoy some time all together. I think I'll pick up some pumpkins for us to carve or paint tomorrow evening. What is everyone else doing? Carving or painting. I haven't decided yet. Well, that's about it for today. I'm off to do some laundry,cleaning & cooking. Mommy's work is never done=)

***Update*** I'm in a cleaning & rearranging mood! So come back later for a peek for pics. I know I know I have promised pictures of the decorating I have done but today I mean it LOL!!!
