DRESS LOVE

I tried this leopard print dress on a few weeks ago at Forever 21. I loved it! I didn't buy it though. I have 2 weddings to go to in October, but feel like I may look like a hussy showing up in leopard print! I can't stop thinking about the dress! It is one of those things that I am afraid if I don't buy it I will regret it. lol

Forever 21 comes out with new stuff on their website almost daily! They have this cute little red dress that I think is pretty. I love red and the dress is only $13.50!



Then there is MOD CLOTH. Talk about beautiful dresses! They are all so fun to look at!

PARSONS DESK

I think a lot of us dream of having a Parsons desk somewhere in our home. Sadly, I can't justify spending $300 on one! Plus, even if I could afford to buy one, I am cheap so I don't think I would!

I love the simple modern look of the Parsons desk. West Elm even sells the desk in a shade of yellow! I don't plan on buying much new stuff for my apartment. I do need a desk though. I have always used Dining Room tables because I like a big work space. I have to downsize though to a small desk since space is an issue. I found a Parsons desk on Walmart's website. I know it won't be as nice but it will give me the look that I like.


Here are some lovely images of some Parsons Desks...

WOO-HOO! MY HUSBAND IS BECOMING A SOLDIER!

Cody got his date for boot camp today! FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! He is shipping out on January 4th, 2011. We are so glad that he will be going some what soon. It is a blessing. We don't have to be {as} stressed anymore. We can start really moving forward! We have already started planning a vacation to Disney World in December. We loved it so much the 1st time that we really thought it would be fun to go right before he left.

* Vacation
* Christmas
* Boot camp

After 2 months of boot camp there will be a huge graduation. Family, friends and myself will go see him graduate. {I will take tons of pictures!} After that he will start his education and training for his career. That we last about 6 months, then the Air Force will tell Cody where he will be stationed. Then he will come back to OHIO for me and our stuff. :) I should be moving from OHIO around August of 2011!

I am praying for palm trees and sunny skies! lol I dream of living somewhere that is WARM all year round. *fingers crossed*

4 Movies

I put these 4 movies together for a reason! They all have dark story lines and have graphic content.



1. American Psycho - I really like Christian Bale. He does a good performance in this film, but I didn't like the story at all. If you are a Christian Bail fan it may be worth watching. Otherwise I would only give it 3 stars Christian Bale 5 stars

2. Session 9 - This movie is about a clean up crew that goes to an old insane asylum to clean it. I don't want to give away anything, so I won't go into detail. I really didn't like it. :( 2 stars

3. Shutter Island - I really liked this movie. It kept me interested the whole time and I was happy with the way it ended. It isn't a movie that ends without explaining things that happened! 4 stars

4. MOON - A very interesting story about an astronaut that is sent to the moon. The story is kinda sad, but has an very unexpected twist to the story. 4 stars

DAYTON AIR FORCE MUSEUM

Cody & I visited the Dayton Air Force Museum this past Wednesday. It is really neat to see such a big part of history. Here are some of my photos...

TODAYS COLOR: KELLY GREEN

Kelly Green is not a color I would usually decorate with in my own home. I do enjoy these lovely rooms though...
