busy

Or not busy.


I learned from my last doctors appointment that I could very well have a chance at getting preclampsia. I had protein in the urine and high blood pressure and Excessive swelling of the feet and hands. So the last few days I've really tried to lay low.
I've also had a couple of trips to the hospital for further monitoring and steroid shots.
My doctor says that I just need to hang out and really stay off my feet. & so far the results have been beautiful. I will update you more as it progresses, I am praying and trying hard to keep from getting sick.

Look at this door...

the lady who was in the home before us said she made it look "vintage"

looks more like to me she had her kids wipe bleach and left over lunch on the poor old door. Gross.





Kitty litter in the living room??

Prosser WA

Ok Really cool sign!
I wish I could have gotten more pictures of it!

Proof
that I actually try to do my hair sometimes.
I thought prosser deserved to see a better side of me so I curled my hair.
So this store "Rustic Rooster"
was one of the main reasons why I wanted to drive to prosser.
I diden't even take a decent picure of the store but everything in there was cute!



Yummy, yummy food!!
Oh look and some happy customers!

Ok
So you can totally tell I took this from my car!
but we ran out of time so I just took what I could




OK so this past Saturday Joel and drove about 30 minutes down the road to this really cute little town called Prosser. We originally planned on fishing and getting a bite to eat and possibly looking at some stores, but we got a late start and didn't go fishing at all. Bummer. But we found a really good cafe and some cute stores and ended up having a really good afternoon. I think my favorite part besides the Rustic Rooster was the candy store! We stopped into this candy and gift store called "Chuck-er Cherries" that sells chocolate covered nuts and cherries.
MMMM best pecans I've ever had!

Great weekend :)

Joel and I had a wonderful weekend :) No we diden't get our furniture that we picked out or do anything with our new home.
but,
we did have fun getting my blood taken at a lab
and then checking out some cute boutiqe stores around town and then of course, heading for
PF changs for an early B-day dinner for Joel.

yum!








PLUS!
I came home with these babys!
I found them at a local thirft store, they were all an ugly brown color before... & everyone thought I was crazy for buying them but then I painted these puppys with spray paint and look how cute they are!
They will be going in the babys room cause its all shabby chic in there I just love it!
