Valentines Day Present

Ricky has been wanting to get a bigger and better TV for about a year now. We had agreed that eventually we would get one but I honestly didn't think it would be soon. So Friday we went to town and we decided to go window shopping and just get an overall price range for TVs and sound systems, to sort of know what we were going to eventually have to pay. Well we found a really good deal at sears. We had agreed to wait till Tuesday to get it, but we changed our minds and decided to go back and get it that night. Lucky we got there when we did cause 3 other people showed up after us for the exact same TV, unfortunately for them we got the last one in stock. 

So to sort of justify getting it we decided to call it our Valentines Day present. 

Now I just have to figure out a way to get him away from it. 

He's home!!!!

Ricky's home! Life is once again wonderful. 

He's only been back a week so we're still in the processes of getting used to one another again. 

But even though we have each grown and changed while apart we still love each other more then anything in this world and life has never been better!

SNOW!!!

So as most everyone knows snow has come. A lot of it, and Abilene was not the exception. We got quite a bit, and it's actually stuck around for more then a day. Of course all the schools are closed, and a lot of the stores have been closing early as well. In fact I haven't had to work the last 2 days because of the weather. So you may ask yourselves, "Audrey, what did you do with yourself if you didn't work for two days and have pretty much been snowed in?" Well I'll tell you...

I cooked, more then I have for all of January. I tried to make tamales. They didn't turn out great but now I know that I can only improve on them from here on out.

But since the tamales didn't really turn out I had to make something that did, so I made mini banana bread loafs. Those did turn out really well. I ate two loafs that first day. 

I also tried to experiment with my muffin recipe and well those didn't turn out good at all. I also made pretzels. Those were delicious and are all gone. I would have gotten a picture, but I was to enjoying them too much and then they were gone. 

I've actually really enjoyed just spending my days at home, but today I was stir crazy and I needed a few things from town so I braved the weather and went to town. I don't ever remember driving on 2 inches of ice before now but I am glad that I was taught how to drive on ice, which is more then most of Abilene can say. I didn't get stuck and I wasn't ever scared of being out of control. Ricky, if only you could have seen me, I'm pretty sure you would be so proud. I drove like a pro! :) 

Progress on my project

Anyone who reads this knows that I have been doing a lot of projects lately. Well I have finally made quiet a bit of progress on my latest one. 

It has gone from this...

To this...

To this.

I'm almost done. I'm still trying to decide if I want to leave it white, or if I want to paint it a different color since all my walls are white. Or if I want to do a design on it. I don't know. What do you all think I should do? Any suggestions would be welcome cause I'm just kind of stuck.

Story time

If your wondering why is there a picture of an iphone don't wonder for too long. There is a story that goes along with this picture just below.

The story goes as follow... Not to long ago, Ricky was doing laundry, and without really thinking put a pair of pants in without checking the pockets, which isn't like him. Even he said it was weird for him to do that. And wouldn't you know it, he had his phone in them. He didn't realize until it was to late to save the phone. Needless to say he was very upset, so in order to help him feel better I told him that we could just upgrade his phone and I would send that to him. He agreed and that was the plan for about one night, but the next day he decided that I should upgrade my phone and just send him my old one, that way if he did end up destroying another phone it wouldn't be the new one. So I readily agreed and now I have the new iphone, and he has my old one. So for anyone who is reading this just know that my husband is the best, cause even though I was going to give him the new phone, he gave it to me instead. 

Thus the photo.
