New Bedding!

Okay, so I have liked this bedding at Pottery Barn for a while now, but it was too expensive. But, the other day when I went to go "check up" on it again, it was on sale!!!

Ted and I have needed some new sheets and a duvet cover for our down comforter ever since we have been married. And, so we decided now is the time. :) It will go beautifully in our room with slate blue walls and some new art we just got from this painter on ETSY. I will post pics of our updated room when the bedding arrives, but for now...

Here's the pics off of potterybarn.com

(we got the marigold striped sheets to match the bedding, instead of the sheets shown with the duvet cover.)

I am probably more excited than I should be to receive this stuff in the mail!

And the Highlight of the Weekend was....

....a flat tire!

Haha, just kidding, just a minor road bump (literally) in our last-of-the-holidays-weekend. But, the hubby got a new tire today, so the Subaru is all set to go. :)

Our weekend was fun though. On Friday we got to have lunch with our friends The Whitley's (who are just the cutest couple, btw). Ted and I then went to Lowe's and spent waaaaay too much time looking and discussing blinds for our newly painted bedroom. We finally decided on these shades made out of bamboo sticks (as Ted calls them) and they are an espresso color. Super nice, BUT we discovered the wondow on Ted's side of the bed is a fancy-shmancy custom sized window, which needs custom sized shades. So, my shades are going up and Ted is just going to have to wait a little longer. ;) It's okay, we both enjoy the view of the garage from there.

We also bought a new ceiling light for our bedroom which is very pretty. Something Ted and I have both discovered through these little Lowe's trips is that we have different tastes and different stlyes. But, that's okay because life would be boring if we agreed on every little thing. Right? (Sorry to Ted for calling his shades choice "ugly and old lady") :)

On Saturday I had to work till 5pm but then we got to go to John and Anora's house. They are some super cool friends of ours and Ted is writing songs with them (along with another guy, Pat) that they will play in public someday. I think a band type thing may be forming, but they don't have a name or anything. On Saturday they wrote a song about a captian, first mate and the captian's lady. At the end of the song the first mate kills them both. It's a nice love song.

On Sunday, the weather was nice and pleasant, with freezing rain, wind and ice pellets. :) But, church was nice with Jan preaching. She is the Director of Spiritual Formation at our church. She's awesome! Then I had to go to work for 4 hours. It was at work that I decided to get a subsrciption to Mothering Magazine. It is a magazine about raising and caring for your children naturally. I am super excited to get my first issue in 6 weeks! You can check out their website at http://www.mothering.com/

Bye for now.
