you had me at "let's got out to eat"

My wonderful husband called me this morning to tell me that he was craving a calzone and that he wanted to go out to eat tonight to get one...  (is he pregnant with his craving of a calzone?)  So then he suggested we go to Hungry Howie's.  But we thought the closest one was like an hour away but it turns out that there is one and it is only 20 minutes away!

We LOVE Hungry Howie's!  When Zach was in training at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia we would order from there just about every weekend!  It is seriously the best pizza that I have ever had!  So when he suggested Hungry Howie's for dinner I got excited not only because I LOVE it but because I don't have to cook!

Moving right along...  on the baby topic: still waiting on my next cycle to start so I can start taking Clomid.  I have until Sunday the 10th for my next cycle to start before I go in for bloodwork.  If my cycle doesn't start because I am pregnant that would be FANTASTIC but if it just doesn't start I will be disappointed but I will just move right along and start my medication with the hopes that it will do the trick!

My sister just posted the flipping and changing that they have done in their house...  They inspired us to do some flipping and changing of our own.  We installed blinds on our back door so that you can't see in our house.  We switched our TV from one wall to another which involved moving the cable lines.  We rearranged the furniture in our living room to make it more open!  Our next project involves Karmen and her sewing machine.  She is going to help me make some curtains for our living room.  I have one fabric picked out and I am SO excited about it.  Also on our to do list is to paint our living room and our kitchen.  Right now our living room is red (my husband's choice not mine) and it is driving me insane.

Sorry I have no pictures of our rearrangement.  I have yet to take any.  We are still in the process of putting everything back in its place.  Once that is finished I will put some pictures up for you.

So there you have it...  we are going out to dinner tonight, we are waiting for my next cycle, and we are sprucing up our house...  not an exciting life but it is our life!

the last thing you ever want to see

Last night as we were watching the news, a story came on about budget cuts to the local county police department. There is a street crimes unit that has been patrolling a neighboring city near my house and have cut down on crime in the area drastically... Now here comes the scary part, they start showing houses in my subdivision saying that there had been a break in today (actually yesterday)!!! The last thing you want to see before you go to bed is a video of houses in your subdivision talking about a break in.

When we moved back into our house we were told by one of our neighbors that there had been a lot break ins since the beginning of the year... luckily ours was not one of them... we were told that they caught those people, so now there is a new person or persons doing it and it scares me to death! Even Zach was uneasy when we were going to bed last night...

Keep us and all of our neighborhood in your prayers, there are a lot of single people who live by themselves in our subdivision, our neighbor being one of them... Even though her daughter lives in the subdivision we try to keep an eye out for her too... she is the sweetest woman!

Talk about hitting close to home... I have heard of crime in our city but it has never been this close to where I live!

There's No Place Like Home

Zach and I are officially back in our house. We moved out bed over there on Saturday night and we slept there. We moved stuff all day yesterday and I am one tired Chickie... We got a lot of stuff unpacked and a lot of stuff still left to unpack and a few things that we still have to move from Karmen's... But it is so good to be home!!!

The only bad thing is we don't have internet access at home yet so it is hard for me to read blogs from my iPhone because on Blogger it only shows the most recent two posts from you guys, so today is catch up day and I guarantee you that it will take me all day!

Happy Monday!

Houston we have AIR

Our a/c unit at our house is officially working as of last night! So we are another step closer to moving back to our house!!!

We went over there last night and I just spent some time walking around, remembering what it looked like full of furniture, thinking of ways to rearrange the different rooms... I miss living there and I can't wait to move back! I have enjoye my time at Karmen and Matt's and I am so grateful that they allowed me to live with them while Zach was gone but I can't wait to be back in my house!

There really is no place like home!

more about the decisions

Heather suggested that I put pictures up to help you guys... I will do my best to get some pictures of our living room and the picture that I am talking about with the adirondack chairs and I will also go to Lowe's and get some swatches of the two colors I am looking at and will post again about this!!!

Not sure what I am talking about? See the post below for the details!

decisions, decisions

Ok you guys, I have a BIG decision to make...

I need to choose a color to paint our living room... Zach painted our living room red about two years ago right after I had surgery for my melanoma... I was still on pain medication and was in no mood to argue when he said he was going to paint it red... fast forward a few months and I was officially hating the color... everytime you walked in there it screamed ROLL TIDE at you!!! (ha!) No seriously, it was such a bright color and not something that I would have chosen myself...

so here comes the decision part... I am currently leaning towards green for our living room and then in the back of my mind I still have the longing for the blue that I originally wanted when Zach painted the room red...

We have this beautiful picture of two adirondack chairs sitting in the grass in front of a lake with an American flag draped over one of the chairs... I was thinking a blue-gray would look pretty with the water of the lake... but we are wanting to get new furniture for our living room and we are looking at a brown leather couch and chair and I think the green would look awesome with that AND the picture... I don't think the blue-gray color would look good with the furniture but I really like the blue-gray color!!! I am an indecisive person, can you tell?

I need some serious help though!!! Does anyone want to volunteer to be my personal interior decorator???

Also, if anyone wants to volunteer to fix my air conditioner too that would be greatly appreciated!!! Because Chickie is ready to move back home and Chickie can not live in a hot house... don't believe me? Ask my husband, he will tell you that I am not a happy camper when I am hot!
