fiesta!

you know you're growing up when you get excited about household items, such as dishes. seriously!

when shane and i were planning our registry different places before the wedding, i already knew what kind of plates i wanted. FIESTA DISHES! crazy? probably. i mean, for ONE set they are $50 and by set i mean: a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bowl, a cup, and a saucer. but they are by far the coolest plates ever and they come in tons of colors. anyway, thankfully we got 4 sets as wedding presents! i really wanted a set of purple plates (l.o.v.e. purple!) but they didn't have them anywhere. very sad sad day for me. so i settled on other colors that i liked, and that was that.

WELL! last night shane and i went to bed, bath, and beyond to see what kind of cool gadgets we could find and as we were walking through the isle i saw these!

check out that price!!!! $19.42!!!!! and in PURPLE!!!!!

excited would probably be an understatement for the emotion i was feeling. 

we were so happy with the price that we bought both the purple and the red which go along nicely with our other colors. *high five*

once we got home we discovered that these were 4 piece dinner sets instead of the 5 like we have of the others. but no worries, i got online and ordered the needed pieces to finish the collection off from kohls.com and wouldn't you know they were having an online special so they were on sale! i mean, i usually don't get lucky like this so let me tell you, it was nice to experience it for once! 

anyway, boring post, but i just had to share my excitement from last night! :) yay fiesta!

the vow!

‘I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they’re not and to live withing the warmth of your heart and always call it home.’

‘I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love.’

valentines day shane and i went to see the vow. the trailer looked AMAZING and i am a sucker for chick flicks. thankfully i married i guy who is kind enough to see some of them with me :)

anyway, the movie was NOT how i expected it to go. at all! [i will try not to spoil anything for those who have not seen it yet] you are at a SUPER high point at the beginning of the movie, things are going great, they are in love, you have this giant smile on your face. then they get in a car accident...which of course you know (from the trailers) that she looses her memory and they have to start at point A again. well...from that point you get sad and depressed and just keep getting lower and lower and then a moment will happen and you'll get happy but then more sad and depressing stuff happens to bring you back down. then at the end of the movie things are somewhat happy but not as near happy as you were at the very beginning of the movie. overall, it was a good but VERY sad movie. it had some WAY cute parts though that make you smile :) and it makes you appreciate that special someone in your life ten times more, whom ever it is...your husband, boyfriend, friend, family, fish, imaginary friend...

have a wonderful rest of the day!

and go see the vow if you haven't yet!
