Puppy!!

Hello all! I have some exciting news! First of all, Fancy and I finally ordered our Save The Dates! I'm super excited and I really cannot wait to get them! They're super cute- nice and simple. I really didn't want to spend a whole ton of money on the save the dates (I'd rather spend more on the invitations themselves!). I did a ton of research and found a style that he and I could agree on and ordered a 100 of them for $133.00, shipping and handling put it just over my cap of $150.00 to $151 and change, something I could live with.

This is the template from the website (Davids Bridal) but this is it! I can't wait to get them!!!


Next up, another bit of exciting news! We got our puppy this weekend!!! So ladies and gentlemen... I would like to introduce to you... Jax!

He is 4 months old and is a purebred Shetland Sheepdog and he is an absolute joy. I was actually really worried about my other two dogs and how they would react to the new pup mainly because my oldest, Sulley, was depressed for 4 days after I brought home Brinkley. It about broke my heart. But thankfully they love him! Brinkley tried to get him to play yesterday but Jax was still getting used to his new home and wasn't much in the playing mood. However, today was a different story! Jax played with Brinkley and many times instigated the play!

His favorite spot is under my coffee table. I'll allow it.... because he looks so cute under it. So here is my family

These are my guys and I love them all =]


Now onto nails! (LOL) My Orly mani didn't really last as long as I was hoping but it sure looked pretty- it was a BEAST to get off though! The color came off pretty easily but getting the glitter off was ridiculous. I was actually surprised with how much I had to scrub. I let my nails breathe for a couple days and decided to do my nails today. I went through my Box-O-Polish not really sure what color I wanted to do and came across one of my finger paints bottles that I'd bought a while ago. I hadn't used any of my Finger Paints polishes yet so I decided to try it. It's a really pretty silver polish called "Easel Come, Easel Go!". It went on really smooth and was really easy to control which was good because I broke the nail on my left index finger down pretty low yesterday. The silver looked really nice but I was in a crackle mood so I put my gray crackle over it. I used China Glaze "Cracked Concrete".

Here's my combo! And I, stupidly, did not take a picture of my nails just with the silver on >_< (sorry!) But here's it together

I really hate the lights in my apartment! They all seem to have a golden glow and it's terrible for picture taking but I always tend to do my nails at night so I guess this will have to do. I like the Finger Paints polishes a lot, they dry really quickly and I probably could have gotten away with one coat of the silver, honestly.


Still no go on my order from Amazon.... I paid 6 bucks for shipping!! Hopefully it will be in my mailbox tomorrow *fingers crossed*. Well I have some sleepy pups looking at me so I'm going to call it a night! Until next time =]

Maximum savings

So, those that know me also know that I've really gotten into using coupons and saving money whenever and wherever I can. But today I saved the most in one day that I'll EVER save.... let me start from the beginning:

We recently had to put our 16 year old Sheltie down. Her name was Summer and my family and I got her when I was 6. Putting a dog down is always extremely difficult, but of course I feel worse because we basically grew up together. Along with Summer we had another Sheltie named Bonnie. We got her about 3 years ago as a companion for Summer.

So today my parents, brother, my fiance and I drove to Orlando to see two girls from the breeder who we bought Bonnie from. Long story short, my parents bought both of them.

On the left is Kesha (yes like the singer) ...Ke$ha (lol), Breeze on the right and my big brother in the middle. Now for the huge savings... a purebred male Sheltie puppy could go for up to $1800 and the breeder said she was having such a hard time selling her male puppies that she would give me one... for FREE!

Meet Jax! He will be our newest edition. Justin and I now have 3 dogs! Hopefully you remember our first dog:

Sulley: 2 years old (hasn't he grown into a handsome boy?)

Brinkley: 6 Months (ever seen "You've Got Mail"? It's the name of Tom Hanks' dog in the movie) We got him roughly 2 months ago from the Humane Society. They say he's a retriever/lab mix but he looks more and more every day like he has Irish Setter in him. We think he's a retriever/setter mix.

And now enter Jax: we will pick him up at the end of September. He's our clearance puppy with a grand savings of about $1800! =D what a marvolous weekend!

Hope yours was just as good!
