  I've been dreaming of this chair for quite some time. Just ask my co-workers. If they have to hear one more word out of my mouth about this stupid chair they might terminate me from the "lunch crew". You know me...I like a bargain and to say that I got this chair for a bargain would be

I will always remember 9/11. And the impact it had on our nation. I was in my 2nd year of college. I remember being in my apartment and getting a call from my parents to turn on the tv. The first plane had just hit. I was glued to the tv from that moment forward. I never thought that 3.5 years

 I know I told you I would get more pics up of our new concrete...so here it is. I really love the colors. It was exactly what I wanted and then some! It matches our stone perfectly! And I totally love how they made the driveway look like big tiles! Yes, that is Bents sitting in the

Back in 2004/2005, my husband introduced me to a workout program called Crossfit. He started doing it when he was deployed overseas in Iraq and fell in love with it! He came home from Baghdad in the best shape of his life. Because Crossfit gyms were not very common a few years ago...we ended up
