I have a song! ;)

So I've always kind of complained that there has never been a song about "Tracy". There's Donna, Sherry, Susie, Sheila "Oh, oh sheila I'm guna love you til the mornin comes". Sorry, I just couldn't resist! :D Point is, there's TONS and not enough with "Tracy", don't you agree?

Low & behold, thanks to the 60s satellite station my mom listens to (24-7) played this! It's called "Tracy" by The Cuff Links! ha! This song/video is from 1969! Thank you You Tube! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! ;)

Our New Place {Before}

Today the mister & I got the keys to our new place! I decided to take some photos of the crappy lookin paint job to show the 'before'. I'm so glad we can paint! I could not live with these odd colors. You'll understand when you see them. I love color, but no thanks. ;) This week the mister, plus family members, will be helping with the new paint. Minus me, of course, because I have an itty bitty to take care of! We're so excited to get out of our rinky-dink apartment we're in now and can't wait to see the outcome when it all comes together!

{Above} Master bedroom. Nice big windows!

Other side of bedroom. Pretty spacious.

Our teeny-tiny bathroom. It'll do! :)

This is a little storage space leading to the bathroom. A "linen closet" if-you-will. Definitely planning on looking for more shelving units for this space. Plus some sort of enclosure. We'll need it.

One side of the living room. My little sewing "nook" will be along the green wall. Can't wait for that!!

Other side of the living room. Still have to pan out the details of what will go where on this wall. I do know, however, Toby's bed/crate will go in the corner (about where my mom is standing).

This is the hallway leading to my itty bitty's room. I should warn you about the pepto bismol pink....

And there it is... Pretty bad, I know. Luckily we're definitely painting this space too!

Other side of the "Pepto room". If you notice in the closet here, there's more storage space beyond the door you see IN the closet. Pretty neat.

Kitchen! Isn't it a nice size? It's bigger than it looks in the photo. We're thinking of getting an island on wheels or something. That way there's more storage space and we can move it out of the way when we have company!

Other side of the kitchen. This is where our table will go. We don't have a huge table, so this will be perfect!

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! It's going to turn out so pretty! I'll be posting new photos of our progress and then "the afters" throughout the next week.

Until then, Happy Weekend! Momma's birthday tomorrow & my birthday on Monday so I'll be a busy one! ;)

Those were the days...

Well it seems like many moons ago, but it was actually just about 6 years ago! It's amazing what you find around your apartment/house when you're getting things together to move. We haven't seen these pictures in ages! So when we came upon them, I knew I had to share! These we're taken at the Mister's old apartment in Le Roy.

I love this man with all of my heart!!

(Left) If you notice behind me on the wall here (click to enlarge if needed), yes.... it is in fact a newspaper clipping of Tom Brady. I am sad to report his love affair with the New England Patriots quarterback started WAY before I was even in the picture.

(Right) Isn't he cute? Those glasses he has on were from when he was like, I don't know... 2?! And he still wears them to this day. How he sees out of them, I will never know.

To think, this happened all because of Wal-Mart! ha! Who would've thought at ^^^ this point we'd be happily married 4 years later and then 2 years after that expecting an itty bitty! :) Life could not be greater than at this moment!! :)

Go through your old pics to see what you find!

Thursday Tunes

Vetiver - Can't You Tell by subpop

Isn't this a wonderful summer song? This band is called Vetiver. I recently discovered them and it makes me want to go on a long road trip in the sunshine! So relaxing, I love it! Check out some more music below on some of their older albums! :) My favorite is 'Rolling Sea'!
