Getting Organized

I'm a pretty organized person by nature, I color code my closets, have shoe racks, and everything has it's place in my house, and world. One of my favorite stores is Storables. I love that place, I get excited whenever I can take a trip there and get new stuff to organize my kitchen closets, etc. I'm pretty sure my hubby thinks I'm a little weird. When we lived in the apartment for lack of space everything wasn't so organized as I would have liked it to be. I promised my Hubby that when we moved into the new house I would organize and clear the "clutter" in our new place. We've been getting organized in the Worley house, and I love it. My kitchen is coming together, the garage is getting emptier by the minute and I have almost made sense of my closets. All of my stuff doesn't fit into one, so I now how 2. Which is kinda annoying to have to go back and forth between the two. It's the little things is life that get me excited and motivated. And Orion is starting to appreciate my over anal, type A personality.

So I know I'm a nerd but, I've wanted one of these for a while.

I love these, they are a cheap and easy way to get organized in your kitchen.

We now have garage shelves, we are well on our way to getting the 2nd car in there!

If I could work any other job than the one I already have, I think I would like to go into people's houses and help them organize their lives, and homes. I'm sure there's a job like that out there somewhere..I just wish I thought of it first. ;)

Collin Curtis Mills

He turned 3 weeks old on Saturday and I got to meet him for the very first time this past weekend. He's a serious sleeper this kid, he loves his naps, and one thing is for sure his big sisters love him more! I had to fight with my five year old niece Jocelynn for cuddling time! She didn't give up easily. He's so cute and adorable! My sister and brother in law have waited a long time for a boy, and you can tell they are totally in love with him. Here's a few pictures from the weekend and Collin's first meeting with Auntie Annie!

We're pretty much all in love with him!! I am 3 times an Aunt now. The list is complete with Collin now. Jocelynn is five, Alexia is almost 3 in September, and Collin 3 weeks old. I can't wait to spoil him along with the others.

Hair today...gone tomorrow!

I just got a hair cut last night, and a color by the Fabulous Tarah Thomas! It's been about 3 months since I've had a hair cut and color; it was well over due! I've been wanting to do something different with my hair for a while, right after I got married I cut 9 inches off. Hubby wasn't excited about it, he thought it was cute when I got home but for the past few months has been begging me to grow it out and not cut it anymore. Needless to say last night was just a trim while I continue to decide what to do with my hair. My sister just got a sassy cut and new red hair color! She's pretty smokin'.

Today I am bored and supposed to be working, but I found this cool tool, and I have been trying out all sorts of different looks. This little tool allows you to try on tons of new hair cuts and styles as well as changing the color. It's fun and it's free! I've been playing with it a little this morning. Here's what I've come up with;

What do you think? It'll take me forever to grow my hair out this long, but I am having tons of fun playing and seeing what I would look like with these new look. For now, I have sassy short blonde hair...which I love.

Happy Hair day Everyone!

Happy Feet!

If you read my blog yesterday you heard me rave of DWTS 100th episode that was coming up. The high light for me last night and my favorite part(s) were probably 2 things! One, Cheryl and Christian are staying and in the competition another week! YES! And two, the group dance that opened up the show. The group dances are truly amazing, I love when they do the group dances. And to see them live is even better, last nights was SOOO GOOD! But, I just had to share this clip of last nights group dance. I loved all the glitter, the dance, and it made me wanna get my dancing shoes on! Hubby was even inspired as he danced around the living room painting! Now, that is a video you should see!



Happy Dancing!

Loving It!

I am loving DWTS this season! I get my dancing shoes on every Monday & Tuesday. Of coarse, I've always loved it you've heard me rave before but, last night was especially good! Kristi is my favorite celeb of the season, I've been a fan of hers since she was on skates. But, my favorite pro dancer has always been Cheryl Burke. She won two times in a row with Drew & Emmitt, she's pretty amazing! She's the best, and I love watching her. She's been out of the finals for a couple seasons now (last season she was paired with Wayne Newton), she's making a come back this year! Last night her and Christian' did an amazing job despite his injury from the week before. Cheryl choreographed a one armed routine so as not to put any strain on his left injured arm! They tore it up, and landed 1st on the leader board beating out top leaders Kristi and Jason. I hope they make it to the final 3! My picks: Cheryl & Christian', Edyta & Jason, and Kristi and Mark will be in the final 3! We'll see if my picks are right! Tonight is the 100th episode of the show and I am excited to see some of my dancing favorites take the stage again!

1,2,3....times locked out!

It's true Hubby and I have lived in our brand new home for 1 week now, and we've managed to lock ourselves out of the house 3 times! This past Sunday was the 3rd time being locked out, at 9am right before Church. We have been very lucky each time to manage to get ourselves back into our house with out calling a locksmith.

#1 was the day after we moved in! We locked out garage the night before and knew we didn't have a key but figured it was fine because we had "working" garage door openers to let us in. So we woke up Saturday morning ready to paint and found out that the garage was locked and the openers didn't work. We couldn't get at any painting supplies, or boxes to unpack because they were all locked in the garage! Come to find out Hubby had flipped the garage power source to "off" the night before and didn't know that was the switch for it. So the garage door openers didn't work. Our good friend Eric came over and opened it with his credit card (some security we have!)

#2 was the same day....I know what you're thinking...seriously these Worley's need to have an extra key. We have 2 locks on our front door a dead bolt that has a key less entry pad on it so you never really need a key, just a code, and another lock that you have to have a key. Well, with out knowing it when we left to go get more stuff from the apartment we were moving out of I locked the dead bolt and brought the key. And Hubby locked the other lock and "thought" I had a key. We got home and quickly realized that we'd locked ourselves out again. Fortunately for us the window to the kitchen was unlocked and Orion crawled through and let us in.

#3 as I said was yesterday... My hubby had come home from doing truck that morning for the church and set the keys in the closet on a hook. Made himself coffee, while I finished getting ready. When we were ready to leave I saw Orion walk out the door with keys in his hand and I walked out behind him and shut the door. I heard Hubby say, "oh crap!" and I knew we'd done it again. Turns out those keys in his hand were to the church truck, not our car keys and house keys. But, hubby came to the rescue again and got us back in the house! We really need to get a grip on this! No more locking ourselves out of the house!

Paint by Number!

Last night we finished painting are long awaited living room. While there really no numbers involved except for the number of walls, we took a break this week from house projects just to relax and breathe from the whirlwind of moving and doing so much all in one weekend. But, last night we finished the living room and we able to put the furniture in the room and set it up. Our living room used to be forest green and a mustard combination. Orion affectionately called it the "big green monster." So last night we tackled the "green monster" finally. It actually went a lot faster than either of us thought it would. After painting our bedroom, kitchen and half of our living room we thought the painting would never end.

We did finish, and I couldn't be more happy to be done. We still have to do some trim spots that are tricky so we have to get smaller brushes, but for the most part we are done! I'm looking forward to a weekend of finally be able to UN-pack more and start decorating! Orion and I both agree we need some color! Right now we're living in a sea of brown paint. It's going to be wonderful when we're all done. It's been interesting doing it all by ourselves, it really makes it seem like "our home" now that we've done all these things to it. It doesn't even feel like the same home we looked at. It's finally ours, and there's no better feeling!

Saturday morning Orion and I will be getting a new stove put in, I am excited! It's funny how all these little things can make you so excited and happy. I feel really blessed that we've been able to have this nice house, and make the necessary repairs that it needs. God's really blessed us, and we couldn't be more thankful. It's something that we needed to replace because the old one is really old, and isn't working the best. When our inspector suggested we replace it as soon as we could for efficiency purposes and so that we didn't blow a fuse and start something on fire, we were like OK Lord; please provide! And he did, and we're getting a new one Saturday. It's a blessing.
