favorite things....

Every so often I thought I would post some of my favorite things just because...

So we start today with the ever popular

Jewelry. YAY!

This little treasure is an antique or a vintage ring (I don't have an exact date)I have always wanted a blue ring and this one is soo girly I love it!. Plus it goes great with some bands you could wear it as an e-ring if you wanted. If the stone looks a little worn, that is because it is! But I adore that color blue...isn't it dreamy.

Enjoy!

Sad, isn't it. :( Well it's crunch time and he pretty much spends all his free time like this. So anyone who can, we would love your help! Text or give him a call!

We plan to make it up to you sweetie!

Heck, we aren't even celebrating Valentine's day till March 14th that's how crazy it is.

And because we couldn't end this post without a Gabi pic...here she is dressed up like daddy.


We love you!! Thanks for being a wonderful Hubby and Daddy!

25 things about yours truly...

I thought I would also post this on my blog in case some of you are not on Facebook. :) Enjoy.

1. I love love love LOVE jewelry.

2. I use LOL, :) , ROFL, and !! way too much for my own good.

3. I love to laugh.

4. I am not the best at keeping up friendships or making new ones, but I am trying to do better.

5. I have a love/hate relationship with my curly hair and exercising

6. I was born at 25.5 weeks and weighed 1.15oz. I’m here because I’m a fighter!

7. I love to take pictures, although sometimes I need reminding to bring my camera!

8. I am a procrastinator but I like to make “to do” lists.

9. I love music and play 4 instruments. (I play more but not as well.)

10. I like to dance while I clean. BTW- salsa music is the best to clean to.

11. I don’t have favorite things like colors, food, music etc. For the most part it is always changing.

12. I love to teach music and my dream is to finish up my degree and teach strings.

13. I tend to do way too much research on things.

14. Sometimes I wish my siblings were closer to me in age, it’s lonely at the top!

15. I love to travel even if it’s just a short trip. Although getting to use my passport is the best!

16. My husband is a sweetheart and I wonder every day why he chose me.

17. I hate baths, I am a shower gal all the way. I especially love those nice big steam showers…ahhh

18. I’ve never been much of a public speaker, journal, or blog writer, I think it’s because I don’t think I would have anything interesting to say. I always think I have to say something profound.

19. I love to try new foods and new restaurants.

20. I have always regretted never learning to speak Spanish well.

21. I am always mistaken for, Italian, or from somewhere in the Middle East or surrounding areas. No one ever says Mexican, which I think is hilarious.

22. I am way too sarcastic for my own good and it gets me in to trouble sometimes.

23. I love classic designs in decorating and fashion, but with a twist. How to pull that off, I am still figuring it out!

24. I never knew you could love your kids so much and that they could drive you so crazy at the same time.

25. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook and try new recipes. Gas ranges are the only way to go!!

25.1 In case you didn’t know this my husband and I have our own show on TV maybe you heard of it….The King of Queens….It’s us all the way.
