Christmas 2014- Wish List.

Christmas is right around the corner, so I came up with my wish list for 2014!





1. Kate Spade "Mrs" Necklace. I have been wanting this since we got married. I really hope I get this for Christmas or before we do our wedding pictures at least! Only $78!

2. Tiffany & Co. Infinity ring. I love love love rings. I would cry a little if this was under the tree for me! I love how simple it is!

3. Juicy Couture cheetah print bag. This is the 2nd year in a row that I am asking for this bag! I love cheetah print, and this will go with basically anything I wear. Even though I already have about 100 purses, I promise I will treat this one nicer than all of them!(maybe).

4. Rock Revival jeans. I love these jeans, but I would feel so guilty if I spent $160 on a pair of jeans for myself, so I am hoping that I get to unwrap a pair of these baby's from someone else! Plus, I'm in desperate need of new jeans.

5. Rose Gold Fossil watch. This should actually be no.1. I really want this watch. I have always loved fossil watches, and rose gold is the most perfect color for me! I'll send this one on over to my parents, and cross my fingers.

6. Harry Potter complete DVD Box set. Okay, don't judge me. I love Harry Potter, and I want my future kids to enjoy this series as well! This is a perfect cheap little gift for me. These movies never get old!

7. Night Perfume by Victoria's Secret. Smells like a little piece of heaven so I want to spray it on myself all the time,  not just when I'm in the store.

8. Target Charcoal Bed Bench.  I love the way bed benches look. I think this would look great and fit very well in our bedroom. It's only $100, so I'm really hoping this piece of furniture is mine on December 25th!

9. Naked 2 Eye pallet by Urban Decay. I like to look pretty with make up on my eyes, and I absolutely adore these colors. I hear that these pallets last a long time to!

10. Decorative pillows, I have a weird thing for them. So this would be an ideal cheap give for yours truly! I will really need some if I get #8 too!(:

My wish list isn't out of control and its very affordable. I better get every little thing on this list, or I'm gonna be a real Grinch this Christmas. Just Kidding, I would totally be happy with anything I get, these are just my favs!

Not sure how we are doing it,

But I cannot do it anymore.

At first I was like.. Hmm, maybe we can do without for just a couple weeks. By January I will get it. The Holiday's are coming up and I want to save every penny so my family can get really good gifts! It was easy the first couple days, maybe even the week. We were so busy with the new apartment, and the new car, and I was doing school at work so we barely noticed it.

but now.. I  NEED INTERNET.

For some dumb unknown reason I held off on getting internet in our new apartment, but I can't go any longer without it. Of course, now I have to wait until the 2nd of December for the modem to actually get here, but ONE WEEK TO GO!

My phone is slow as crap at home now, and barely loads. I can't do school.. last night I was sitting out in the cold at our clubhouse doing my homework. My husband has been complaining that he wants xbox live now. So I ordered it today.

I know this is silly, haha. I am just so happy that we will have internet again. I have no idea how we went that month and a half without it. That will NEVER happen again!

Our Weekend.

It was another relaxing, or... boring weekend with the Failes. But these are my favorite kind.
 

{f r i d a y}
 
Friday night, our friends/ neighbors, Sage & Eishi (yes we do a lot of things with them) asked us to go to BJs with them. At first we said no because BJ's is a little pricy and I have a strict Christmas budget, but... after a couple minutes to think about it, we didn't want to pass an excuse to enjoy some yummy pot stickers and their perfect thin cut fries. 

 


And we certainly couldn't pass up the triple chocolate Pazookie that BJ's is oh so famous for, now could we? Chocolate fudge cookie with chocolate ice cream that has tiny chocolate chips in it? Nope. We had to go. They have many flavors of Pazookies, but I am a chocolate girl all the way.
 

 
After our delightful meal we all went to Wal-Mart.... I know its like a weird Friday night thing now apparently. We just wanted to do a little grocery shopping when it was practically empty. It was almost like Sage and Eishi were roommates.

I had some Errands to run. I needed to go find a toy for the Toys for Tots drive that we were doing at work, and I needed to find some white string lights for the Christmas tree like I promised myself and everyone else that I would. So we went to Ross, they have a huge area with toys that are brand new, just a little cheaper than anywhere else we would have gone. Then we went to Walmart... Yes that place again, to get the string lights and an "over the door hook" for our wreath. I still don't know the name for that little thing. Here's a picture of our faces, just in case you forgot. Yeah, I wear cheetah print quite often.


 
For lunch we tried out this place near our house, Rachel's Kitchen. Let me tell you. This was an amazing Turkey Avocado sandwich with sweet potato fries (My favorite fries of all time). Definitely going to make this place a regular for us.

 
You know how before I mentioned how happy rain makes me? Yeah, well you should have seen the excitement on my face when I found out I was going to have ANOTHER rain filled day- and it wasn't spent at work! While everyone else groaned and complained about the wonderful wetness, I was the happiest of the happy!

 
So when we got home from our errands, we added these little bells to our wreath, and hung it on our door. Living in an apartment, we don't have much outdoor space. So my door has a wreath, and our balcony has blue lights hanging from it.  

 
And I finished out Christmas tree. Yep, Pink and Purple. I am so glad that it is finished though. It makes home feel so warm now! I need to go find cute matching stockings, but I got my husband a stocking last year that looks like a riding boot, and he loves it.


I agreed last week that my husband and I would watch a co-workers kids for the night so him and his wife could go have dinner... alone. The baby was an angle. She didn't cry or fuss at all. She ate all her food, and didn't make a mess. I am really hoping my children are this calm and happy. She was all smiles.

 
It melted my heart when she fell asleep on my chest. Thanks for not helping this baby fever, baby! Oh well, I told my co-worker I would come watch his kids again any time!

We didn't do much Sunday. Lots of Laundry (and its still not even done). I finished my school work for a my Com class. We went to Smiths to get some apples that I was craving, and PetSmart to get crickets for the beardies. We had Café Rio for lunch (BOGO) and then Port of Subs for dinner (another BOGO). We are cheap, what can I say. It was a very relaxing Sunday.
