Top 2 Tuesday

Hey!

I'm super excited about this Top 2 Tuesday because I love looking at kitchens. Although, if I actually had the chance to design my dream kitchen i'm not sure what I would pick to do. I love the glass tile back splashes that are so in right now, but who knows how long it would take them to go out of style....

Also a must have for my dream kitchen would be an island with sink and a double oven separate from the range. Since i love to bake these are necessities in the dream kitchen. Now off to the two choices for now, who knows how long I will love these. :)

OR THESE

I love the aqua look!! 

(1)

This kitchen was found on HGTV.com and I love the beams in the ceiling, the dark counters, the giant range, and the island. It is such an elegant look and I love it! I would of course have to spice it up with some color splashes!

(2)

This kitchen is very different from what I would expect to like but when I saw it I just loved the black that surrounds the range. It gives the kitchen such a different look that you wouldn't have expected. I also love the giant island with sink included. :) I wish they would have showed this kitchen more so I could get a better overall view of the room. (found on HGTV.com)

Well it sure was fun dreaming of kitchens, it makes me want to go bake now! I hope you come back and visit my blog. I would love new followers!

Love, Carmen

Games and more!

Hey everyone,

Well I have had a fun filled weekend and still have homework to do for tomorrow but I would rather be on here. :)
These past two weeks have been crazy for school, 2 tests last week and 1 test this week, plus I had two papers due last Friday! I swear they are trying to kill me slowly. But on the bright side this coming week look like it will be a pretty easy week and then I have Fall Break! Whoo-hoo!! Besides the craziness I have been busy this weekend doing lots of errands and having fun.

On Saturday we had to pick up my ring from Tiffany's because it was being resized (and cleaned!!!) and then I got to pick out my birthday present! My birthday was September 9th but we have been so busy and haven't been able to get to the mall and this was the first chance we've had.

From the Paloma Picasso collection.

Me with the new necklace!!

Ignore my ugly hand but my clean ring!!

It actually fits now! Yay!

After that we finally got to pick up our table that we ordered for the new house. Unfortunately they ordered the wrong color and so we decided just to take the one they got rather than waiting and then not getting anything. I liked the dark color best anyways but it didn't match the cabinets. So hopefully we will be able to refinish the cabinets and then everything will look perfect! My little nephew Gavin went with us to the furniture store because we had to borrow their SUV to get the table home so here are some cute pics of me and him!

He wasn't too thrilled about the picture!

Ready to go to the furniture store!

Does anyone know anything about refinishing cabinets and how much work/money it would cost? I want to do it ourselves but i don't know how hard it would be...

After getting the table we had to rush off to the Ranger game with Ryan's brother and wife since they invited us and got us some tickets. :) It was free and a good form of entertainment! They won their game so that was exciting too!

Before the game started.

People getting excited.

The dugout for the opposing team.

Me and Ryan

Kyle and Kaily

They scored!!!

The Dallas Cowboys stadium at night.

The lamp posts at the Ballpark.

For today, Sunday, I went to hang out with my parents and I went shopping with my mom! I got 2 pairs of jeans from Express and I scored a really good deal on them!! I love bargain shopping! Well I hope you enjoyed my picture filled post. I sure had a good time this weekend and thought you would want to see it documented with pictures. Until next time!

Love, Carmen

Top 2 Tuesday

    

For today's Top 2 Tuesday it's favorite songs. I can't pick for all time but i'll choose what i'm listening to now. I have been listening to a lot of country music lately so i'll share these for now.

1. Love Like Crazy- Lee Brice

I just love this song. I think the lyrics are really good too!

2. Stuck Like Glue- Sugarland

I liked the song when I heard it on the radio, but it is so much better when you see the video. It is soo funny. I feel like the song takes on a new meaning when watching the video.

Thanks for reading and I hope you come back and visit the site!
Love, Carmen

New Fall Layout

Well, I am still figuring out how to use Blogger but I was able to find a cute fall layout to put up. I want to learn how to make my own layouts and headers but I think that will come to me with time.

On another note I have been looking around for kitties and I found some I like but I can't get them until I move. :( These cute little guys I want to squeeze right now!

Aww.. Aren't they just the sweetest little things? I hoping that they will still be there when I go to get a new pet.

I don't have anything too interesting to talk about today so i'll leave you with this dress I found at Modcloth.com :

If I had somewhere to go that I could wear this then I for sure would get it. Since purple is my favorite color it makes it even better. 

Hope you had a good day!

Love, Carmen
