New phonesJesse has had his heart set on getting us new iPhones since he heard they were coming out. But since I am such a non-spender, I couldn’t see why we needed new phones. Then my phone died… completely. It wouldn’t hold a charge for more than about twenty minutes. It wouldn’t even last me my car ride home from work. No problem, we transferred the card out of this phone to one of Jesse’s old phones. Only, that phone had such bad reception. I have been using it for about two months, but it wasn’t working all that well, either.

Alright, maybe I did need a new phone. Jesse really needed one too. He uses his for work often and his old iPhone was working, but it was so slow. We finally agreed we would get them for our anniversary. Face TimeThen Jesse set himself a sales goal for the month and decided that if he reached that before our anniversary, we could get them early. Well, that was more than enough motivation for him. It is our anniversary month after all, isn’t that close enough? We both got our new iPhones yesterday!!

He met me at the mall yesterday when I got off of work and he was so excited. He can barely contain himself when we go to the Apple store… and he actually gets to BUY something! Needless to say, we were pretty geeky last night. We were both setting up our phones, downloading apps, and trying out the cases we bought. Such romantic anniversary gifts. He is turning me into such a geek. We are so very happy with our purchases!

Flash Me Friday: Fall Decor

October 1, 2010 in Filed Under: Flash Me Friday 5 Comments

This week’s Flash Me Friday is fall decor. You can join the Flash Me Friday fun too, check out The Groettum Family blog and join in. Come on, you know you want to be nosy too!Welcome

Since we live in Florida, there isn’t really such thing as fall colors. So I like to bring in my own fall color. Good thing I happened to pull out my fall decorations last weekend so I could snap some pictures this morning. I don’t do too much, just a small color splash here and there.  Most of the colors in our house are fall-ish anyway, so a little extra fits in perfectly.

By the way, just in case you were wondering, our walls aren’t really as yellow as they look in my pictures.  They are a soft yellow, but the camera makes our house look neon!

I know that Jesse gets tired of my many fake plants and flowers, but I like them. I keep a cute fall centerpiece on the dining room table, and some fall flowers on both the end tables.

And then, I couldn’t decide if people use a table runner on a coffee table or not. It’s too long for our dining table, so I keep not having anywhere to put it every year. I finally realized it would fit the coffee table better. I think it works.

What does your house look like for fall? Happy October!
