Our Life just got a lot more exciting!

A lot has happened since I last updated.

I know I talked about our house that we bought (its been almost a year already!)

We got a puppy! Ruger Joy joined our family in November 2013.


In March 2014 we found out we were going to be parents!
Dusty and I are overjoyed for this little one to join our family!

There are lots of other occasions and happenings that occurred in between, but in the mean time I just wanted to update you on the next exciting chapter in our lives!

I will come back and update on the pregnancy thus far and hopefully be able to stay on top of my weekly pregnancy updates!

When life gets in the way....my blog gets put on the back burner

The Paulson's life just got a little bit more interesting, exciting, and fun; we have bought our first house.

Dustin and I recently bought our first house the end of July 2013. We are very excited about this new chapter in our lives. I hope to share the why, when, what and everything in between. We have painted and are currently in the decorating process.

While July was also a really great and exciting month, it was also a devastating month for my husband and I. At this moment, I do not want to get into everything a whole lot, but with time I am hoping to be able to talk about it a little bit more. Just know that we are healthy and happy.

I am hoping that October is the month that I start writing more on this blog. I honestly missed the outlet of writing down thoughts and ideas and our day to day life. It will be great to look back on some day.

I have a lot of random stuff all around in my head, items on my to do list, but want to add this blog writing onto that to do list and share the random thoughts in my head on the blog.

Days of Thankfulness [19-30]

19 Music: Those days where every song is saying everything you want to. I love that.

20 Short weeks at work :)

21 My cousins who make me laugh and keep me young. I just wish they didn't grow up so fast. 

22 Thanksgiving food!---cant go wrong with it!

23 Our new camera! I braved the crazies on Black Friday and got ourselves a new camera to use on our vacation at the end of the month. I really love it! 

24 My brother, Cody. I don't get to see him often but its always fun when I do. He has grown into such a great young man. Again, I just wish he didn't grow up so fast. 

25 Gym: Its nice to get away and sweat for a bit!

26 Make-up. It helps me feel pretty when all I really want to do is sleep in ;)

27 Sunshine

28  Sweets--I love my candy, chocolate, and desserts! :)

29 Packing: Because it means we get to go on Vacation!!

30 Vacation: Dustin and I and Dustin's parents had a great vacation. I wish it could have lasted longer but it was great to get away to the warm weather of Texas and see the Cowboys win!


I feel so bad that I didn't get this posted in November. We were busy with Thanksgiving and then leaving for vacation the following week. 
There are so many more things that I have to be thankful for and I am grateful every day for them <3. 

Future Baby: Nursery Ideas

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9

When we have our first baby, either boy or girl, I want to incorporate most of these different ideas in it. I love the idea of the alphabet wall or using letters in the room. I am also loving the polka dots as well--in any aspect. 

Of course we have to add in elephants some how as they are my husbands favorite animal. I am also loving the different ways to showcase the baby's name and their stats from birth.

I also love all of these ideas because it can be gender neutral (if we weren't going to find out) and then add in either pink or blue accents!

I of course have a lot more ideas for nurserys, but the alphabet wall and polka dots are quickly becoming my favorite!!

What are your favorite nursery ideas?

Days 14 through 18

14 Pay days: Wednesday's are our pay days at work, so I am thankful for the ability to put money in our checking account. Thankful to have a job that pays and treats me well (which I mentioned on the 9th)


15 Little Caesars: It was a late night, so I am thankful for their pizza.  Also thankful for my husband who didn't mind not having a home cooked meal for supper. (Dustin didn't get off work until 6:45 pm- He is such a hard worker. He is the best!!)


16 Guns: My husband was out of town hunting this weekend. I am thankful that we have a gun to protect myself while he isn't here. While we do live in a very safe neighborhood, I am thankful that there is the ability to have the gun to protect ourselves. I am also thankful that I didn't have to use it!


17 Book Vouchers: Thank goodness I am able to use a book voucher for my textbooks. Otherwise I would have to get 2 more jobs to be able to afford them. {side note: why are they soo dang expensive!}. I'm also thankful that I have the ability to go to school and continue towards my bachelors degree. 


18 Overtime: The Cowboys won...in overtime. How they didn't play well the rest of the game is anyone's guess, I'm just thankful that they played well in overtime. :)
