SO WHAT! Wednesday





Linking up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew" for another week of saying so what to the happenings over the week!
This week I'm saying SO What if:

  • Old Navy had such a great sale going on, I spent $68 on Chloe! Mostly all size 2t! She's in 18-24m Old Navy clothes now...so those should fit her once the warmer weather hits!
  • I just renewed my Amazon Prime account because I get good deals on books for my Kindle with it....AND, who doesn't love free 2nd day shipping on ANY eligible order?! LOVE Amazon!
  • Yesterday was Valentines Day....and Chloe didn't have a Valentines Day outfit! #Momfail! She just wore a cute little purple dress with tights...she looked adorable no matter what!
  • We have so many things recording on our DVR that The Voice won't record on Monday night...so I have to wait all the way until Saturday to see the Monday episode....Boooo!!!
  • I thought that because Google Friend Connect was going away, that meant bad news for all blogger things, so I tried Linky Followers....eh, don't like it. I'll just stick with all things Blogger. Way more user friendly! So, if you like me, just follow my blog through blogger!!
  • I seriously am so overly excited for my new blog design! I'm on Katie's list over at Loves of Life. She made my zebra one, and I love it! But it's time for something new and different, and I can't wait to start working on it!
Ok, this this has nothing to do with So What Wednesday, but I HAVE to tell you guys. So....we had the inspection done yesterday on that house that we offered on. And then later on last night our Agent called and told us that the bank has already approved the sale for the price it was listed for. So basically all we have to do is give them the thumbs up, and we wait for closing. The house is basically OURS!!!!!!!!!!! You guys, I'm so stinkin' excited, I an't even put into words. Oh, AND to make matters even BETTER....we have a couple coming to see OUR house on Friday to see if they want to rent it. They told us that they will need to move in sometime in March. Um, can you say PERFECT?! Everything is just falling into place for us! I can't believe this!!!! So, there is my good news!!!! Feel free to congratulate us if you would like. :-)

Well, I think that's about it for this week's rendition of So What! Wednesday! Come back next week for more! And don't forget to check out Life After I "Dew" and link with with Shannon for more fun on this wonderful Wednesday!

Our Love Story

Becky over at From Mrs. to Mama is doing the cutest link up for Valentines Day...and of course I just have to get in on the fun. 
It's all about love!! So, here is my love story!
Oh, and Happy Valentines Day!!


1. How long have you and your significant other been together? We have been together for 6 years. Married for 4.5 years.
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?} We met up north while I was at my parents cottage. His best friend was ironically by cousin by marriage. And he had come up for the weekend.
3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell} Married for 4.5 years. July 7, 2007!!
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding?  If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small? We got married on the beach up by my parents cottage. Ceremony on the beach. And we rented a huge tent for the reception and just set it up on the grass! It was a hell of a party!
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share! For the most part we call each other Babe.
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey. There are so many things. He listens to me. He understands me, and he accepts me for who I am and what I came from. We can laugh at each other. He's seen me at my very lowest and worst and he still loves me. That's more than I could have ever asked for!
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal? We went down to Florida for my 19th birthday. He waited until a little after midnight on my birthday. We went to lay in bed, and he started telling me how much he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. And he pulled out the ring and just flat out asked me. Not down on one knee...not some big party, nothing crazy or out of the ordinary. Just us being us. That's all. It was perfect!
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberrieschampagne, and rose petals? He is usually just a flowers type of guy. Sometimes a little more. But for the most part, just flowers. Which is all I ever want.
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch? Well, if we lived near a nice beach where we could watch the sunset...I'd like that. But I'm totally just a relax at home dinner on the couch watching a movie!
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere? Um...well. We've done quite a few things in the past 6 years. I can't complain. I think if anything though, I'd like to go to like Europe or something. I don't know. That's a tough question.
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day. To be quite honest. We don't have any plans as of yet. Not sure if he's going to have his Mom babysit for a bit while we go to dinner. But that would probably be about the extent of it.
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day? I haven't asked for anything. I like to be surprised.
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love. Trust. You have to be able to trust each other. And love no matter what. NO matter what happens, don't go to bed mad. 
14.  Show us a picture of what love means to you. A blast from the past, but this is one of my favorite pics of us. This was taken on the boat up north. LOVE <3

The Monday Real

Linking up with Jess over at Dude and Sweets for
...
This is what I'm feeling really good about this Monday!


I know I'm a little late to this party, but I'm still posting. So give me credit for that. 
Today was my first day on my new schedule at work. 7-3:30 Monday and Tuesday and then 7:30-4 WTF! Oh, my gosh! For one, I loooove getting off work at 3:30 so far! That was a great feeling! I was able to run into Target to pick up finger paints so that Chloe and I could make Daddy's Vday gift BEFORE I picked her up from Day Care! So that felt REALLY good! We even got home in time to make the gift AND get Chloe fed before Daddy got home! So that was really nice.
Now, onto the whole waking up 40 minutes earlier in the morning. Well, it wasn't too bad today. I actually felt really good and rested, even though it took me awhile to fall asleep last night. But I'm sure those 40 minutes will catch up to me by the end of the week. I'll get used to it though. All in due time. I just keep thinking to myself that when the weather gets nice and warm, I'll just have that much more time to spend with Chloe in the afternoon! So, that's going to be SOOOO nice!
Onto Vacations. Husband and I have scheduled our summer getaway!!!! July 13th-20th! We're going to Maine! His Aunt and Uncle have a vacation home that they rent out. So, we're staying there! I'm so overly excited!!! AND...the best part is that our really good friends Will and Cassie and their twin girls are coming with us! The twins will be 3 at the end of this month. And now that Chloe is big enough to actually be able to hang out with them and play at their level, I'm so excited to be able to spend this time with them. We haven't really taken a REAL vacation since before Chloe. Back in June we drove to New York to visit the said Aunt and Uncle. It was fun, and very relaxing, but wasn't a real vacation, per say. So, this....I'm really looking forward to! We're planning to leave Friday the 13th, drive for like 8 or so hours, hotel and then drive the rest of the way. So that's going to be a really good time for us. I think Chloe's going to love it!
So, I think that's about it for this Monday Real. This is my first time linking up for this, and I have a feeling it won't be the last!

Linky Followers

I got a few new followers yesterday via that new little Linky Followers thingy. But I've decided, since I'm using Blogger as my platform, to make any changes to my blog as far as that goes, doesn't make any sense.
So, I just want to let you know I'll no longer be using Linky Follower, and if you have followed me with that yesterday, Please follow my blog address at crystalann86.com through blogger. I'd appreciate the love and support through my blog! I love doing this, and I hope you enjoy what I do!
Thank You so much for understanding!

Chloe girls Old Navy Spree

I love me some Old Navy, and I love when Old Navy has super duper deals!! So when I got the email that all their baby stuff was up to 30% off....Um, HELLO?! Time to go shopping!!!!!  I love the way Old Navy fits here, and it's super soft and super good quality! Just can't get enough of it! Right now she's in size 18-24m ON clothes, so I bought 2T for the Spring Wardrobe...Hmm...I'm hoping she hits a growth spurt so she fits into this stuff. LOL!!


Here's our what we got:
Foldover yoga pants for a toddler?! OMG...YES PLEASE!!!

Bathing suit, because it's just adorable! I couldn't pass up this $10 deal!!

We for some reason love the Hello Kitty stuff from ON. So this little sleeper set was a Must!

I love Chloe in stripes. Well, anything really. But this just screamed out to me. 

Seriously, if I hit checkout without this super adorable jacket in my cart, I would have kicked myself!!!! How stinkin' adorable is that?!

Old Navy jeans are just the best jeans ever for babies. Love them! And these are roll ups! 

I know we won't get it in time for Vday, but it's still cute anyways. :-)

Total for all this was $67.94!! Gotta love a good deal!!!!
