Some days, you just feel like cleaning

Last night I must have been in a cleaning mood (which I very rarely am), because I decided to go in the bathroom, and really clean it. I cleaned out from underneath the sink, and I even got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the floor. Talk about impressed, Aaron went in the bathroom, and was like WOW! I have never seen this bathroom this clean. So last night I must have earned some points. I have been working on doing better at wanting to clean, and ever since we have put hardwood floors down and painted and done all that fun stuff, I have WANTED to keep the house clean. Aaron now likes to clean the floor since it's hardwood floors now. I do the dishes and put them away every single night, and we make sure we pick up every night (even Hannah puts her toys away). We've kinda made it into a family thing. With a little effort from all of us, it will stay nice and clean. Kids are never too young to start cleaning. Although, I am still trying to work on my side of the bedroom. You can't learn to do everything all at once, right?

I need him in my life again

Me and Hannah are going to start going to church. I think my life would be 100% better with God in my life. I haven't really had a church home in about 3-4 years. I want to get Hannah involved in church activities. I want to meet new people, and hopefully dig deep inside and see how much God can help me to live a better life. I am going to pray everyday that my husband will find God, and that we can go to Church as a family. I think Hannah growing up in a christian home is one of the best gifts I can provide her. I want me and Aaron to grow in our relationship with God and our marriage. I hope everyone will pray that we will begin our new relationship with God.

In Italia o il busto!




Translation from Italian to English means: To Italy or Bust! One of my life goals is to learn Italian. I am so facinated with the country Italy. My short term goal within the next 5-10 years is to go to Tuscany. I have looked into renting a villa, and actually it's not that expensive if you have 3 or 4 couples.
(First Place I want to visit is above...
'Cortona')

The next place I want to visit is Rome. I would live to see The Vatican. I have such an amazement with Italy...I think I may have been there in another life. I love authentic Italian food...I love wine...I love the language...I would love to grow olives...I would love to see Venice. Whoever came up with the concept of using a boat to get to your front door is awesome. In another post I will post some pictures of a couple villas I like, and some parts of Tuscany that are sooo beautiful!

Trying something different




So, I though that I needed a change from the usual blonde highlights. So Saturday I went to my stylist and wanted to be edgy! W e did the blonde highlights, but we also did a shade of red. We didn't go to bright for the first time, but if I decide I like it, then I will go more drastic next time. Let me know what you think!
