tis the season, y'all! christmas is right around the corner, and this is the first year that i've actually planned ahead and gotten all of my shopping done! the only thing left to do is wrap the mountain of presents and bake up a storm!

my husband is amazing, but really lazy when it comes to buying gifts for anniversaries and holidays. he usually just ends up just telling me to buy whatever i want. lazy, right? but i always end up getting exactly what i wanted, so i guess it works out pretty well.

this year, i ended up buying seven things in total for both my birthday and christmas. while all of the items are amazing (especially since i bought everything with discounts/sales), the best has to be the woven bamboo walnut floors. yes, you heard me. john let me buy new wood floors for our entire house. not only did we get an amazing military discount from home depot, but my best friend robert is installing it for free! he's already finished the living room, and... let me tell you, it is freaking beautiful.

i'm so happy that we don't have carpet anymore! we have five animals (two dogs & three cats), so the carpet retained a lot of the smell - especially because the little dog has a bladder problem and tends to potty inside. my allergies would act up all the time, and i'd get pretty sick because of the smell. but now the carpet has been ripped up and taken away by the wonderful trash collectors. bye bye, allergies!

thankfully robert was kind enough to also take pictures, so you'll be able to see the before and after looks!

off topic... but check out these videos "shit girls say." it'll make you giggle.
