Dyson Vacuums


I first became infatuated with Dyson vacuums when my parents shelled out the big bucks for one of the original cute yellow ones. After using it just once I knew I could never live without one. They are seriously the most amazing vacuums, and I'm sure anyone who has used one will agree.

Fast forward to September 2009. Spencer and I moved into our house, and after borrowing my parent's yellow Dyson just once, I was stuck using an old school Kirby lent to us by Spencer's mom. The Kirby was big, heavy, and ugly, not to mention terrible at vacuuming. I couldn't wait to buy our own Dyson, especially since Tif's parents designated our wedding gift money to go toward it. Unfortunately, starting up our home required a lot of money and we had to wait. Our plan at that time was to buy it on Black Friday. Luckily for us, Target had my dream vacuum on sale that day for a fantastic deal! I made Spencer wake up super early to stand with me in the long line of crazy shoppers at Target. We were able to get a vacuum and get out of the store relatively quickly after it opened. As soon as we got home I was so excited that we opened it up and I vacuumed the house at 6AM! It was such an exciting day for me. The Dyson has been so great for us so far, and I'm always excited to vacuum the house:)

Happy Hour at Sonic


Back in my high school days, Ashlee and I would frequent Sonic for lemon berry slushes during Happy Hour. This tradition, and therefore my trips to Sonic, ended at some point, but my love for Sonic was recently rejuvenated thanks to Tif. Every day between two and four PM (it should really be called "Happy Hours") Sonic offers 1/2 price drinks and slushes. A mere 86 cents will get you a large delicious slush of your choice! Some of my favorites are the blue coconut, cranberry, and lemon berry slushes. Their watermelon and blue coconut Ocean Waters are also delicious. My favorite thing about Sonic (besides Happy Hour) is their delicious pebbled ice, followed by the entertainment of high school kids trying to roller blade around with orders of food.

I figured it out!

I didn't think I could keep a blog because my life really isn't all that interesting. But today I had an epiphany. I will try to blog daily about one thing that I am thankful for. I hope that you enjoy my posts, leave me feedback, and let me know what things you are thankful for.
