On to the Happy List...
As promised here are the pictures of my *new* sofa. HAPPY!!!
It was FREE!! HAPPY!!
I got a lot of questions about how I got a free sofa. My friend stages model homes for a living. She is changing out her warehouse and moving to a smaller one, so she was getting rid of a lot of her furniture. She sold most of it for wholesale and said I could come take a look and if I wanted I could buy something or pick from the FREE section. I told myself I would never get another sectional, but this one is 6 separate pieces and it is perfect for us.
It's deep and comfy and fits perfectly!
Today I am hoping to have some pictures/art work moved around since the new sofa wraps the whole front room and those 3 little pictures just don't cut it on that big WHITE wall.
I really wanted to paint eventually but it looks like we will only be here until next Spring HAPPY!
My brother Mark's boys are here, Garrett 12, Zachary 10, Brock 7. HAPPY!!! We have been having sooooo much fun!
I found this when I walked into the room yesterday.
After taking this video the boys spent a good part of the day making more videos...oh the hilarity. HAPPY!!

You should have seen Coco she was in heaven as the *star* of each "movie". It is amazing how entertained 3 boys are with a flip cam and free reign.
This was a Facebook post yesterday: HAPPY!!!
Brock 7rs old: "Aunt (my name) I love coming to your house it smells like clean clothes, like when they get out of the dryer but better and you make the best pancakes, and you have a nice pool, and you have room with toys for us even though there are no little kids that live here. I really appreciate that." I am so in love with my nephews.
He has been telling me that my car, my house and me all smell like clothes from the dryer since he was really little. I think he associates that scent with me. HAPPY! I associate clean laundry with my Mima, because she use to take her laundry to a little laundry mat in the home park she lived in and we would spend hours there playing cards waiting for laundry...HAPPY memory.
I hope Brock thinks of me EVERY time he smells clean laundry for the rest of his life.
MiMyMa Summer Retreat MMXI (2011) HAPPY!!!...MiMi and Myya and their kids will be here MONDAY!!!! I can hardly believe the day is finally almost here!! HAPPY!! You can see our itinerary HERE! And if you want to follow our adventure on Facebook you can do that too.
So...what's on YOUR Happy List this week?

Just wanted to say thanks for hosting this Happy List linky. It's so easy to get carried away with life and not stop and think of our blessings or whatever that makes us happy. By you hosting this, it has really helped me see all that in my life. Thank you! You rock!
Glad you are "ok" man accidents are so scary! that huge couch is awesome! i think its so wonderful how much you love your nephews and nieces and welcome them to your home ♥
Still can't believe you got hit by a freaking car. Glad you are ok though.
My hip sometimes gives out for no reason, so we'll look like an awesome gimping pair.
Cuz.
We'll.
Be.
There.
In.
48.
Hours.
Aw, I love your nephews a little bit right now, myself. :)
What a cool aunt you are!
And on an aside....OMG HIT BY A CAR?! That's it, I'm driving down and kicking that stupid town you're stuck in. I am so very glad that you're ok, though sorry that you're in pain, and mostly flabbergasted and upset. Nobody hurts Mamarazzi and gets away with it! Harumph.
I sure hope you are ok!I can not believe someone would hit you! Ugh!
Love that couch. Free is always the BEST!
Looking forward to your posts about the retreat. Fun!
I am freaking out that you got hit by a car! I'm so glad you're ok.
