Today, I want to write about the love of my life. Now, I do have many loves.
Shop - what girl doesn't!
Eat - bring on the chocolate, baby!
Cook - mainly because I like to eat, hehe
Read - especially in a bubble bath
and even -- WAIT FOR IT -- yes, Decorate!
But THIS LOVE is so much more than those loves. I LOVE my husband, Benjamin. I realize that him being gone for one.whole.week! isn't that bad, but I am still in that "my breath gets caught when you walk in the room" or "I blush when you look at me that certain way". You know what I am talking about. Remember your wedding? When you just looked at each other and nothing could happen that could ruin the moment? I hope this feeling NEVER ends....
Okay, sorry, a little gushy, BUT I AM SO HAPPY HE IS HOME!!!, and I just had to let ya'll know. :P

What happened to UNcomplicated?!
As you have noticed, I haven't been posting anything. It is so sad. I want to be able to do this amazing thing, and I don't make the time for it! Actually, I have to do it during my lunch break each day, since I don't have the internet at home, which TOTALLY sucks by the way. So again, I am going to start blogging. I have found some inspiration. Now! I am ready. I just decided to come and start again, and as I was thinking of what I would like to tackle next, I ran into Traci at Beneath My Heart. She is having a Organizing Your Heart and Home linky party during the month of January! Yeah ME! I have a new project. This week is Organizing the Closet! Well, as I was thinking about each one of my closets, I realized that none of my closets are unorganized because I never put anything in the closets. I put everything in my guest bedroom! Can you take a guess at what my project is? If you guessed my master closet, you are wrong! If you guessed my guest bedroom, you are absolutely, one-hundred percent RIGHT!
Now, I apologize for the pictures, because I wasn't going to take any pictures because I still hadn't found my camera cord. Until I was cleaning out "the closet"!!! Yeah ME!!! So here are some pictures of EVERYTHING that was in "the closet".
So ignore, the cords that are hanging out behind the desk, because I don't have any of those valcro-ee things, but instead LOOK at the binders, and baskets that are now all neatly organized!!!
And LOOK at this! My futon is uncovered and can actually be used! Okay, futons are sad items, but at least we do have a place for a single company to sleep...
Hey, we are recently married and are broke, so don't judge me people, because I am SO proud of myself and everything that I was able to accomplish :)
Thanks Traci for motivating me!

NOTHING was in boxes or totes. I was able to put everything in
a total of 3 totes, 7 boxes, and few items went into the appropriate bags.
Hint: Tennis rackets are allowed to go IN the tennis bags. :)
My desk was pilled with junk. This wasn't even the worst of it.
(This is where I found my camera cord!)
That is when I started taking pictures.
Now please remember before you start looking at the next few pictures, my goal was to do this without spending any money. While everything was out of the room, I did paint it a soft gray, but I already had that in the basement just waiting for a room to call it's name. Hopefully, sometime in the near future this room will actually get decorated, but I would like to do my bedroom first :)

Halloween Birthday
My husband and I hate traditional. What is sad is that we are exactly that- Traditional. However, this year we are breaking the mold. We are stepping out. We are becoming new people. We are being innovative. We are not having a plain cake for our Halloween birthday! Okay, I know that it isn't THAT crazy, but we are getting there people!
HOW FUN!!! Now, that is NOT a traditional cake :). I think this will go really good with the candle project I just completed. Again, I can't show you MY pictures, because I still haven't found my camera cord. :( Someday, I will have money to buy a new one, but until then you get my inspiration pictures.
Instead of the Christmas lights in them, I found a few candles around my house to put in each one. That way I have a dual purpose. I have these little guys lining my kitchen window right now. They look (and smell) great!
Benjamin's birthday is October 22nd. We, mhm, I mean, I like to have people over, and I am very excited to try this new cake design I found.

I think with the perfect brown tablecloth and burlap (LOVE burlap) runner, my kitchen and dining room will be decorated just enough for the birthday party next Friday.
Do you have any other suggestions for me?
