Bathroom Project...

***WARNING!!!*** 
this post is about bathrooms....yucky, stinky, moldy, bathrooms.....
You have been warned! :)

I've had this problem since we moved into our home sweet home-an old bathroom with mold/mildew in the tub. I tried scrubbing-didn't work; I tried the mold/mildew cleaners-didn't work. So I told my landlord there's a problem in the bathroom. Her advice....vinegar....didn't do anything but make the bathroom smell {real bad}!
So I took matters into my own hands and I hope it works. I ripped out the caulking (which is where it was the worst) and just re-caulked it! After ripping and cleaning this is what my tub looked like...
...and that's only one side of caulking...NASTY!
After a lot of muscle power and time the nasty tub looks almost new.
I'm sure the problem goes a lot deeper but at least the exterior looks good! And thanks for listening...er...reading...about my frustration and solution! ;)

House Hunting...


I am NOT a fan of house hunting...at all! It was fun in the beginning hoping, wishing, and picturing myself in a place. And then I got all emotionally attached and things just don't work out. I should have figured that this wouldn't be an easy process because, let's be honest, it's me we're talking about. Things just aren't easy. But that's okay.
I do have to say, it has been a really amazing learning experience in so many ways. There isn't just one place out there and I would rather be somewhere I really am supposed to be. So, let the hunt continue and someday, when it's right, I will have a home to call my own :)

Ole Miss vs. BYU

First game of the season...
Dilema #1...no cable tv.
Dilema #2...Shayla doesn't have a single article of clothing that has anything to do with BYU.
Dilema #3...We are super hungry and neither of us want to cook.

Ultimate Solution.....Target and Iggy's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing we did was get me a shirt to support BYU. Totally found a really cute one too :) Then we headed to Iggy's. The food was great and the game was playing on the huge screen and we got a booth. It was wonderful! Unfortunately, we didn't stay for the whole game. If you don't know Chris he is kinda, sorta...well...he's a die hard BYU fan {not joking}! We went home and Chris found the game on the internet. Watching Chris watch the game was the best part of the whole thing. I'm just glad BYU was able to start out the season with a win...even though the game was quite intense. GO COUGS!!!!
