It’s Sunday!! Usually my favorite day of the week.. Church, relaxation, hanging out with my husband. Simply amazing. Sadly, my husband left this morning for two months for military training. AHHH. I swear, if I wasn’t so good at being independent, I would go insane with how much my husband is gone because of the military. Such is the life of a military wife, & I can’t complain because I am happy he is still in the states & not gone again for 7 months like last time. Before he left, we celebrated my birthday (I will be 23 this upcoming Friday!!) He bought me my new MacBook Pro ((HAPPY DANCE)). Not exactly what I was wanting for my birthday, but due to recent events of all our computers crashing at once & a certain HP computer we have being gone now for 3 weeks at Geek Squad… My hubby did not want me to be without a computer while he was gone. We have been planning to get a Mac now for about a year and a half & now was the perfect time. I have such an amazing husband, gosh.. sappy moment…
Okay. So, like every other time my husband is gone, I plan a thousand huge projects to keep me busy. I already work 40+ hours a week at my job, but I love to always have projects to work on to keep me super busy & make the time fly. One of the projects I have planned is re-doing our bedroom.. I know we just moved into our new house this past June, but I have never been satisfied with how our master bedroom turned out… more on that later. I did a poll on Liz Marie Blog Facebook yesterday to get votes on bedding. I can’t decide!! Here are the two choices…
Option Numero uno….
& Option number two….

I hope you have a happy birthday! What a great present! I'm sorry your hubby has to be away. thank you for all the sacrifices you make so that he can serve for us. I like the pop of red in the second set, but the first is beautiful, too. I love pottery barn! That bedroom is so sweet.. I have two boys, so I swoon over girl things.
I'm stopping by with the sunday hops, and I am following. I hope you'll follow back. http://homeschoolblogger.com/brindamorr/
Hi there~ I have a Macbook Pro too and LOVE it!!! Macs are the best!! As for your room- I am loving option #2 the best- I like the added pop of color in the bedding. Either one is beautiful though!
@Our Village is a Little Different Thanks So much!! I really love both of them. This is so hard.. I have to make a final decision by tonight, I am making myself! haha. & Thank you for saying that about the military.. it makes it all worth it
& I sit around looking at pottery barn swooning at least twice a day! haha
@Courtney ~ French Country Cottage Thanks girly.. I love the pop of color as well.. & my husband loves that one!! I love my mac but I am still learning.. it's a little frustrating.. haha but I will learn.. Thanks for giving me your vote!
All Pottery Barn bedding is amazing so I completely understand your indecisiveness but I like option #2. I think the coral color adds a bit of warmth. And the macbook was such a great present. Once you get used to it, you will never want to use a PC again. Hope you have a great birthday! (I will be turning 23 as well…a week from Monday
)
Nice pictures – last Christmas – my girls got new bedrooms – beds, paint,and bedding.. They chose their styles and colors… It is hard to believe they are now teenagers with pretty good taste.. it definitely didn't come from me..
Happy Sunday!

@Lauren I know it's such a hard decision!! & it's not cheap so I want to make the right decision
haha I hope I get used to my Mac soon… I'm sure it will be a learning process.. when i went from a blackberry to an iphone.. I wanted to throw it! haha. & HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have a good one.. yay for being 23.. I can't decide if I want to turn 23 yet 
lol
@Kelly L awww I bet a little of it had to come from you
I hear you though.. my mom wonders where I get it from.. That's really cool that you let them pick out their bedding and paints and everything, I can't wait to be able to do that with my future kids someday.. I hope you are enjoying your Sunday as well!!!
Both bedding's are lovely but I think number two is my favorite, that touch of… is that red? Really makes it stand out. And tell your husband thank you for serving our country!
@Elissa Thank you for your opinion! I will for sure tell him
Thanks again for stopping by!!
FIrst of all: Great choice on the MacBook Pro
You will LOVE it!!!
Second: I totally understand how you plan all these projects for while the hubby is gone. Mine is gone a week then home a week for the entire baseball season so I do the exact same thing. Just seems to make the time go by faster

That second one is really pretty…Either is gorgeous, but that second one really does pop like everyone mentioned.
My best friend's husband is also military, and I don't know how you wives (and some husbands!) do it! Being at home without your other half must be so difficult…but I agree that we thank you for supporting your military spouse so that they can protect us all!
I understand that turning 23 must be hard…oh wait..I just turned 30!!! It was So hard for me to leave my 20's. I am still not quite feeling like an adult yet, which made it even more difficult. I will trade you ages?! Oh, and hair. I love your hair! LOL
Happy Birthday to YOU!
Happy Birthday. I like them both. But I like the first one best.
