Dwayne going green?

This morning I was having conversation with Dwayne over breakfast and he was telling me about a rain water recycling unit we can purchase. He explained that it is a big container that holds rain water and has valves attached with shut-off switches to route water in the direction you want it to go. I know we have had one of those tacky bright blue water barrels before but it was hard to actually collect water in it, plus it was just plain tacky looking! He then tells me that we can have the water go straight to the new garden we are making this Spring. For an investment of $90 we can water our garden for free. This really got me to thinking and I know I don't say this often but Mr. Dwayne might actually have a very smart idea! I guess we are both slowly going in the direction of really trying to conserve resources as best we can. With the way things are going with the economy I guess we all have to do what we can to save money.

Does anyone have one of these rain water recycling barrels? If so, would you recommend it? What things are you doing to encourage green living?

Vent Day Wednesday

Well here is this week's edition of Vent Day Wednesday. We have William telling the world about what is bugging him. The lack of Dwayne and Shelly being in the video is due to the whole extended anniversary thing *winks* Please be sure to leave us your vents in the comments section. Oh, and I do have a vent. Why in the hell does Dwayne have to rock so hard in the rocking chair every time we film our video??!! Ugh, I need some Dramamine cause I'm feeling motion sickness like mad! I hope I don't get whiplash or anything, sheesh!

*sorry this video is a bit dark due to the film crew slacking on the job*

Still celebrating

Is it bad that my anniversary was last week and I am still celebrating it? I don't know what has come over me but I have had no desire to be on the computer and that it a real shocker! Usually you can't tear me away from this darn thing! I figured I needed to post something so I thought what better than some photos of the cutest helper a mom could have. I just love the "old man" smile!! I hope everyone has an awesome day!

It's the weekend baby!!

I know these two guys will be getting into some football action this Sunday. The girls and I will be putting out a spread of yummy nibbles and we will continue celebrating our anniversary. I will post some photos of Will's first Superbowl. Is anyone doing anything special on game day? Please share and I hope that whatever you do this weekend that it's fun and you are safe. Enjoy!!

It's our 15 year Anniversary!!

Dwayne and Sheliza proudly celebrate 15 years of marriage this 29th day of January. We were both only 20 years old with no clue in the world about what our lives would be like later on down the line. We can say that it has been a great big roller coaster ride with many twists and turns, fun times, sad times, crazy times, happy times and a lot of amazing memories. Our choice to get married was not favored by others but we knew we were meant to be together. Nothing and no one was going to stop Dwayne and Shelly from being together!

Check out the looong nails! Hey, when you get your nails done for free, you graciously accept it and move on. My dress, shoes and accessories cost under $75 for everything! Our cake was given to us by a friend as a gift (her mom was a baker). All the food, tables, chairs and the place we got married in was offered up by friends and family.

Dwayne and I did not even want an actual wedding. We wanted to go to the Courthouse and be done with it, but his Aunt convinced us that we had to do it right. Our wedding was done on a $500 budget and I'm glad we did it that way. No Hollywood here!

*If anyone refers to my hair using the words Salt 'n'Pepa or Push it, I will block you! lol!! Kidding*

We honeymooned in the Bahamas (another gift to us) and I really don't know why we were posed like that but something tells me Dwayne made us do it! I would have worn a little dress but it was cold and rainy the whole time we were there. I had to borrow clothes to stay warm since all I packed was a bikini and sundresses. This was the last hour of our time in the Freeport and the sun decided to shine at the last minute!

Everyone wants to know what we are doing for our special day. We will go to lunch, order out for dinner and share some wine and some memories of old times. Nice and simple, just how we like it!
