I bought new bedding and am not sure how I feel about it. I absolutely LOVED my last bed set. It was a beautiful sage green, but after five years the comforter began to shred. The sheets also ripped too. I'm not in love with my new set, but at least it was relativey inexpensive!

At least the colors go with the apartment. Plus it is only temporary - I assume I will want new bedding in a year or two. Let me know what you think.

Twilight

It's 4:01 in the morning and I just finished reading Twilight. It was fantastic and I plan on reading the second book in the series soon! I also want to see the movie. This is going to sound so stupid, but the book reminded me of my "high school" crushes. Whenever I was around those crushes I remember feeling anxious, excited, happy, triumphant and scared - all at once. It's hard to explain, but there were moments of that all throughout the book. Every girl should be so lucky to find their Edward - someone who is dangerous, beautiful, intelligent, protective, and wholeheartedly loves them.

Baby Wipes and Phone Cards

Today, Meredith and I created and sent a military care package through http://www.treatsfortroops.com/. We participated in their Foster-A-Soldier program, which was great since we don't know anyone in the armed services. Our soldier, Jeremy, is in the Marines and is originally from Texas. He will be receiving baby wipes, gatoraide, a phone card and a Burt's Bees starter kit. I hope Jeremy likes our gift! I also hope he gets to call his wife and kids with our phone card. It's feels good to do some random acts of kindness!
