This weeks Thursday's Three has been inspired by Curious Mess' Cherry Blossom Fabric Bowl. So pretty and unique!
I really love Cherry blossoms. I love them so much I even have a tattoo of cherry blossom branches. We have two huge cherry blossom trees in our front yard. They bloom massive bunches of cherry blossoms the first week of May. I can't wait!

The Dreaded Name Change
Ugh... I really need to change my name (I did get married in August). I've been dreading the process.
There is a fee for getting married ($60 in Oregon). Plus paying the officiant to marry you ($200). And, you would think a free license comes with the whole getting married thing. Nope. They give you a fake wedding license.

To get the real license you have to order online or go in person to pick them up. So, I thought I'll order them through the mail. NO. Its a ripoff. Your first license is $32.50 plus a $12.50 processing fee. Never mind that! I'm going in person. So, that's $20 a license with no processing fee ($15 for each additional).Now, I have to figure out how many I need. Our bank needs one, my other bank needs one, social security needs one, the DMV needs one... Who else? I can't think.Love Me Do Magnet Board by, Polarity

We're almost at our 6 month mark... Hee! Wow, in September it will be our 7th year together. Looking back, who would have thought that I would marry the guy I met at the Dave Mathews Concert in the Gorge? Awww memories...

Tagged by Tina of Pheiffer Photos ... Heeeereee's Chelsey!
Thanks Tina from Pheiffer Photos! This is the 2nd time I've been Tagged. And, since my house is beginning to look like Timberline Lodge (I've never seen this much snow), its a good excuse to talk about me! This time, I think I'll talk about my obsessions...
1st Random thing about me:
I'm obsessed with neat papers. Vintage or new. Whatever. If I love the print, I have to have it. I may have it for months before I even touch it, but I need to have it! Oh, I haven't had a good paper fix in quite some time...
2nd Random thing:
My hubby and I love to rent and watch television shows. Oh, I might show how dorky I am by saying this, but our most recent rentals have been Battlestar Gallactica. Hee. And, we like to rewatch Lost and can't wait for the next season in January. We also love Dexter, Entourage, Band of Brothers, and so many more!
3rd very random thing:
I LOVE Christmas Ornaments. In fact, I have so many ornaments that I only put about 3/4 of my ornaments on my tree this year. AND, I also was in the 2008 Holiday Ornament swap on Swap Bot this year too. 10 more from that. AND, I bought a couple from Etsy, and my work. Oh, I have a problem...
4th Random Obsession:
I LOVE shoes. I need shoes. I buy shoes. I want shoes! I recently bought some amazing boots from Anthropologie, love them.
5th random thing about me:
Teacups. I've collected them for years. I love antique, vintage, or new. Whatever! They just need to be unique and beautiful! I don't use them for anything, I just love to have them around.
6th random me thing:
Birds. I love things with birds on them. I'm just always attracted to birdy decorated things!
In fact, while searching for a photo for this post, I found a birdy purse, stamp, and print I want to buy! I've got to stop searching for birds on Etsy!
7th random thing I love:
Dahlias! I love Dahlias! In fact, I had Dahlia's for my wedding this year! I cut them at a local "farm" that grows u-pick Dahlia's. $4 a dozen. I spent $30 on flowers for my wedding. And, they were beautiful.
So, there's my seven. Normally, when tagged, I'm supposed to list seven more people that I would tag. But, since I've already been tagged I decided to list seven of my favorite Etsy shops! Believe me, I have way more than seven favorites, but here are seven for now!

My Little Boogins...
Today's blog is about my furry son, Angus! He is a long-haired chihuahua.These photos were taken on my wedding day. He was our ring bearer! We have quite a few photos of him on this day because the photographer loved him! He said usually little dogs annoy him, but Angus is so laid back, everyone loves him! He converts everyone!
In fact, Angus is sleeping in my sweatshirt as I type this right now (he is sooooo spoiled)! He loves to cuddle.
Here he is lounging on the hotel bed with my wedding band. Doing his job as ring-bearer. Since my brain was so flighty that day, we forgot to get a photo of him in his ring bearer outfit! He has a bow tie and a tiny pillow that went on his back. So sweet! I love him.Eventually we would love to have him work as a therapy dog for seniors. Therapy dogs visit hospitals and senior homes to lift spirits. We're working on getting him used to wheel chairs and working on his manners before that happens. But, he is sweet and will do an amazing job!
Here are some ways I'd like to spoil my son:

Also, I've noticed that another blog I follow also did a blog about her chihuahua! Funny coincidence! TheresaJ
