Christmas Home Tour | Blogmas #2

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Welcome to Blogmas day two! Today I'm going to be taking you on a Christmas home tour. I've seen these done as a vlog and just love them so I figured I would try to do it in a blog. 


Welcome to our home!


The wreath I made myself a few years ago and every season I change the decorations on it (besides the "D" for Duerrwaechter).







In front of the fire is Lando's favorite spot when it's on so I made it comfy for him. Don't worry the cat bed and blanket aren't close enough to catch on fire.





I bought one of the cheapest garland pieces, folded it in half, and added some lights I found in storage. Looks almost the same but less than half the price!


This year we are starting a new tradition. We bought an advent candle and are lighting it every day together.




Lando has been loving the lights, garland, and ornaments, especially the ones on our table.









Yes, I even decorated the laundry room and guest bathroom a little. I think I bought this garland at the dollar tree (or maybe Walmart?) two or three years ago. I've been using it ever since.






I added my Christmas decorative pillows to the bed in the guest room. I made them myself.



This is Lando's favorite blanket. Ever since he was a kitten he would suck and knead on it. I leave it out year round for him.





I bought the wreath about four years ago on sale from Joann Fabrics and last year I bought two wooden letters and painted them to look like candy canes. I think it turned out pretty nice so I hung them up again this year.




I love this set up. The Noel piece I made with spray paint, wine bottles, and a pizza box! haha.



When I first put the garland on the stairs I thought it looked a little plain so I used some bows. I think it looks even more festive with them on.



In our master bedroom I hung up my advent calendar from when I was growing up. My Mom sent it to me because I was getting home sick about four years ago and I hang it up every year. I have so many good memories with this calendar.




This is the first tree Jake and I ever bought together. I put it in the bedroom because it was too small for our living room this year.


I love that we have a little breakfast station in the bedroom.



Lando making sure he gets in some of my shots of the bedroom. I love him so much. Look how comfy he is in the new bedding!

These are some of the solar lights we bought on sale after Christmas last year.


Jake surprised me with this cat playing with an ornament. It's so cute.
I also love that we can see some of our lawn ornaments from the balcony.


I love how you can see our tree through the front door! Even though lately it has been getting colder and we can't keep the front door open. It's difficult to see in the picture but we also have an LED projector that displays snowflakes on our porch.


Here is the other set of solar lights we bought last year.


Here is the other LED display and the LED candles are light in the windows.




On our side yard we have another LED light show, LED candles in the windows, and reindeer that move! I bought the reindeer after Christmas three years ago half off! I love them. 


I hope you enjoyed my house tour!

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!
