Look What's FINALLY Done?!?



So, after a lot of mudding, sanding, painting and cleaning...our guest bedroom is FINALLY finished. This means that all you family members and friends that live far away should come visit now...."What?...You have kids?" Well, Joel and I MIGHT be willing to watch them for a night if you come stay in our little guest room...but you better hurry...that offer will only be good while we are childless! Not that you should hold your breath about the prospect of us having kids any time soon....but...you get the point! Come visit us!

House Envy



Do you ever struggle with house envy? I know I do. I am so GLAD that I have a house, but I still feel a tid bit of jealousy when I visit places of residences that I will only be able to live in when I dream at night. So, I've decided to focus on the things in my home that I absolutely love. The first thing is a vase I inherited through marriage from my mother-in-law. It is a glass vase. Last fall I cut some snowballs (that's what we called them in our family, I'm not sure what they are really called) from our yard and dried them. I then took some sea glass I found when Joel and I were in Boston and sprinkled it in the bottom. Lastly, I tied a ribbon I had received on a Christmas gift around the top. I now LOVE looking at this arrangement. It makes me happy...and I therefore have a little less house envy:)
