Yeah for Good Friends!!

My really, really good friend Lisa phoned me up one day to tell me about this sweet little farm table she found on Craigslist. The table needed some TLC...well, alot I guess according to her dad....but nonetheless she was tickled. Not another thought about it entered my mind till I saw it in our favorite trash to treasure haunt here in town...all fixed up!! Next time I'm going to pay more attention to her! Thankfully, I snapped it up before any of our other junking friends saw it! It's going to be perfect on my back porch! Thanks Lisa!

Do you know where your boys are?

Shhhhh....it's 3:30pm on a Saturday afternoon....do you know where your boys are? I do! Mine are all sleeping!!



Ryan enjoyed his first all nighter with no sleep at the school's achievement award trip...



Jarid went along too...fully intending to sleep, but little did he know achievement award trips are also known as "All fun and No sleep" trips...



Bret too joined the fun at his youth group all night party! He did make it home by midnight...but then had to get up at 6am for work....



And Mike...well, Mike was just flat tired.

Did You Hear The News?

Did you hear that the City of Sweet Home has been named the city with the BEST DRINKING WATER in the State of Oregon?! Way to go honey! If you are ever meandering through our little neck of the woods, feel free to stop by for a long cool drink!

We've Come A Long Ways Baby!

I love my home. I love the feel, the warmth, the colors, the smells (well, sometimes), the laughter, the joy...I just love it. I tell Mike at least once a week how much I adore this place. Quite the opposite of how I felt when we first bought it...

There were many, many tears throughout the FIVE year remodel of this house. Thank goodness for daddies who love their little girls! If it wasn't for my favorite father-in-law, we'd still be living in the middle of dust! But thanks to him, we now have this...

There is still so much to do! Take a look at my creative ramblings for a few of my favorite things!
