All White

So they said it would snow....but no one ever believes it because it NEVER does. So when I woke up this morning and looked out the window I was very surprised. It had actually snowed.



It was nice not to leave the house today. And church is canceled tomorrow. When you live in a place where it never snows everything shuts down with a flurry.

This is where Ronnie lives...



Less than a month and I'll get my hubby back.

Confession...feeling a little sheepish...

When I was a tween, I liked JTT, Devon Sawa and Brad Renfro. You would never know it because I would tear out the pictures from magazines and hide them. I never wanted to show that I actually liked these teen heartthrobs. Yes, I was prideful (and I think it also had to do with my aversion to clutter). When I was a teenager, many of my friends liked Backstreet Boys, Nsync or Hansen. I would never put myself in that category and was very apalled by any screaming or gushing over their cuteness. I may or may not have liked a song or two but that was beside the point. Maybe a little prideful. So in my early twenties, when Harry Potter came out, I was absolutely not going to read them. I'm still not, but I have seen the movies. So I have no excuse for my actions this week. Yes, I read the Twilight Series...for the second time...in one week. I guess I'm letting go of some of my pride. But I most certainly will not be a screaming fan....

I NEED to be here...

...NOW!

Happy 2010!

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Years. We are looking forward to 2010 and we have many goals for this upcoming year.

1. Ronnie says he can only focus on one goal this year and it's passing the bar!

2. Get a home! My parents have been so gracious in letting us stay here these many months and we're hoping after Ronnie takes the bar we can focus on getting a place of our own.

3. Read the Old Testament all the way through.

4. Finish my little projects....I have a chair that I've bought the fabric to recover (I've had the fabric since September) and a big pillow for my bed to make (my bed that is in storage now).

I'm sure we'll make more goals as the months go on! There are so many changes (we hope) in store for us this year and we are excited to see what 2010 brings!

In other news....

I've just finished refinishing this lamp. I've been wanting a glass lamp to go in my future bedroom. I found one at Target but when my mom went to go get it for me for Christmas they no longer had it. So while I was in Arkansas City, Kansas, I went to some of the Vintage stores around and found the perfect little lamp. My mom and I bought the new wiring (which they only sell GOLD kits and we had to buy everything separate because I wanted silver) and cleaned it all up. Now I'm just looking for the perfect shade.
