Spring Fling

Hey Everyone!

I'm here finally doing my monthly post. For those of you who wonder and ask me why I never blog, it's simple. We don't have the internet at our house, and lately, I have not been at my in-laws (internet source) as much because I have been turning this:


and this (our bedroom):

(by the time I thought to take "before" picture, we had already pulled all the furniture out)

into this:





(still need to change the light fixture to match the new room)




(there is a matching plate to the mugs that will hang above this)



and into this:






I had the BEST crew!! My Mama, Aunt Susan, Aunt Kathy, Jenna, and my cousin Mindy all came down to help me! They were the biggest blessing! While Daniel was probably completely overwhelmed by all the women in the house, he handled like a champ, bringing us dinner and even offering to help paint! While I would have handed him a brush and pointed him to the wall to get started, my Aunts and Mama wouldn't hear of it after he had worked all day. Maybe I'm a little hard on him, hehe:)

So, after a week of painting and decorating, I am convinced that I am not gifted with a crafty nature and do not enjoy "art projects". Hopefully, I'll win the lottery and outsource painting the rest of the house:) Yeah, right!

Not much more has been going on here beside wading out the storms and rain. It has flooded! We left our wheel barrel out in the yard for the past couple of weeks (by mistake, but it makes a great rain gauge...I know, redneck) and it is almost full of rain water.

So, besides looking forward to Summer days full of sun (and sunscreen, of course!) the pool, beach, lake, and weddings (go Jen and Annie!!), not much has been going on. My Chick-fil-A just closed down last night for a month for remodeling. I will be working a little here and there but not much until we re-open at the end of April. I guess I can work on getting more freckles in the mean time:)
