Anniversary Present to Ourselves

Jason and I just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. Every few years or so, we forfeit anniversary presents and redo our bedroom. This year was a year for that. We had grown tired of the sage green leaves we have had since before we left Florida 3-1/2 years ago. We went with something TOTALLY different, warm and rich with lots of texture. The transformation started on our anniversary and is almost complete! Jason topped it off with a fountain (!) created from an incredible planter/urn. Our bedroom is truly a haven now! (And I haven't gotten the hang of adding pictures to my blog, so bear with me while I am learning!!!)

New Family Member

We have a new family member. Bella came to us through a friend of a friend, who is a soldier deployed to Iraq. Bella is 11 months old and a full-blooded Golden Retriever. She is beautiful and so playful. She can already sit and sometimes shake. She likes to play fetch but doesn't always give up the ball she has gone after. The boys are, of course, thrilled to have her.

Testing 1, 2, 3

I'm giving in and setting up a blog. I just can't spare the time anymore to upload webpages for my updates. With a blog, I can go back to more regular updates and hopefully make the fam a little happier in getting the goods on the boys. So here it is, my first measly post. :)
