Hello there! It's been awhile since I have written, but there has been much going on in my life since then. Since my latest blog, I'm please to announce that I am doing well. God definately met me in that place of sorrow and I'm truely thankful for that. There were lessons I definatley needed to learn, and as hard of a situation that was to go thru, I'm truely thankful that I did. I will say, though, as my would have been due date gets closer, the sadness creeps in a little more, but I know that thru God I can get through anything!
Okay, now that my update is done, I had to show you some of the things that I have been doing since that last entry. As most of you know, I'm not a huge cleaner, but every now and then, I get an urge to clean everything so thoroughly! So, that is what I have been doing. I started with the laundry room (which has been a mess since we moved in 3 years ago)! You can now see my dryer completely and you can see the shelve that is above the washer and dryer. It's amazing! ;) I then moved to my linen closet, which was starting to become so bad you could hardly open the door without something falling out. Now that looks so much better, but b/c it looks so nice, I have a hard time wanting to go in there and take stuff out b/c I'm afraid that I will make it all dirty again! LOL Crazy thought process, I know, but I can't help it. Anyway, the last things that I have been doing have taken awhile to accomplish just b/c I really couldn't get them done all in one day so they were spread out over weeks of time. First, the girls
got a bunk bed. We bought it red, though (b/c it was a smoking deal), and since red isn't really anywhere in the girls' room, I had to paint it white. That was interesting and I will probably not ever do it again! But, it looks decent enough, and thanks to their Grandma and Grandpa, both of them got new bedspreads and such for their birthdays. To finish off their room, I put a bunch
of Tatouge stuff on their walls. My friend used to sell this stuff and so she had a ton at her house that she just gave to me to use. I'm so thankful to her for that b/c without it, the rooms that I did would still not be done and after 3 years of living here, I was itching to have them completed! Anyway, this Tatouge stuff is like a rub on transfer to the wall. It's paint, though, so it doesn't peal off once it's on the wall. It will scratch just like paint and the only way to get rid of it is to paint over it. Everyone that looks at this stuff asks if I hand painted it. I WISH!!!! But, no I did not. So, that gives you an idea of how good this stuff looks. When I finished the girls bedroom, I moved to the nursery/play room. To make a long story a little shorter, I basically made the room look like a white picket fenced garden room. It's not too girly, though, (I don't think) and it basically makes looks like you are outside when you walk into the
room. It turned out so much better than I imagined, I just love this room! The last thing I have just completed last week was putting this Tatouge stuff in the girls' bathroom. Their bathroom is themed with salt water fish, so that is what I put on the walls. My favorite part of the room is when you look in the mirror, towards the back wall of the shower. With the shower curtain closed, it looks like the fish are swimming off the shower curtain and onto the wall. It's very cool.

So, that is what I have been up to these past few months. I have more pictures then I posted here on my facebook account. You should check them out b/c I have a progression of the nursery/play room so you can see if from start to finish. It's pretty cool. Until next time. ;o)
