Our New Digs

A new year...lots of people use this time to make resolutions and renew commitments. Not me. I'm terrible at making and keeping new year's resolutions. I usually have to resolve daily to change things about myself that I wish were different. But I hope everyone out there who does make resolutions, be it yearly, monthly, or daily like me will be successful in all their endeavors!
I've been endeavoring to get settled in this new house we're calling home. Like I mentioned previously, it's much smaller than the house we were living in. It's also got its quirks. The floors are loud and the windows are drafty. It smells funny...not bad, just different than the house I'm used to. But despite all that, I like it. A lot. It's close to the kids' schools and to the dollar store. The convenience store in town has excellent fountain Dr Pepper. I'm content. Would you like a peek?














I thought about waiting until everything looked perfect before I posted any pictures but, really, that could be a while...like never.

I hope everyone is having a great new year so far. Our family is finally getting over this upper respiratory stuff that has plagued us since before Christmas.

Here's to a happy and healthy 2011!

Snapshots of a Saturday

I'm so thankful to be able to say yesterday was just a "normal" Saturday around here. No sickness or other tragic things going on. We went to my step-mom's house to pick up an antique dressing table that used to be mine when I was a little girl. She was sweet enough to put it aside for me and Ron and I finally claimed it yesterday. And while we were there, we had a mini reunion.

Step-brother Kelly and me. I had not seen him in years. And for no good reason. I had missed him and it was great to do a little catching up.

 My wedding was not the last time I saw him, but it was probably the last time we had our picture taken together. (That was over 13 years ago, by the way.)

And then there's this guy. He's Kelly's youngest son. I used to babysit him and his two older brothers when they were just little guys. As you can see, he's outgrown me.

I hope everyone else had a great weekend!
