Wow. I almost don't know where to begin.
Let's start with thank you. Although "Thank You" doesn't seem nearly enough. As I closed my eyes and hit "publish" on my last post, I was almost afraid to check my e-mail the next morning. Your kind responses have absolutely overwhelmed me with happiness and encouragement. I sat at my laptop and cried outright for a few days. I saved each and every thoughtful comment and e-mail. I plan to respond to each one. As my second family, thank you for giving me "permission" to enjoy my first family. I think I needed that.
The last few days have been wonderful in every way. I can't believe I thought I might have spare time without blogging every day! I am still incredibly busy! But I find myself doing the things I want and need to be doing as a wife and mom. Putting family first just feels right. I can enjoy each moment with my sweet boys.
So much has happened! Our house is coming together. After a week with mr. oopsey daisy home all week {finally!}, every room in our house is finally unpacked and organized except for my craft room. And that's only because I'm actually preparing to paint my craft room. I am thrilled to paint a room in my own house for the very.first.time! The dear sweet paint lady at our local Ace has become my new best friend. I have her on speed dial.
We have been getting A LOT of work done inside our house. My fabulous brother-in-law and husband needed three ladders to hang the light fixture in our entry way. Precarious. Our electrician is my new favorite person. (Second only to the paint lady.) We had lighting wired and installed in every room of the house. All I can say is thank goodness for Pinterest for giving us lots of last-minute ideas for light fixtures!
We are getting plenty of work done outdoors too! We love our back yard and never want to go inside. Hubby is taking such great care of the yard--I find it kind of cute. His dreams are coming true as he is finally building a shed in the back yard. LIttle Man's dreams all came true when he got to sit inside this Bobcat.
I have a lovely raised garden that I just can't get enough of! Just yesterday, this happened! My peas and beans have sprouted, and now I just need to make plant markers for them! I love my garden!
Summer has finally arrived. Little Man loves playing in the sprinklers, helping his Daddy take care of the grass, and just running around outside. Gotta love his farmer's tan.
Remember how I mentioned that I still have a few outstanding "business" posts? Well, there is a great deal on a Silhouette coming up tomorrow. But I just had to check in before that to tell you how grateful I am for each one of you who read this lil' blog. Thank you for everything!
Have a happy day!
