Paint Job!

BEFORE (not our stuff...)
white white white!!


AFTER
Full of color and life!














This was my first time ever to paint a room. And this was my very first wall. It was a special moment.


And fifteen minutes later I stepped into the paint tray... my first time ever.

So while my mom and I were painting away, what were the kiddos doing??



Aiden was a good helper. He managed to climb the ladders, stick his hands on the wet walls, and even kissed a wet wall. What a kid.


And Sam did baby yoga.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you were apprehensive on picking colors and painting- you are crazy!! The colors look great. I love them. Good job. One day when we get a house, I will have to consult with you.

Okay, could you tell me what those colors are? Especially the chocolate brown and the green. I just think they are SO beautiful.

let's see, the green was called "Green Tea" and I don't remember what the dark brown is called. They're both from Kwal Paint in one of their little pamphlets for... Comforting colors? Sorry, this probably isn't much help. In truth, I just picked a couple colors from the brochure because they already went together.

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

Surrounded by Handsomeness

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
