Happy Birthday America!



I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday!

Please remember our current soldiers, as well as past, who have worked so hard for our freedom.

Getting Closer!

Remember in my previous post when I mentioned there would be some changes coming to my blog world?! Well, those changes are near and I am SO excited! We're talking a complete overhaul... including a whole new website you'll visit! I have been working with a super talented blog designer who is helping create a great new blog for me! Out with the old and in with the new! Stay tuned.

Furniture Placement

Here's a peek at some of my favorite space-planned living rooms!

What a great way to make a narrow space work! I'm guessing there's a tv mounted on the wall we can't see...

 Area Rugs define a space... perfect example.

 Classic. Love it.

 Oooo la la! A Conservatory with some beautiful windows!

 I love everything about this room! The rich colors in the artwork pull it all together.

 Doesn't this space make you want to snuggle up on the sofa?

 Modern touches...

 Pretty accents in aqua blue

 Love that fun hair-on-hide rug!

 white, white, white... I'm guessing this person doesn't have kids (or a dog)! ;)

sure to make you smile!

This picture makes me laugh everytime I see it! This is a sorority sister of mine -- her two daughters...

 can't you just read her mind here...

"what's the deal lady?!"

Photos

Recently,  I have found some great ways to display photos!! Check out these fun ideas!

Who needs a headboard?! Just use framed pictures... :)

 I love this look, but I couldn't do this in our house. It would drive me crazy if/when the frames weren't perfectly straight!

 Incorporating letters... love it!

 A clean look... on a canvas.

 On a landing in a stairwell... LOVE.

 Our Master Bedroom...

Potterybarn, of course! :)

Congratulations 1 LT Wobig!

I am excited to share that Tim was recently promoted!!! I am so proud of him! Sadly (and obviously), I couldn't be there but he had a good friend, Major Running, do the honors at the pinning ceremony. Congrats, Honey!

Your new rank looks good on you! ;)

Love you.

Wishing all the wonderful dads a

Many blessings to you all. I am especially thankful for my Dad who is always willing to lend a hand when I need it most... especially within the last 6 months! :)
Love you, Dad.
Happy Father's Day!

Pretty Flowers!

I have been surrounded by so many beautiful flowers lately. And I love flowers, so I consider myself a lucky lady! ;) 

Today I had these bright/cheery flowers delivered to me at work from my mother/father-in-law! Aren't they beautiful?! I love the yellow "Support Our Troops" ribbon! Thank you so much Randy and Lynn! I am so thankful for all of your love and support since Tim has been gone!

And the flowers at our house are all blooming and pretty right now too!

Look at Wilson - what a poser!

 I love red geraniums!

What a beautiful time of the year:)

Lighting Love!

One of my favorite things to do is to look for design inspiration! I thought I would share some neat lighting I have come across lately...

What a funky bathroom fixture!

 Love, Love, Love the new "drum shade" pendant style!

I've been trying to think of where one of these can work in our house;)

 Wouldn't this light be pretty in the entry of a cottage-style or lake home?

I like the lantern style!

 I like these pendants for a mission-style kitchen...

 Another one of my favorites...

from Potterybarn, of course!

UH - MAZING! :)

Tristan's 8th Birthday!

This weekend was our nephew Tristan's 8th Birthday! It was a beautiful day for an outdoor party!

The Birthday Boy!

 Opening our gift...

 A Nintendo DS game

 Sweet Jaxon

 Silly Huston!

 Playing a game of ping-pong!

 Addie and Raegan in the wagon!

 Our belated birthday gift to Huston - a big water gun!

 I'll miss Jaxon's birthday this weekend b/c it's my 10-year class reunion, so he got his birthday gift a little early. I'm sure he didn't mind! ;)

Have a Happy Birthday Jaxon, sorry I'm going to miss your party!

The past two weeks...

Whew! What a great two weeks it has been with Tim being home! We packed so much into such a short time and had so much fun together! Although it was sad to see him leave again, it will be good to get back into my daily routine. Hopefully it won't seem like long before he's home for good - we're just over half way through - yaaaa!

We took SO many pictures over the last few weeks, but here are a few of our favorites. Enjoy!

 Enjoying an evening boat ride at Ginger Woods!

 The unveiling, lol! Tim was very excited to get his motorcycle out from my parents garage:)

 He's all smiles:)

 Doing a little fishing...

 Yes, even the dogs enjoy fishing!

 Can you see the creature just enjoying his view on the neighbors rock?!

 Did I mention that Tim did a lot of fishing?!

 Reeling one in!

 Nice bass Tim!

 We got a different car, a new Toyota Venza. It gets better gas mileage than my Jeep did, kind of important when commuting to Lincoln daily! ;)

 We went camping in Lincoln for a day! I'm not sure who is having more fun here, Tim or the kids... :)

 The girls getting the grill going...

 Brothers...

 Father/Son. I love this pic!

 Raegan is learning to walk! It's the cutest thing ever! And, she LOVES her Uncle Tim!

 Time for a Popsicle, color coordinated of course;)

 Me and Jess!

 Addie's sidewalk art!

 Chris and Griffy

 Jess loves having her picture taken. Can you tell?!?

 Roasting marshmallows...

 Sitting around the campfire...

 Memorial Day!

 Tim and Huston!!

 Cruisin' on the 4-wheeler at the lake!

 Jon, Tim and Ryan at the lake.

Love this pic!

 The cake my mom got! Love it!

So yummy too...

 Dickey gathering at Ginger Woods

 This picture cracks me up!

Tim and I aren't short, but we sure look like it compared to Jon and Jen!!! :)

 Pretty sunset on the lake at GWoods

 Opening the best gift ever from Tim!

 I've had my eye on this coach bag!! What a nice surprise!! :)
I'm a lucky lady!

 So proud of his autographed Suh helmet...

 Around the house...
We made a few changes while Tim was home!

A new outdoor patio set.

 I've had my eye on this lamp, we finally picked it up!

 My favorite change...

framed photos in the master bedroom!

 Brotherly love

 Raegan and I - such a sweetie.

 Tim and Rae Rae - love this pic:)
