Old Blue

We welcomed a new member to our family. 

Meet: Old Blue

1986 Ford F150 and his proud new papa, Mark  :)

What I like about OB:

    It fits in our garage. It has power locks and windows. It has mirrors on the visors. The leather seats. The seat belts.

What Mark likes about OB:

     It's blue. It's a truck. It's a ford.

We both LOVE it.

Yabba Dabba Doo!

Happy 50th Anniversary to The Flintstones!

If You Give A Girl A Blog

If you give a girl a blog, she's going to be very excited to post often.


After she posts a lot, she'll realize keeping a blog is more of a commitment than she realized.


Then she'll probably find other things to do than tend to her blog.


While finding other things to do, she'll probably get lost in other websites like Pottery Barn, The Pioneer Woman and Ann Taylor LOFT.


After looking at the websites for awhile, she'll probably hear her husband say something like "how's the post coming?" or "what's for dinner?"


When he asks these questions, she'll remember to go back to thepioneerwoman.com to find a recipe for dinner.


While making dinner, she will think how cool it would be to take beautiful pictures of everything she cooks and bakes so she can have an interesting blog.


Chances are that if she is thinking about her blog, she will probably want to go upstairs to write a post.


So it goes...
(not like Vonnegut)

blog?

oh yeah, we have a blog...


Today is Monday and I am totally encouraged to post more than once this week.

Excited Hallers

What are we excited about??

A little sunshine + sunglasses...

traveling to a different state (not IN.)  :=)

and just enjoying the great outdoors...

Did we mention that we are going to be doing all of this with ALL 7 of the people in this post?? INCLUDING ARI!! eeeek!

Michigan, here we come!

Feng Shui

So our living room wasn't exactly "feng shuing" (is that how you would say that?) and it was bothering us, so we decided to rearrange a little bit:

It's definitely fenging and shuing now.

We decided to hang Marks guitars (acoustic in other picture) and we love how they look, not to mention reminding him to play for me. :=)  I LOVE when he plays his geetars!

Oh and in case you were wondering, this is what the room looked like at one point...

WHOA! 

more house

The upstairs:

This is the loft area upstairs with our shelves/desk and my awesome garage sale chair. 

This is one of the spare bedrooms that is currently Marks area for whatever. Growing up in a house built in 1901 made me appreciate any and all closet space and all of the bedrooms have walk-in closets. PTL!

guest bath

Our room

The bathroom we painted and did a little work on

I mean who doesn't love two sinks? 

After many weeks of promising posts, I finally put the house pictures up. Hope you all enjoyed them and we love having guests, so please feel free to stop by anytime!
