Making a House a Home Part I

April 4, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Catching up from the weekend? It was a great one! Saturday we spectated at a Triathlon, and yesterday my parents came for a visit!

It’s Monday AGAIN?!? it’s gloomy and windy here, it is supposed to rain later. I don’t mind the rain but hate the wind/tornados that always seem to come with it! I have been busy working on quotes for clients this morning from Disney to Sandals to cruises! Fun stuff! I am about to start LEVEL TWO of the 6 pack in 6 weeks video. No 6 pack yet…I am still hopeful!

As promised, I have some new house pictures for you. Basically, I took pictures of the only clean/rooms without boxes! Everything is still not how I want it…I haven’t been able to buy anything I want for the house (decorations, curtains, etc.) Maybe someday! But this is what I have “done” so far…

Downstairs guest bath

I am also pretty much done with the laundry room. I still don’t have the sink area how I want it, but it’s getting there.

 

we hang our keys on the black key hanger, and I keep my purse up there as well, so when I come home through the garage (to the right of laundry room) I can drop my stuff right there! The girls wanted to be in the picture, too.

This is part of the living room, the back corner that we weren’t sure what to do with!

Bella says hi

it was a beautiful day so I also took some outside pictures…but will save those for another day this week!

The wind is REALLY picking up here. Yikes! Ok I am off to do my workout and get that 6 pack! Have a great day everyone!

QOTD: What do you do to make your house/living space more “homey?”

    That is a sweet shower curtain in the guest bath!

    I’m horrible at making our apartments/townhouses homey. I don’t like putting forth the effort when I know with in the next 12-24 months we will be moving again. I’m too cheap to spend the money on anything that we will only be using for a year (assuming it won’t work the next place). I’ve hung some photos in our place but really, that is about it. Oh, and I’m attempting to keep plants alive…success so far!

    Awesome!!! We just moved into a new townhouse about 1.5 weeks ago and it’s been HELL unpacking! Haha. We have every room unpacked but the two “extra” rooms which basically just have a bunch of junk stuffed in them.

    I just keep reminding myself it’s a process and doesn’t have to happen all at once!

      thats exactly how ours is. the two extra bedrooms (guest room and office) are still quite cluttered, but I can just shut those door and not look haha!

    Wow, everything is coming along so nicely 🙂 I make my house homey by throwing my junk around; kidding! I actually needed my mom to decorate because I have zero domestic genes!

It’s Friday. Jesus is praying. Peter’s a sleeping. It’s Friday.
Jesus is praying.
Peter’s a sleeping.
Judas is betraying.
But Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
Pilate’s struggling.
The council is conspiring.
The crowd is vilifying.
They don’t even know that Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The disciples are running
Like sheep without a shepherd.
Mary’s crying.
Peter is denying.
But they don’t know that Sunday’s a comin’.

It’s Friday.
The Romans beat my Jesus.
They robe him in scarlet.
They crown him with thorns.
But they don’t know that Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
See Jesus walking to Calvary.
His blood dripping.
His body stumbling.
And his spirit’s burdened.
But you see, it’s only Friday.
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The world’s winning.
People are sinning.
And evil’s grinning.

It’s Friday.
The soldiers nail my Savior’s hands to the cross.
They nail my Savior’s feet to the cross.
And then they raise him up next to criminals.

It’s Friday.
But let me tell you something,
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The disciples are questioning.
What has happened to their King.
And the Pharisees are celebrating
That their scheming has been achieved.
But they don’t know It’s only Friday.
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
He’s hanging on the cross.
Feeling forsaken by his Father.
Left alone and dying.
Can nobody save him?
Ooooh It’s Friday.
But Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The earth trembles.
The sky grows dark.
My King yields his spirit.
It’s Friday.
Hope is lost.
Death has won.
Sin has conquered and Satan’s just a laughin’.

It’s Friday.
Jesus is buried.
A soldier stands guard.
And a rock is rolled into place.
But it’s Friday. It is only Friday.
Sunday is a comin’! ☀️

For spring break we headed to South Louisiana to v For spring break we headed to South Louisiana to visit family, and it was the peaceful, non hurried time I didn’t know I needed. 

We fished, collected chicken eggs, rode golf carts, had target practice, went for walks, played games, danced, laughed, stayed up late, and watched the sunrise. EK lived her best country girl life, casting like a pro and learning how to unhook the fish. She hung out in the chicken coop, and stayed outside all day long. ☀️❤️

One day we had a mini family reunion and were blessed with perfect weather. I wanted to slow down time and make it last longer, but it just means we have to do it again. 🥰 So thankful for so much love in my life!
