Our Bedroom Makeover - Preview

Here is a little sneak peek to our bedroom makeover. I hope to finish it later this week and I will show you the BIG reveal!

Our Trees

We are so excited to see leaves on all the trees we planted out at the land!



Spring is coming! I just can't wait till we are able to plant some flowers out there! Soon, maybe, soon!

Our First Date

March 30, 1994, Scot and I went out on our first date. It is hard to believe that was 15 years ago today!

We were both in our sophomore year at a christian college in Florida. His friend, Vidor, was in the nursing program along with my friend, Connie. We saw each other a couple times hanging out around campus with our friends who knew each other. Scot wanted to ask me out. We had only seen each other around, but were not in the same classes or anything.

Since our friends knew each other, the guys came up with the idea to make it a double date. Scot and I hit it off instantly. We talked as if we had known each other forever.

He was sweet, funny, charming, and just so real. I remember when he dropped me off at the dorm, I knew he was someone special. I can honestly say, in my heart, I just knew he was THE one.

I am so glad that we went out on that first date...look where we are because of it! 15 years later - married for almost 13 years with 4 kids - what a beautiful dream come true! I am so thankful that I get to spend forever with that same sweet, charming, funny, loving, kind, really amazing guy!

Rainy Weekend

This has been a very rainy weekend where we live. Scot and I took advantage by doing some painting. We, (mainly) he, painted our bedroom. When everything is decorated and put back together, I will show you some pictures. I am really loving the color!

While painting, Scot and I had a lot of time to talk details about the new house! It was a lot of fun - as you can imagine!

For the past several months, every time I have seen something that I like, I save the pic in my house idea files. Lately, I have started narrowing down some of my choices. It was great to have pictures to show Scot what I was talking about so he could get the vision too.

As promised, I thought I would start sharing some of them with you. If you are interested in how the planning/designing stage is coming along, check out our home blog to see some ideas we have for the front door and kitchen.
