Come in! Come in!

I felt like my office door looked cold and uninviting when it was shut, so I printed out, framed, and hung this picture of a little bird beckoning people to come on in!

I used a Pages template for a thank you card to get the birdie and his bubble. He was too cute to pass up!

Office Space

Ta-da! Let’s take a peek into my new office…

Pictures are hung and furniture has been arranged. My office is ready for viewing! One of my favorite parts is that I get to use my own photographs to decorate my space. So fun!

A huge thank you to Moma & Shelby for helping me paint, and to Jennifer and Shelby for helping me decorate and arrange. So blessed!

Back! …Sorta…

I got back from my trip to Louisville/Atlanta last night, and I while I don’t have anything major to write about at the moment, I thought I’d share this lovely combination of Taylor Swift’s Love Story and Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida”. I thought it was very beautiful and soothing.

Jean + Steve

Last weekend was a special occasion for my family: we celebrated a wedding!  Jean has been dating Steve for almost two years, and on Sunday they were married.

Honestly, I had mixed emotions, and it was hard to really talk about it with anyone because I wasn’t entirely sure how I felt.  It made me sad because it’s a solid reminder that my daddy isn’t coming back. Even though I know this, it’s not any easier to say now than it was 4 years ago. On the other hand, I’m very glad for Jean, and because I love her so much I want to see her happy and in love again.

It was a small, family-only ceremony, and with this union I now have two new sisters.  I met Steve’s youngest daughter, Esther, on Saturday evening during dinner. And, hopefully, I’ll meet her older sister, Jennifer, in Atlanta next weekend when we all meet up for a reception. To see the entire photo set, click here.

Congratulations, Jean & Steve!

Wolverine Goodness

Shelby, Morgan and I went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine last night, and I loved it! [It made me want to fish out my old X-Men Movies to rewatch this weekend.]  If you don’t like fantasy films, well, you should still go see it because it has something to offer everyone: a little romance, a lot of action, some humor, Ryan Reynolds, and of course, Hugh Jackman. *swoon*

Random question: Anyone else think that Hugh Jackman resembles Clint Eastwood?

Love ‘em both!
