I love my husband!

No really, I know it's said a lot but I truly do have the best husband in the world. So I've had one of the crappiest weeks of my life this week...too much work stres...and decided to go to the gym with a friend tonight. We were going to do Zumba (so fun!) but it was cancelled so we spent an hour walking the track. Not the best exercise but at least we did SOMETHING.

So, back to why my husband is so great. He's so great because I got home and he'd been to the store, shoveled the drive, fed the dogs, put away dishes and got me some adult beverages. Not only that, he greeted me with a huge hug and had dinner in the oven. I truly love him. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me (outside of being born, of course) and I thank God for him everyday. Not to mention he's so patient when I have moody spells and nervous breakdowns.

I love you, Shane!

So this cold thing

Is crazy. I hate the cold, the snow, the darkness, the crazy dogs and drivers. Can it be summer yet?

My surprise!

I went to see my sister yesterday and my dear husband purchased a new comforter and sheet set for our bedroom! It's beautiful...I absolutely love it! It's reds, golds, and browns. He said that I did such a great job on the bathrooom he felt that our bedroom should be a better partner for it. Now I'm ready to paint our room....just need some muscles to move our furniture! Thanks, honey!

My top ten list

Here are the top ten things I've learned thus far into my project:



10. It's a lot of fun to update a space that desperately needs it

9. I loved doing it by myself - and I am more likely to finish the project

8. Ask for input only if you truly want an opinion. Otherwise, don't ask

7. Muted colors are my new fav. It's so calming to walk into the space

6. Behr New Drywall Sealer is a godsend

5. Lock the door if you want to do a big reveal

4. Good materials are important...roller fuzz is a bummer!

3. Soft Scrub will get paint off of showers, countertops and windowsills

2. ANYTHING is better than dirty contractor grey - even sealer

1. Start with something you love...then work out
