Y’all Are Officially the Best

When I ask for help you give me help, and opinions (some of them blunt), and i LOVE that. 

So here’s what I have decided. I ordered this one:

Which was overwhelmingly your favorite. 

So i knew i HAD to order this one.

What else I will get is to be decided. I’m making a day trip to Austin at the end of March, and I will be hitting up Anthropologie and other assorted stores. Thanks for the tip on White House/Black Market, KP. Forgot about that one.

I’ll get whatever else I need at that point…I think I need to be trying on things before I order them.

BIG NEWS:

looks like the dc trip is for sure at this point! j has gotten the go ahead from his commander. he thinks he will come here for a few days before the  trip (all of his uniforms,etc. are here) and then we will fly to DC together. he will go back to afghan. from there.

i never expected this extra time together in a million years, and i’m so thrilled.

For those of you that asked about the leaks..

this was us all last week:

How gross is that? Plus the water was super stinky and just disgusting overall.

Now on top of everything else, we have to have our carpet cleaned. Vom.

But it’s sunny and happy this week,

and the leaks have been fixed (i pray). 

Many of you were concerned about me finding the source of the leak, damage caused etc….our playroom/scraproom is actually a porch that was enclosed at some point. so it’s a flat roof, no insulation, etc. it’s built well, but it’s not like a leak in the house, through the attic. And luckily my dad and brother are in the house business, so i knew just who to call.

Sunshine is so good for the soul. Last week was HARD.

It was Harper’s spring break, so no school, ballet, etc.

PLUS jimmy left

PLUS the leaks

PLUS it rained all week with no sunshine.

But the good news about bad weeks is that the following week is bound to be good. And this one is beautiful.

I hope you all are having a beautiful Monday, as well.

And thank you all again for your opinions and thoughts…I appreciate each and one of you so very much!

I’m going to leave you with a layout from the latest Simple Scrapbooks special issue. Look at my little rock star!!
