Happy Monday!

Something to think about this week.

2 Wonderful Years...

Today marks two humbling and wonderful years of marriage to my very best friend! We've grown to understand and learn from each others mistakes... and to make one another stronger and sturdier for a solid foundation together and for our future. I love you with every beaming breathe I take and count my blessings daily to have been given the opportunity to be your wife and partner here on this earth! God is good and we are so blessed. Happy Anniversary Hunny!

Happy Monday!

Go out into the day and be determined to enjoy it!  

Psalm 30:5 says that joy comes in the morning....If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose! When we wake up in the morning, we can't just wait to see what kind of day we'll have..We have to decide what kind of day it's going to be!

Life is full of inconveniences, interruptions and difficult people. We can't control all of our circumstances, but we can control our reactions. I've decided in advance that no matter what comes my way, I will stay at peace today...knowing that God is directing my steps and that all things will work together for my good!

Burlwood

Burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It results from a tree undergoing some form of stress caused by an injury, virus or fungus. It yields a very peculiar and highly figured wood, prized for its beauty and rarity.

I am excited to say we are having a custom bed made from old burl cabinet doors! We recently purchased a king tempura-pedic mattress when our current queen bed started folding up like a taco and burrito'ing us in the middle of the night! We couldn't take the restless and sleepless nights NO MORE

Burl can be an amazing adjective and statement to any room if done right and stained correctly. Here are some different burl species from box elder to maple.

Let's just say we're not keeping it natural or traditionally stained!

Bold & Colorful...

Happy Friday everyone... Here's to a bold and colorful weekend! May you feel inspired by God's wonderful blessings and colorful creations in everything...

Momma's Birthday!

My beautiful Momma has gracefully turned the BIG 50 today! 

Growing up as a kids, 50 meant it was the day of " one " depressed human being realizing that life was headed towards the deep end with no return.. UNTIL ...  I met my beautiful mother-in-law who looks not a day past her twirling-twenties and is a smoking hot patottie!!!

She's the woman I strive to be.. Not one day.... but TODAY~ 

She's beautiful. smart. amazing. sensible. adventurous. driven. spontaneous. well-traveled. athletic. educated. and the best mother a 'girl could ask for! 

Love you Momma! 

  Happy Birthday 

Love you Mom! 

Thank you for being so amazing and such an influential woman and leader in my life! You've taught me to trust God and his plan for my life...to love my husband and wake up daily with a refreshed perspective of how amazing each and every waking second is!
