Well, first of all we got our new refrigerator...
And, I didn't like it, so off to Lowe's we went to find another one...
Here's the final selection...
Isn't it pretty? Ha! Seriously, it STILL doesn't match our other stainless appliances, but after three tries to match, we have given up. Word of advice, don't try to match appliances one piece at a time. We got our stainless dishwasher 2 years ago, stainless stove/oven/microwave one year ago, and now the fridge. They change the body styles EVERY year, just like cars. So, even when you order directly from the manufacturer they do not match, even though they assured us it would. Oh well! We are Happy with this last choice though. What a nice appliance we have now. I have NEVER had water or ice in the door automatically in any house I have lived in, so that is really nice. And, our water consumption just went up! :)
When I was pregnant with Kaden, I totally fell in LOVE with chocolate brown. I guess how some people crave food, I had a craving to re-do our house! I thought about what I wanted to do to our old ugly wallpapered walls the entire time I was pregnant.
Our master bathroom was light mint green and white striped wall paper....Uuuggghhh!
So, now it is chocolate brown, like the dining room and kitchen... (I wish I could find my before picture of this room, it was B-A-D!)
I still have not 'decorated' anything. Just taking my time and being happy with the color changes! Ha!
I am so happy with how our solid wood blinds look through out the house. Every single window in our house has these custom cut blinds now. This is our little bathroom window. 
We bought this new bedding at the furniture store when we bought our recliner and dining set, I just fell in love with it. ..
My greenhouse at school is coming right along. I have spent so much time working and planning for that thing! It is slowly coming together, and considering where we started, I am thrilled with the progress.
Both ends are closed in now. The shade cloth is on, and we have plants growing! YAY!
Next week, we will be building tables for my greenhouse plants. And, I ordered a sign for my greenhouse, can't wait to see how it turns out! Please cross your fingers that my/our plants grow quickly. We need to have our fall bedding sale to end of October! Not sure we are going to make it this first time with the late start, but I've got HOPE!
We planted these....
Ok, Megan, this is for you! My Good Samaritian finds from a couple weeks ago...
I found this super cute cross stiched print that says 'LOADS OF LOVE.' I am going to re-frame it and hang it in my laundry room! I also found a cute wooden basket/tray for the top of Lance's dresser for his 'drop spot.' Both things cost $1.08!!! Then, we found the rest at first Monday in Canton.
The three metal hooks are for Kaden's bedroom, and the colors matched his new paint colors in his room! So excited about them!
Also, I bought a jalapeno corer for stuffed peppers for the grill!
And, last but not least, I got these GREAT KADEN metal letters. I am going to use them in his room somehow.
The metal cowboy and little cowboy cut out is of Kaden and his Granddaddy. Looked JUST like them to me! We are going to use it as part of a Christmas gift for Granddaddy. So cute!
Kaden & I are excited about tomorrow being Saturday, we are going to get up early and hit the Good Samaritan sale, then maybe go to trades day again. I am off work today (Friday) and Monday! What a TREAT, and a much needed break from work. I am exhausted! One six weeks down already, 5 more to go until summer!
Ephesians 2 'And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world,among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ(by grace you have been saved.)'
