Transformation

I am grateful...

1. For being so organized.
2. That our friends are going to house sit for us while we're at Disney so we don't have to stick the dogs in a kennel and have them be tortured {not cause they treat them badly but because Jake can't handle the change.}
3. Praying for friends who are going through so much. I am able to do that for them because I don't know what else to do. But I know the Lord will hear them.
4. Alyssa being inducted into the very first NJHS at her school! Way to go A!
5. How our bible study spoke to D&I this week.
6. For the gorgeous day we had on Friday, it was so nice out!
7. Friends who make my day by calling me!
8. The long talk we had with A's attitude and how she is working hard to change it.
9. How funny Alyssa is!
10. Chapstick.

Okay here are some photos of the new transformation!
It was decent enough light if I opened up the front door!
These photos make the room seem smaller to me, its a rather large room.
But you get the idea.
And I did take down almost 10 signs! LOL. Even though there are still some on the walls,
I did purge!

As you can see here we haven't gone down the hallway with color yet. We
were pretty much over painting for a bit!

We really like the contrast up in our alcove a lot!

The curtains are growing on me more and more daily. Dayv and Alyssa love the curtains so
we're going to keep them for now. Can you see a peek of the chair! I LOVE this chair so much!

Its rather darker into our kitchen area, so the lighting wasn't that great but I wanted to show that area too! We painted in there the same colors!

I know this is grainy but I wanted to show you the pillows we made!
Well there you have it! :) We like it and feel like it is really cozy now!

Just a few other things:

* I need a haircut really badly. I had to cancel mine to take A to the orthodontics. I go in March to cut and color right before our trip!
* We are now 25 days away from going to the happiest place on earth!
* Lady Grey is my all time favorite tea, I finally found it decaffeinated!
* Dogs riding in vehicles make me smile!
* I hate coffee, you know that... But.. Starbucks is coming out with a new drink and I had it the other day right? It's yummy!!!! It's dark cherry/mocha. Tastes just like a chocolate covered cherry, it is THAT good! Comes out March 9th!
