The new spread

Here is the new and improved bed. Aaron liked this one much better. It looks real shiny in the picture, but in life it is not that shiny. There was a brown one, but I thought my room needed a little more color...





I love linnens and things. I have not really ever been in that store. I could spend a lot of money in there!

Beautiful Tribute

My sister Celia had this on her blog and I thought it was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. He really was a man with a vision. The picture at his wife's funeral just broke my heart. It really must have been a happy reunion! I don't know what else is linked with this video, but I don't think any of them are good! Just enjoy the main message.

Good Bye President Hinckley

This morning when Aaron called and told me President Hinckley passed away last night I was just sad. This was MY prophet. He has been the leader for as long as I can remember (acting President for President Benson when he was really sick).

He has a wonderful sense of humor and will be missed greatly! He has done so much for the church and we owe a lot to this wonderful man!

I was out vacuuming my car when one of my neighbors came up and said that she was sorry to see that the head of my church had passed away. I told her what a great man he was and that he has done so much for the world! I will miss President Hinckley VERY much, but I am sure there was a beautiful reunion with his wonderful wife. Goodbye President Hinckley.

Too Stong!

David is too strong! The other day I was upstairs folding laundry and I hear this mom, thump, thump, mom, thump thump. I looked down the stairs and saw that David had a whole gallon of juice that he was carting up the stairs because he was thirsty! Man I hope he doesn't figure out that he can pour it. Last night he pulled himself up on the bathroom counter and was playing in the medicine cabinet...I am glad I was there to pull him down.

Here it is!

So here is the final product. I loved the comforter set, but Aaron doesn't really like it...what do you think...I didn't put the bed skirt on or the shams in pillows, but you get the general idea. I am going to Ross, Marshall's and TJ Maxx tomorrow just to see if I like anything else better.

A big empty bookcase.

I think this one looks like it is smiling :)

My other palm is here.

Where have I been!

This week I have been remodeling my bedroom...it looks GREAT! I will post pictures as soon as I get a comforter. I got one yesterday at Target but Aaron is not quite sold on it. I am going to look today to see if I like any better. I painted my dresser, nightstand and bookcase black (thanks Lauren for the paint!) and changed the hardware. Really why didn't I do this 10 years ago! I guess I didn't really think about it and it worked and I always thought deep down that I would get a beautiful bedroom set. Needless to say this will just have to be my beautiful bedroom set for awhile.

Here is one of the palm trees (I also saw these at Home Depot for $10).

And here is my gold chandelier. Really I never would have thought that anything was wrong with it.
