Hello! I'm finally taking some time for a new post. Things have been going well lately. I've been staying pretty busy with work-now is definitely a busy time of year. It's so hard to believe that I have already been a vet for over a year now. There's a new sitcom that I'm looking forward to this Fall on NBC called Animal House that is about a veterinarian--looks a little cheesy but still fun!
Then there have been lots of little projects we've been working on with the house. Thomas has been building an extra-large desk that we hope to post about in the next couple of days. We've also been spending some time geocaching when we can. Aunt Ruth also just recently visited us for a few days. There are some pictures below of her handiwork while she was here.
Here are a few pictures of some projects we have finally completed. There are still 2 or 3 in progress.
One of my favorite things to do lately is go to the local flea market. There is so much potential there!
For example:
$1 flea market mirror +
a lil paint =
After finding this next deal, I'll never be able to pay full price for picture frames again.
I found frames at Michael's from $12.99 on clearance for $2!
Which really adds up when you purchase 10.
It's kinda hard to tell, but we added pictures of different landscapes we've photographed. Here's a closer look:
Another recent improvement to our home has been the addition of gorgeous curtains. While Aunt Ruth visited, she made us these fantastic curtains that really changed the feel of the rooms-and helped to give them a little character. The old curtains (which came with the house) were very frilly and old fashioned.
Here's a few before/afters:
Our Bedroom:
Office:
And I have to include pics of the crafter and her product! :)
And there you have it. The latest of our life. By the way--the pets are doing well. Rosie is getting groomed Monday, which is long overdue, so I may add a few pics of her new do soon. Biffy and Rakeesh especially love the basement, while Sugar and Rosie seem to enjoy the front porch the most. They have had quite the change in environments over the past few years. At least up here they're not as hot during the summer--our weather has been mostly in the 80's lately. Of course, people here think it's miserably hot!
Please keep in touch!
