Hello Friends!

Hi Everyone!
Its been so long again! Well, so far I've had a fantastic summer. Somehow I knew it would be! This year I made a list of things I wanted to do with my Husband. I think I've accomplished almost all of them starting with our new home<3 My Husband and I bought our first home and were loving it! There's nothing like home until you have your own home! I keep using exclamation points but really they're meant to be!
Early in the summer my hubby took me to Disneyland for our anniversary. It was like being on our first date again! We also visited Napa for the first time, enjoying the wineries and local food. We then adventured out to Jenkinson Lake for a weekend camping trip. We were snowed on but it was beautiful! I've also taken up full time volunteer work teaching people about the Bible. I feel so fortunate for the many blessings in my life including my friends and family.

So you may ask where do you find time for furniture? Well the truth is that I have been so busy I really haven't been able to do much, but still has a special place in my heart. My heart still throbs every time I see a yard sale sign or see a great piece in a thrift store.

Right now I'm itching to do a new piece with the new Chalk Paint that every ones raving about! Bobbi has so many beautiful pieces in the shop with the new paint that are gorgeous! Eventually, as the summer comes to an end I'll find the time again! In the mean time my hairstyling business is booming keeping me very busy as well.

I miss everybody and I'll try to stay a little more updated! Hope you all are having just as an amazing summer as I am!
