I can’t really move forward until I send out a heartfelt thank you for all your kind words regarding my previous post. People I’ve never heard from before came out of the woodwork to share their stories and pass on words of encouragement.
Whenever I doubt that I should get too personal on this blog, you ladies reassure and encourage. Thank you!!
While I managed to feed, entertain, and clean two kids all week, I admittedly didn’t get much else accomplished. It wasn’t so much my husband being gone as it was Shark Week. I’m obsessed.
When my husband called tonight to tell me he spent four hours shooting off machine guns, I replied, “Mmmm hmmm…yeah, ok. I wanna go to Jamaica and feed sharks. When do you think we could go?” If you remember, my husband is deathly afraid of them. Sooooo who wants to go with me? 🙂
Unbeknownst to my dear husband, I’ve got another project brewing. It’s a compilation of different features in all these pictures (and then some).
Even without “revealing” the project, I think it’s pretty fun to gaze at some stunning rooms! Enjoy!

I just read your post about your hubs, he is one brave man and so are you. I know you can do this, and if they kids drive you nuts, you can always locked them in the closet and tell them you are playing hide and seek!
I'm in love with your dog, seriously.
Oh, and lovely pictures.

Oh I just love these rooms. I always managed to get myself in some kind of "major" project while my hubby was away and weathered the storm when he returned (ha). Have fun and I can't wait to see what you are brewing up ;0)

Hey,
Finding projects to do around the house is what I do to get my mind off of my husband being gone, Monday thru Friday of every week, to work in a another state. Looks like you'll be keeping busy with your project too. Is it crown molding?
Have a wonderful FRiday!

Glad you are surviving w/out the hubs – shark week is the bane of my existence. And I mean that in a good way. 🙂
Have a good weekend!

My eight year old can't get enough of shark week either. He said he's saving up money to go to Seal Island in South Africa. I even let he stay up until 11:30 the other night to watch Air Jaws. 🙂

Is your next project something to do with beadboard?
Emily @ On the V Side says
I have a "Nemesis" of my own (boxer though, not bullmastiff) you're welcome to borrow him any time for backup! 🙂
Have a great weekend – can't wait to see what project you're planning!

Chris, I don't know about you, but I find that sharing a little piece of me on my blog just opens up the possibility of friendships and heightened support. The blogosphere has some of the most positive energy ever, and it's yours to tap for the asking.
Oh, that husband of yours? Hubba hubba!

I can venture a guess, but either way I love your inspiration photos!
Thanks for hosting. (I loved yesterday's post and wish you the best!)

If I’ve left you this message, you’re a follower of my original blog ~OR~ just someone I’ve happened upon while sending out these invites and that I would LOVE for to come along for the ride! Though I won’t be revealing who I am just yet – until we’re TO and THROUGH the first trimester! Just getting the word out about our new site – further explanation of all the secrecy and what we’re about on my first post. I’d love for you to stop by.
Exciting things going on around here!
