Sunny Saturday

What a gorgeous day it turned out to be. 75 in the middle of November. I just wish we had been better prepared. We stayed up late last night hanging all of our curtains so this morning we slept until almost 11! We debated back and forth for almost two hours on whether or not to start painting the outside of the house today. We finally made the trip to Lowe's to pick up the paint. We got started at around 4... And now it's dark. Todd is still out just trying to get the front finished so it doesn't look totally trashy until the next warm day.
On another note, I was so proud of Afton today. I can lay her down in her bed wide awake for a nap.... And she just goes to sleep! At first I just thought I was getting lucky, but now I'm pretty sure we've started a trend. My baby girl is growing up so fast. :-(
Should we have another???
What?! Temporary moment of insanity. As long as Todd and I can have our moments at different times for just a while longer we'll be ok. I so want Afton to have a sibling close in age but I want to spend as much time as possible just the three of us. What to do...

Day 1!

So begins my blogging journey. I may not have a very interesting life but I do have a lot to talk about. I have a wonderful husband of 3 amazing years. I have an absolutely beautiful daughter that was born on August 7th of this year (she is growing soooo fast). I have a very unique Siberian husky (mischievous, weird). We are currently living in a house that is somewhat under construction and I am still not unpacked. I am a full time mommy to Afton and a girlfriend to my husband, Todd. I love my life, it is more than I had ever really hoped for. God has blessed me so much and He continues to amaze me with his grace and abundant love. I love to take something old and ugly and make it fun and more useful. I'm not much of a cooker, but when I try something new it usually turns out really good. I used to know how to make amazing chocolate chip cookies, but somewhere along the road i forgot how and now every time I make them they turn out cakey or burned. I love to read a good book on a warm day and on rainy days I like to be out and about. Did I mention my fantastic husband and adorable baby girl? They're great! :-) These are the elements that I will be writing about and someday will look back on them and think to myself, "what a dork!"
