While You Were Sleeping

While I've been ill these past few months, my absolutely wonderful husband has been hard at work. Not only has he been taking care of me, and the daily chores, but he's been a busy bee when it comes to our home improvement projects.

The last few weeks Joshua has taken most of his spare time and repaired and updated the front porch.

(I wish I had gotten before shots!)
 
 
He replaced the few boards that had seen better days, and repainted it this gorgeous emerald green!
 
 
    
 
 
But then he took things the extra mile, but repainting the furniture, replanting the hanging baskets, and adding these lovely sheer curtains! 

 
 It's so absolutely inviting now, I can't seem to keep away! And the curtains seem to keep it so much cooler!
 
 
Thank you so much dear, I love it! I can't wait to enjoy it with our little boy someday soon. :D 


 Until Next Time!

First Real Update as "Mrs."

So here I am two blocks from home in the glorious historic local library with a shiny new library card, writing to you officially for the first time as "Mrs."

My first month of marriage has been absolutely unforgettable! There is a line from "Pride and Prejudice that I tend to quote a lot lately, from the brand new "Mrs. Collins" upon her friend's first visit, "Oh, Lizzie! It is SUCH a pleasure to run my own home!" I can truly agree!

As we were pulling in the drive from our mini honeymoon, the ice storm from Hades hit and we were promptly snowed in for a few weeks. (Well I was anyways, Joshua is a fabulous winter weather driver)

But since then it has begun to warm up slowly, the "Daffs" have begun to bloom and the snow has long since melted.

My sewing room is now complete and work has begun on several projects that I will post about in the coming weeks.

And as for the photos that everyone is dying to see... well so am I... There have been some understandable delays with them, but I should receive wedding photos in the next few weeks and begin sharing them on with you soon!

Until then, do enjoy these "Snaps" of our first few weeks as "Man and Wife."




 
Our first Breakfast at home, GF blueberry pancakes with blackberry jam... since we didn't have syrup...


 
Ice storm as viewed from inside (sorry about the "Through the screen" view... too cold to go out!")

 
First day as a "Housewife" all caught up on chores and enjoying a few moments of gentle knitting

 
Our first official supper at home. Pasta with a garlic sauce and tomatoes, grilled chicken and homemade bread.

 
Mick's first day home with all of us, waiting on "Dad" to get home from work.



 
 
The last of the snow (Mick is very interested in the spring birds... We have since begun learning the word "Heel!")

 
 



 
The sunshine returns and spring begins! The garden awakens and now it's time to get dirt under my fingers again!
 
Until next time!!
