New Fav

I have just discovered these super cute reusable shopping bags from envirosax! They hold up to 44lbs but fold down to just the size of a cell phone. Brent and I have been wanting to get away from the plastic grocery bags but were not happy with a lot of the bags out there. Now I can't wait to get one of these...if I could only choose which one!!

TOOLS!!!

DeWalt 18V Cordless 6-tool combo kit = Yummy

Now that the house is settled (mostly), I have had a massive craving to get power tools! The idea of getting cheap Craigslist furniture and refinishing it, as well as building a shed in which to complete said refinishing, is a longing I don't know if I can resist :)

My Dream Bathroom

So I have decided to gut my entire second floor to install this FABULOUS bathroom, what do you think? :)

Way, Way Too Excited!

I am just WAY too excited about getting to decorate my new home! (My parents are jumping for joy because I will no longer try to rearrange their furniture when I come home!) Below are a few of the color stories I was thinking about, because everyone knows that blue (every blue!) Is Joelle's favorite color, and I love pink accents as well.

Enjoy! ~Jo

This color scheme is my top fave at this moment

Love that lamp!

This one is great, but a little too pale, maybe with a few cobalt pillows

Love the color of the picture

We Bought a House!

We officially have the contract signed, sealed and delivered! We are so excited to be buying our first house here in Durham, NC and look forward to having people over to celebrate in August!!!

Funny Thing of the Day:

So as some of you know, Brent had pneumonia a few weeks ago and missed an entire week of school. He received a whole stack of Get Well cards from his students, but one stood out from the rest.

Outside:
"Mr. Smith may your medicine tanks and white blood cell soldiers and helicopters win the Mr. Smith War!!!"

Inside:
Battle Plans (stick-figure of Brent with First, Second and Third division attack plans drawn in). "May your invasion to turn your body back to normal be successful" and "Activities to do when healthy - shower, walk, eat unhealthily"
