Best of 2017 and What’s to Come

We welcomed our newest pup, who we are in love with and everybody is happy, ... continue reading...

What our kids rec room looks like now and where we are headed with this makeover. So, the kids rec room...also called the den or the ever so descriptive "brown couch area" (why? all of our couches are brown so this makes no sense). Anywho, it is in MAJOR need of a makeover. Like most rooms in our house, it is dated and boring. This is the area the kids hang out in.

Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend
Saying Goodbye to old friends can be rough, especially when they have been with you for over 16 years. I know I should have updated you guys on this a while back, but this was hard to write. Saying goodbye is never easy. You may remember seeing pics of my girl Jade around. I got Jade the same weekend I graduated from Auburn.
