And Happy Valentine's Day to my Best Loves

  

Happy Three to the Husband and Me

Happy Anniversary to my Love!  Three Years ago today, on a BEAUTIFUL October day we said I do.  I'd say it again without one hesitation. 

Two Friends

I know this is random but it makes me happy and I want to share.  Here's a photo that I snapped with my iphone while walking in the park with the Husband & the Puppy on Sunday evening. 

These two little friends made me smile.  Maybe they will make you smile too.

MCP Project: 52 {week 14}

Here's this week's entry into my year long photo project. 

This the the view I see when I look over to my Sweet Husband's side of the desk in our office.  It's how the work gets done around here.  The theme this week was Fusion.  I edited this photo using the free mini-fusion action set created by Jodi Friedman of MCP Actions.  I really REALLY hope to win the full Fusion action set from the Project 52 contest this week.  I only have a basic understanding of how my old photoshop works.  It's amazing what actions can do and Jodi has a lot of great ones in her shop.  You should check them out.  

Be Mine

Sending out a little love on V-day to you.  Though it's never been one of my favorite holidays I do know that it feels good to love and to know that you are loved. 



I love and I know I am loved in return.  It's not such a bad day after all.
{how can you not love that sweet face!}

Master Bedroom: Before

{Okay, so this post is going to be a bit talky but I'm trying to set everything up for the big reveal on Monday.  Hope you will bear with me.}

I am slowly getting around to photographing the house so I can share my own spaces with you.  My (our) new camera has really given me hope of being able to capture our little house in the woods (i.e. it's dark, people!)  First up is our Master Bedroom.  In the Husband's bachelor days this room was rented to a room mate, then became a guest room.  Leading up to the wedding it became a catch-all storage room.  I'm pointing this out specifically because my sweet Husband is a very tidy guy and likes things put away and in place.  So the following photos come with the disclaimer that though he was a bachelor and he didn't have a designer on staff (yet!) things usually looked presentable.  Okay, now to the photos:

 

What you can start to see is this room is located on the second floor of a cape cod.  The ceilings are sloped but it has two windows that let in a lot of light (it's the brightest room in the house) and a walk-in closet.  Both of these attributes sold me on moving the master from the first floor to the second.  It actually solved all kinds of problems.  None of the bedrooms in this house have an en-suite bath.  By moving the master upstairs we were able to turn the 2nd floor bath into the de-facto master bath and leave the downstairs bath as more of a public/ guest bath.  The room also has more storage and more light as I mentioned earlier.  It has hardwood floors too, which is much kinder to my allergies than carpet (though the room could use a rug, but more on that later!)  

Here's the view opposite the bed where a desk will go.

The closet is just on the other side of the wall from this dresser.  

It was a nice blank canvas for us to turn into our new bedroom.  On Monday I'll reveal where we are now and what plans I have for the room's future.  I leave you with this as a reminder of where I drew my inspiration for the new bedroom.

 

Have a great weekend.  I'll see you on Monday for the big reveal.

My Kind Of Cocktail

My Sweet Husband came home late from a gig the other night with a late night snack.  He shared a little with me too.  I love the cold, sweet, hot, salty goodness of a Frosty and a few fries.

Now that's my kind of cocktail.

Pickin' Punkins

 We didn't see the Great Pumpkin, but my Sweet Husband and I did have a great afternoon yesterday celebrating our two year anniversary.  We spent the afternoon at the Ashland Berry Farm.  We rode the wagon out the far end of the pumpkin patch (or the Back Forty as the Husband likes to call it) and picked out all of our favorites. 

The deal at the farm is that you can take as many pumpkins as you can carry three steps for $20.  Luckily I have a big strong husband that can carry a lot of pumpkins. 

It ended up being a very hot day so we took refuge in the shade while we waited to catch the tractor back.

After picking picking pumpkins the Husband made a stop by the Hanover Arts and Activities Center so that we could stand in the spot where we said I Do. 

It was a good day.

Two

Happy 2nd Anniversary to my Sweet Husband.  It was a perfect October Sunday two years ago that we said I Do.

I'm so lucky to celebrate 2 with you.  Love, love..

Birthday Flowers

My Sweet Husband brought home this lovely fall bouquet of flowers for my birthday.  It's a very dreary day today and I had a hard time finding a spot bright enough in our already dark house to take a picture.  The dreary day is the best gift too.  We haven't had rain in weeks and it's so nice to see a few drops.  Hopefully  we can continue to get rain for awhile.

Happy Monday !

Happy Birthday My Love!

My Sweet Husband turns 40 today.   He's very smart and funny (and a little punny) and has a really good heart.  I love him to pieces.  I hope he has a fantastic day.

How can you not love a face like that!
