Debbie Hodge predicted that I would go digital by the end of the year ... and decided to play & see how it was. I loved that there was no mess to clean up and that it was just about pictures & text. I like that. Still, I love touching the pictures & paper & embellishments & crafting. Don't I spend enough time at the computer already?
Yesterday, on Craig's List I found a sectional & called righ
t away. The family was super nice & we were both happy with the transaction. My friend Michelle & her husband took me over to pick up the big couch & YEA! I love the look of sectionals & have been looking for A LONG TIME~ checking Craig's List 3-4 times a day & reading through countless listings of "great couch, beautiful condition, only 50 years old!!!" Finally, I hit the mother lode. Just what I wanted. :) And the best part of all? I can buy/make cute pillows & they won't slide off!!!This couch is a project-maker though - the wall color & the curtains are very close to the same color as the sofa so we will be painting & getting new curtains. Still cheaper than buying a new couch!
On Memorial Day Scott & the boys played football & then went to help a friend move. He had a little incident with a light fixture & should have had stitches on his leg. A neighbor/nurse fixed his leg with steri-strips so he dodged the ER visit. I was so impressed by our missionaries - they were there on their P-day helping somebody move. Very cool! We have loved Elder Carlson & he loves Jared's smile so he let me take their picture together. He is from Alaska & now is moving on to a ward near Orangeburg. (Elder Adams is standing on the porch in the background.)
And finally, the house... we had drywall put in the basement yesterday - they put it up in 3 hours - the whole basement!!! And our furnace is not working - No A/C & the temps have been miserable. I have been dyingggggg! I am so glad that I was not a pioneer. It isn't really cooling off at night. Thanks for sticking with me through this whole long post.

I think you look fabulous and I know you are very strong. I have always believed it's more about how you feel than how you look. I love your sectional. It fits perfect in that room.
Wow Jenna! You are looking great! You are doing so much to improve your health! Way to go!
Now that our marathon is over (with 3 miles for each of us) we need a new goal to work towards. I noticed though that when we went camping last weekend I felt much stronger and more agile. There are definitely benefits to working out and stretching...you can enjoy regular activities much more!
Your sectional looks very comfortable! Two people can nap on a sectional...we know that now that we have had to trade for 2 recliners and a couch! Have fun with the painting and decorating. Its fun to change the scenery in our homes on occassion!
cool layout (it's really all digital? how? did you do it?) and you do look healthier and happier! I'm sure your body appreciates all the hard work.
nice sectional
yay for A/C
It's really all digital. I did the LO in PSE 5 - the paper, the overlay (white painted border thing), & the flowers are all from CDs from the now defunct Scrapbook Answers magazine. I don't think it is that hard now that I finally understand layers.
Congrats Jenna on getting healthier! I gave up on my healthy challenge since my hubby wasn't in on the idea. I'm going to start working out once we move and I'm no longer lifting Shirley all day. Working out and lifting her was making my knees super tired.
Love the new couch! It looks comfy!
