It's been awhile since I posted, so I figured it was time for an update. Brett is doing much better after having mono and is back at work and doing well. After 7 + weeks we were both more than ready to have him back up and running (okay well, maybe he's not quite running yet, but we are making progress). Nothing super exciting has happened lately, but yesterday, I did a complete "spruce up" of our home. Sarah Officer helped me pick out some great stuff from Pier 1 and also helped me rearrange my whole living room. It came out looking 10x's better than I expected! Take a look...
the before - this fabric was on all of our living room furniture:

the great throw pillows Sarah helped pick out:
the complete look:
this chair was also covered with that nasty fabric in the first picture, and look what I was able to make of it!

...and I thought I was going to have to buy new furniture to change the look of our home. You can accomplish so much with a slip cover and some great pillows. Thank you Sarah, for helping me get a fresh new look in our home!
