Life After 29

Good Evening Fellow Bloggers, Family, Friends!! Today is a wonderful day, for no particular reason, just feels wonderful!! Yesterday, my husband Jon experienced the commencement of "Life after 29" I'll call it. That's right, The Big 3 0, which definitely came much faster than we were prepared to deal with, as we continually questioned "What happened to 20...& 21...& 22...??" He's a REAL adult now, opposed to a fake one or an adult in training, I guess you could say!! We had Dinner at the Mozzarella Grill, one of my favorite places to dine, & the food was absolutely exquisite, as usual. I've been on a seafood kick lately, which, I'm learning, is a bit more costly than chicken & ceasar salad. Well, have a tremendous day. I have an evening of pure fun & excitement planned consisting of tackling three loads of laundry, cleaning out the refrigerator, then grading tests!! Stalling much?

Kenna Hope & Shelf Love!!

Good Afternoon!! Jon & I just returned from our niece Kenna's dedication & reception at Jeff & Danielle's house!! It was a wonderful affair!! Unfortunately, I only have a couple kinduv clear pictures, (unlike my usual collection of 50 or more) that I was able to take via I-Phone, my only picture taking device since my camera's fatal accident!! Instead I will steal...borrow some adorable photos from Danielle's amazing blog after asking her permission!! hehe. Isn't Kenna such a beauty?? Isn't Danielle a great photographer??Also, I have been meaning to post these pictures of a shelf that I've been planning to paint for a month or so, but haven't had the chance, so I figured I'd make this a double post!! It's an old shelf that I distressed & am hoping to make a much bolder shade of something - most likely green, kinda like this, which is why it's covered in green paint chips. What shade of green should I paint it?? Dark, light?? Or should I go with a tan or taupe?? It needs a little more love!! Well, have an amazing week!!
