glass half full...

The wine glass, that is! Friday is here, and looking back it's been a good week. Nothing particularly exciting has happened. And honestly I've been pretty lazy... thirty lunges early in the week left my legs hurting too much to make it to the gym! I've spent some quality time with my husband and I've spent some quality time on projects that I've been itching to start. I've managed to sort through all of my photos (non-wedding this time) and have them organized and ready to go into albums. And if I were just focusing on one project at a time, they would probably already be in their albums. But I was so excited about a few other projects that I have three projects partially completed. I also sorted through and organized everything I have to make our engagement/wedding scrapbook. I can't wait to start it! Maybe that's why I'm doing the other projects at the same time....to build up my scrapbook excitement :-) And, at long last, I'm making preparations to get copies of the wedding DVD out to family and friends. We should be receiving the final version soon and can't wait to share it!

Speaking of the wedding, on Monday Jerry and I had been married for 9 months. That seems so hard to believe! With so much of that time spent apart, it doesn't quite seem like an accurate measurement. Stranger still is that in three short months, it will be a year! So much has happened in this first year of marriage. In some ways, I hope that future years will be a little less eventful. But I'm so thankful to be where I am now. Thankful for the life we share and hopeful for a long future together. I'm a sap, I know.

Well, I've given up on us getting storage furniture anytime soon for our DVDs. It looks like it's going to take a trip to IKEA with some people who know Germany better than we do to remedy our storage problem. And I'm uncertain when that trip will happen. So I'm including pictures of the living room, even though there are stacks of DVDS along the back wall. If you look closely, you can see them peeking up behind the couch:

As you can see, we have a lot of photographs on the wall and on the shelves, most of which are from the wedding. It's helpful that our wedding colors (black and red) go so well with our living room! You can also see my sun mirror, a present from my mom when I first moved into one of my places in the DC area. That single piece is the decorative item that to me most makes my house feel like a home. Not only is it beautiful, but it reminds me of Ma every time I look at it.

Here you can see more of the clock collection and a lot more photographs! We have a pretty nice entertainment set up with our big ol' television, video game systems, and of course Rock Band, the video game that even I enjoy playing (I love the drums!).

This is basically the same as the first picture, but here the curtains are open and you can see the amazing light that fills the room.

Here are a few embellishments on the wall in the entry way:

So now you've pretty much seen the whole place. We're settling in quite nicely and it definitely feels like home now!

I recently changed the comment settings, so now anyone can leave a comment here. Before you had to have a gmail account, but that shouldn't be the case now. So please feel free to leave comments!
