Show us your life – Kitchens

My kitchen was the first room of the house that I painted after we moved in…I love the light gold color, it just goes so well with all the other colors I love to use.  I don’t use my kitchen  a lot for cooking but it does get used a lot for collecting mail on the bar, microwaving, pouring drinks and lots of things like that! Ha!  So here is a peek!

I had this plate rack forever and never hung it so one day I decided it would make a great display for photos!!

Anniversary, Wedding and Birthday Celebrations

This past Saturday Chris and I celebrated our 11 year wedding Anniversary!  It’s so hard to believe 11 years have already come and gone.  I can’t say that all the years have been easy but I can say that I have an Amazing husband who I am so in love with!  Chris is everything I could ever want in a husband…he loves me with all his heart and is always willing to go the extra  mile to honor me but most importantly he is a man of God.  I am so thankful to have a husband who prays over me and our family.  The last 15 months I have been amazed at how awesome of a Dad he is.  I can truly say that he shares half the responsibility of caring for Maddox…there is nothing I do that he can’t do and Maddox adores him!  I look so forward to spending the rest of my life with him! ( I know you are going to read this so…..Love You Baby!!)

Having said all that, what better way to spend your anniversary than going to a wedding!!  Our friends Melissa and Jordan were married on Saturday and we were happy to be at there ceremony and reception.  Joy kept Maddox all evening and then he spent the night with her so Chris and I had lots of time to spend just the two of us!  We missed little man but it was so nice having our time!

Me and My handsome man

On Sunday evening…we went to Joy’s house to celebrate Tori’s 7th Birthday.  Her birthday was on September 30th but we couldn’t get together until Sunday.  Joy made some yummy Taco Salad and we enjoyed some delicious birthday cake.

The fall weather was so beautiful today so me and Maddox went out for a stroll thru the neighborhood in his wagon!

Unfortunately….I’m not much of a cooker so our Dining Room doesn’t get used much….but I love having this room for entertaining and the table serves as a great craft table when the mood strikes me to get crafty!! Thanks for checking out my room!!

God Bless
