The new and improved laundry room

-
Here are a few pics of our new laundry room...the closet is done, the trim is up around the doors and the floor and it is painted a tan color. Although it definitely looks homemade, we are very excited about the way it turned out. And it clearly is better than the cement floor, half drywalled room, furnace/water heater displayed, and stud ceiling we moved in with. I think I am in this room more than I wish to say and would love to actually enjoy being in it for a change (laundry is my least favorite chore!)

I even found this cute sign at Gordman's the other day on clearance for $10 which helped with adding black to the room. I also found a cute black "Brothers" frame from Kohl's for $4 (since the boys call this bathroom theirs since it is attached to their bedroom) which replaced the ugly wood medicine cabinet we had behind the toilet. The Brothers frame is already hung, but I need to print a cute picture of the boys together for it - for now it has the Kohl's brothers in it...Enjoy the room and let me now what you think. I am really needing to buy a new camera lens for my fancy camera because all the pics are zoomed in and I really couldn't get a picture of the whole room from any one angle. Feel free to piece them together to get the entire picture...

I think you guys did an amazing job! How nice to finally be done. :) Now, about enjoying laundry. . .I'm not sure I'll ever enjoy it (even with my brand new front-loading set!). I never seem to be 'done'. Hmph. Oh, and I love the accessories you found.

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

-
So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
