Finally caught up.

Well here it is day three and I’ve caught up with my 365 project. I promise, I won’t talk about it all the time. However, as I said before, it is a way for me to write and photograph (two things which I enjoy doing) more often. Today’s photograph is of our family room decorated for Christmas. I have sort of a love/hate relationship with my house. We bought a foreclosure that needed a LOT of work. Mostly cosmetic things, which is what I told myself when we bought it, but we don’t have a ton of money to throw at it all at once so lots of those cosmetic things still need to be done. I know, we are trying to “live like no one else” but it’s hard sometimes, not being able to buy new furniture, carpet, landscaping etc. Anyway, Papa recently got a great deal on Craigslist for some used IKEA furniture and we were able to rearrange our family room. With the wainscoting finally up (that one wasn't put off because of a lack of money, it was because of a lack of time and energy!) and the Christmas tree decorated, I actually love the room! This is a big thing for me. I love spending time by the roaring fire, cuddling up in the (used) recliner, and watching Lily play on the floor. New furniture will come later, but for now, I’m happy.
