As some of you know a while ago Sheramie got accepted to transfer to BYU down in Provo. After much thought and prayer we have decided to finish up his degree here in Idaho. I am so proud of him and all his hard work. For our family it is the right decision. Although it would be fun to be down there for game night, birthday parties, receptions, blessings, and being closer to more family....maybe someday! Well after a year of living in our 2 bedroom apartment and staring at blank walls and windows I have made curtains for all the windows and am slowly transforming our place into a home. Madison's room was finished first....in what color you ask? Yes, in pink. I love that I can cover her life in pink and for now at least, she can't say no! We will post pictures of all the rooms and my semi handiwork. I finished all windows in about 3 days, just working on them at nights when she went to bed.
Sometimes I find that we are treating this time in our lives as temporary (and it is) but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do things to make our place our own. In the Ensign this month it appropriately talked about the Pioneers and how they were always moving around, but also how they made their home wherever they went. They built up cities and worked hard to make life the best it could be. I am grateful for their example...and also that they settled in Utah on the 24th so I can have a day off of work next week!!! I'll post pictures of my sewing projects soon.

I can't wait for the pictures! You are just the cutest and I miss your face :)
Way to go Jess! I am excited to see the pics. It was great to see you over the fourth. Your family is adorable.
I'm excited to see the pics! I can't agree with you more of trying to make your home a home wherever you are. We're in the process of doing the same - but it takes a while :) BTW - we're heading up to Idaho next month, we need to get together!
I totally agree with you jessica! That's why I love yard sales and handme down things, haha that's what my home is decorated in. I'm not nearly as crafty as you are though, I wouldn't even know how to make curtains! I will learn to be that kind of a home maker someday, and hopefully soon :) You're a good example to that! Oh and just double checking, do you need me to watch madison in the fall?
Jessica you are so talented. Learning to sew as Merrie Misses really paid off. Remember those quilts we made with Sister Wood, well kind of made. Can you come to michigan and help me make curtains for me windows???
I can get together pretty much whenever. During the week is best for me just because the weekends are crazy for us this summer, almost every weekend there's a family reunion or camping or something going on. I am feeling really well, I have a lot of my energy back, and I actually go without naps now :) We find out what we are having in 3 weeks! We are very excited, although with this one, I can tell I am gaining a lot more weight then I did with BraeLynn, which I am not too thrilled about, but whatever just so the baby is healthy! haha well I better end this, it's turning into like an email size post comment! Just give me a call whenever you want to get together!
Yay for you! I want to come over and see Madison's room - did you put up those vinal things that you made over Christmas?
