Come sit on the porch!

I am so excited about this post because it is my first post with a picture! YES!! I have to admit that I sometimes over react and blind myself when I feel overwhelmed. It really wasn't that hard to attach a picture. I plan on getting better too, so please don't laugh at my baby steps. :)

I have always loved front porches with rocking chairs. I think they look so inviting. Wrap around porches are my favorite, but all porches can work. We moved to our house last year and the owner left two wooden rocking chairs that had seen better days. Much better days. I loved their look so we decided to try and "refurb" them. Well, if you read my last post you will know how that panned out. BUT...last week I was on spring break and with the help of my handy father-in-law I COMPLETED the project! I must admit I was extremely proud. So now I have a front porch and two beautiful chairs to sit and rock on. Come sit on the porch and visit!

I am trying AGAIN

Yes, I am trying again...no not for another baby! I am going to try to Blog again. I felt I started off pretty well, but then quickly, very quickly it fizzled out. Devon and I were just talking about this very thing today. So many times in our life we have good intentions. We talk about things and even make lists, but those good intentions, talks and lists do not accomplish the goal...the great idea. I can always come up with excuses (some good and some questionable), as to why the end result was a bust. Sure, I got frustrated because I didn't know how to post pictures on the blog, I got busy, this happened, that happened. It really is a vicious cycle I do not wish to continue. Someone has to break it, why not us?

So, here is try two. I,again, will do my best.
