Project Heart

Nevermind the baby room, I’ve had my little office on the mind for awhile. This is sketch #3 of the plans. Is it enough storage for the little closet third room? Will it work?

Dreaming of great studios.

It’s been a long absence. The latter half of this year has been insane. Insane–period. After the holiday hurrah, I’m busy making new lists and transferring notes from the 2011 agenda to my brand spanking new, ultra-CUTE Pony Brown agenda for TWO-TWELVE.

There is much to anticipate next year. Ahem, ummm… by far the biggest is  ………….. baby Yee is coming to town! We’re not really sure if you’re a boy or girl right now, but you’re squirming inside and making stronger kicks each week. And, in about 4 months time, we’re going to meet each other.

I’m hoping to start a new blog for the baby. Stay tuned and happy new year.

Furious is in New Orleans this weekend for MB’s (aka. “Money Bags”) bachelor party so I am home alone after shipping him off with the boys last Friday afternoon. I decided to crack open the paint cans and rollers again and get painting.

Lurgs helped me out on Friday doing trim on the doorways, and I finally applied the long awaited second coat of paint to the washroom and our adjoining (also known as the wall that had been accidentally cut through to our neighbour’s side) hallway wall. Feels good to be working on the house again and seeing progress! Other than painting, the rest of the weekend involved eating various kinds of  bbq-ed meat :)

Have been up late obsessively organizing my Flickr photos this week …

Last week we flew out for a west coast wedding on a farm! So happy that Furious and I got to celebrate with the lovely C & D, and all their family and friends who had come from the east and west coast. It was a really special weekend in seeing God’s providence at work. I didn’t know anyone else at the wedding except for the bride and the groom, and I admit it can be kind of boring when you attend a wedding where you don’t know a lot of people. BUT, we had such a great time on our 5-day trip! We came back home late Sunday night and I felt too excited still to sleep :)  It was really neat to be able to have a couple days to meet a whole bunch of people, hear their stories, and it was kind of like we were all doing a puzzle together assembling the big and small pieces of how we each fit, and have been a part of this couple’s life.

A very sweet and memorable time!

Photos from the trip are here.

They also picked a great passage as their wedding scripture for the ceremony:

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let  the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

– Colossians 3:12-17
