Why in the World?

Now, why in the world on Friday, would my family and I have had a celebratory lunch at our favorite Mexican place?



Why in the world would Jon and I be trying to pick out paint colors?

Why in the world would I give him this look when he picked out a color I didn't like?

Why in the world do we have to agree on a paint color today?

Why in the world would I be thinking so hard of my furniture back home when trying to pick out a paint color?

Why in the world would the kiddibos be picking out paint colors?


Why in the world would I make . . . I mean . . . ask Jon to carry me like this?

Why in the world would I have this HUGE smile plastered across my face?

Why in the world would I have a picture of my high heels on these brick steps?

Because . . . .
Drum roll please . . . .
We finally closed on our house!!! Praise the Lord!
I can't wait to give y'all the tour and have you over for coffee . . . soon . . . . very, very soon. Right now we're covered up to our elbows in fixin' it up. Can't wait to show you all the before and after pictures!
