A Couple of my favs...
A Country Farmhouse
I love this blog. Her and her husband bought an old farmhouse and renovated it to this amazing little home with a wrap around porch and beautiful windows, which are all in harmony. Plus, they have a great view of the mountains in the background from their front porch. The house could only have been done by someone with a vision and taste. It's just so beautiful, and I love the furniture and decorations... all seeming to stay with the same style and time period. The outside of the house actually looks better than before where the windows and the wrap around porch just go together. If you check it out, there's a link on the right when you scroll down to view the posts about the renovations, each showing before and after pictures. This is the picture that drew me to her blog, and I've been in love ever since. ... very close second to my love with Pottery Barn.
Meadowbrook Farm
Here's one more blog that's totally worth checking out. I am in love with her blog layout, pictures and beautiful flowers. She and her husband also renovated an old farmhouse, barn and property, which you can all find in the blog too. I just love old barns, and it makes me sad to see them sagging with their roofs caving in. Anytime, someone's maintained one, it makes me happy. They're a dying breed, but just so good to see as part of the country skyline. There's one on Gray Rd, which I believe is part of the CPMorgan family. I knew I would love living in our apartment and driving to work partially b/c of that old barn and the small corn field still being plowed on this road.
Anyway, I think I would like both of these ladies from their blogs. So accomplished and love their taste. If you check out their blogs, you may just see a comment from me on there now and again. My boss says I'm a stalker, but neither of these ladies should worry, as I believe they live on the other side of the country. ...at least, not until vacation time.
and with that, I'll leave you with a picture from the Meadowbrook Farm blog. With spring finally waking up and the sun warming the land, I love seeing the sweet daffodils popping their heads out from the ground. Aren't they so beautiful and fragile?

Bikers.
Tonight's the night. The bikes are in the living room and receiving the cadillac of spring preparations before taking that first, long spring ride. For me, spring cleaning means reorganizing and dejunking. But not for Josh. It's time to test the brakes, pump the tires, lube the gears, etc.
Right now, there's a certain look on his face telling me he's enjoying every second of it. A look that for him says, "I'm in my happy place." I remember the first time we went on a bike ride together. It was such a special moment to me because I knew I was seeing him in his element. ... relaxed and enjoying every moment of it.
In other news, we had my nephews over a couple of weekends ago. And for a little one on one time, we did the "great trade" with my parents where we each got one at a time for an evening and then traded for the next evening.
Here's my nephew enjoying his daper good looks in the mirror.
"I'm too sexy for this haircut..." :)

How He Loves
I don't know if I'll ever get tired of hearing this song. From the CD "Church Music" by the David Crowder*Band, it's worth stopping the busyness of your day and just listening. Before you know it, you just might find yourself in a one person worship concert. p.s. this whole CD rocks and is worth the purchase.
Without further ado, and for your listening pleasure...

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.
We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…
