It's about time!

So today, I decided to get out the hammer and hang all of the pictures (which were already in their frames) that I had piled against my bookcase in the bedroom. They have only been there for 6 months!

In doing so, I also rearranged some of the frames that I already had out. I must say that my table tops look a lot better!

I also have my corner of photos. Mammaw always had a wall for family portraits in the living room and Mom always had a wall in the living room or the entire hallway covered in family photos (depending on what house we were in). So, true to family tradition, I have a corner in the living room that is covered in family photos! I happen to be one of those people that thinks a house looks a little weird without photos. Don't get me wrong, I have art on my walls also. I just happen to think that a home is not a home without photos! Especially when most of your loved ones live about 10 hours away.



Cold Weather calls for Comfort Food

So the past few days have been seriously cold when it comes to Texas weather. I know 30 doesn't sound very cold for most of America, but here in the Houston area, it is the end of the world!

We made a yummy chicken and salsa soup that lasted two nights! Then I went to Brad's office for lunch on Thursday for a crock pot lunch. While we were there, we discussed chili. So we decided to go buy some stuff and attempt to make a homemade chili. A first for both of us. It turned out pretty yummy. We put too many tomatos in it, but it wasn't to bad. Next time we will cut out a tomato and hopefully it will be perfect!

Such an amazing husband!

Brad normally goes to bed before I do. The past couple of nights, I have found him on my side of the bed when I walk into the room. He knows how cold natured I am and has been getting my side of the bed warm before I get there! How sweet!

As a repayment...he gets chocolate chip cookies.
