After having my cat's name selection publicly dashed, I have privately consulted with myself and decided that although Sebring is most fitting (although it is only the name of the car, and not a mythical animal as I originally though), we can do better. My official submission to the naming contest is: Saber. Thank you for reading my unnecessarily super-dramatic post.

Here is the cutest new member of the family... My in-laws farm cat had kittens and we took one. She is about 6-7 weeks old and is very sweet and even tempered. Good thing, considering our other pet. Yes, Bagheera is LIVID. She just stopped hissing at US today. We're hoping it will stop with the kitten in a couple of weeks. I can't seem to come up with a name for her. But we can't keep calling her

After checking out the gorgeous sunflowers for $15 at Wild Oats, I settled for the $3 clearance ones at Kroger. They lasted about 4 days. Not too shabby...I finally learned "take a picture, it lasts longer!" is really true...for flowers, anyway.

I can't complain, though...the teens are really doing great with the skits this year.Since we decided not to celebrate until this weekend, I am going to pretend that I am 29 for a week longer.On another note, here is a video for you to see how Nate is

Nate's new hobby is disc golf! He is getting quite good. He placed 2nd in the Novice Division of the Southern Nationals at Burns Park, and we have discovered parks in Jacksonville, Cabot, Searcy, and Hot Springs. We play at Burns Park at least 3 times a week, and it is fun, good exercise, and best of all FREE!Here is my first attempt at A: video of Nate throwing a discB: posting a video on my

I have recently gotten into an art called Reborn dollmaking. Originally this art form started with taking vinyl play dolls and "refurbishing" them to lovely collectible dolls. I found it through eBay and I fell in love. The art has progressed so far it is now pushing boundaries, making more and more lifelike dolls. I found this cutie at Savers for a dollar and decided to try it for myself:After I

The front door is finished, and I decided to embellish it with a W! Nate says people will think it is in support of the president. :-P. I painted it myself--the color on the front matches the house, and the sides are the same as the door. I really like it!I also made a keyholder, which conveniently hangs right next to the door.And got a chalkboard through Southern Living which I put near the

Spring has officially arrived (well, come and gone, really) in Arkansas, bringing lots of stormy weather all over the state. This spring has seen more devastating storms & tornadoes than many past, as well as flooding. And though I am used to the blooming season being in May and June (growing up in Maine), the spring blossoms are about gone here! I have a couple of lovely rosebushes that were

Since Nate and I are visiting Maine for Christmas this year (yay!), we decided not to have a real Christmas Tree. I got this tiny tree from Share 'N Swap at church. When I was little, Nana Savage always had a little tree decorated at the top of the stairs at her house in addition to the big tree that held all our presents and we called it "The Charlie Brown Tree." It was as essential to our

Here's our little house as you come up the hill...This is what you will see when you first come in the door. Looking back at the living room... We love the bar area in the kitchen...great for using the laptop (that's what I am doing right now...)Down the hallway to the bedrooms (1 bedroom, 1 junk room, and 1 study...;))The hall bathroom is unfinished, but we're working on it.

We have a house!! YaY! For most of September, we have been slowly moving in (loading up as many boxes as our little Aveo can hold, driving them to the house, driving back, loading up more boxes...you get the picture) We only have a few boxes of random essentials and all of our "big" (i.e. can't fit in the Aveo) furniture left. The electricians spent most of last week installing some upgrades and

July was a whirl of activity--I am just going to post a few pictures that represent the last few weeks:For most of July, I was busy constructing costumes for our church's VBS production of Pilgrim's Progress.

Ok, so I promised a while back that I would post my engagement story. Coming right after our two year anniversary pics, I though it might be appropriate now. I've been putting if off b/c it's soo loooong....Well. First off, let me say that Nate and I had been dating almost 3 years, and about a year and a half of that had been long distance (he was home in Arkansas, having graduated college, and I

The end of May, we celebrated our Second wedding anniversary!! I can't believe it's been two whole years. We went to Memphis and had a great time there. We got to spend three days because of Memorial Weekend! I can't wait to go back!The first thing we did was go to the Mud Island Museum/Park. It was cool--a lot about transportation on the Mississippi from the steamboat on (and some cool replicas

Thought I would post a little orange tree update. In case you can't tell, it is about 3 times the size it was in the last picture. Nate checks on it every day....New post SOON, I promise...(right now Hannah wants to use the computer...I never get to use it anymore).

1. Do not trust owners of angry acting dogs when they say "He won't get ya." The large painful bruise/scratch on my thigh is testimony to how much they don't know.

Sometimes babysitting is something like parenting...though most of the time I feel like an older sister with two naughty siblings...and I am their bad example.The other day, Hannah wanted a plastic box to put some of her "supplies" in, and as is always the case, Alyssa wanted it too, and had in fact already received permission from me to use it. What ensued thereafter required me to give Hannah

I used to aspire to writing and illustrating children's books. The only problem is that I can never think of a topic/ subject that seems original and not already used and reused. Here is a cute character, though. This is a drawing I did once of a little boy I knew (the left picture looks more like him). Can anyone think of a good story featuring this little guy??

These somewhat random pictures of my deck are to illustrate the heavy dusting of pollen that is currently coating EVERYTHING. I don't remember this from last year!!The chair, deck rail, and floor normally do not have the yellow cast. And so, I have discovered I have allergies! I woke up with a sore throat two days ago and now it has progressed to itchy eyes and stuffy nose (plus the sore throat).

So...at least I can always take more pictures. If I don't have pictures to post, I don't feel like blogging.So here is an OLD picture that Hannah took in January of the snow we got. I think it

Though it is not as big as my biggest last year...At the beginning of September, my "little" brother came to visit and finally made the last person in my immediate family to come to Arkansas.

I figured the best way to introduce myself to the rest of the world (which, I'm certain, is very interested in knowing me), would be to talk a little bit about my current life in Arkansas. Three main strands inhabit my day to day activities. That would be Armadillos, County Courthouses, and the everlasting search for a great place to eat lunch. I

It's snowing!! Pretty little white flakes...probably won't amount to anything...the 7-year-old I babysit is loving it! That's what I get for bragging about the weather! And they say the same thing down here as in New England..."Don't like the weather? Just wait a while...it will change."

Ah...Arknasas....This is for you Maine folk...It has been consistently 65 to 72 degrees out almost every day so far this "winter." And I am lovin' it! It is better than California, however...about as better as a lush tropical oasis is to the desert. Check out the bamboo growing within feet of my apartment! Lovely!

Since there is still some catching up to do, I am backing up a few months...(by the way, on the 28th of this month, I will have been married for 8 months! crazy! At church we are still "the newlyweds.") Our Bible study had a costume party around the end of October...this costume was my brainchild. Fun, but messy. And eating finger food with green fingers is not too fun! Can you guess who?And

When we buy a house I can just post pictures of it on this site. A lot faster than emailing them...

So...we were so excited (at least I was!) about our "first Christmas" that as soon as we got back from California, I made Nate rush out and buy a Christmas tree. Trying to save money, we bought it at Walmart. This was not a good idea. 20 days later we were taking down the tree, amid a shower of needles (which it had been shedding in abundance with the slightest touch for a week and a half). The

Ok, so eveyone is driven crazy by Nana's "camera-craziness?!" This one shows it paid off...

Welcome!! Surely I am not the first tentative blogger, my fingers taking those first baby steps into the world of ecommunication, to post a disclaimer. So, thus:1. I am not sure that I will be aconsistent, somewhat consistent, or even semi-consistent blogger. I feel that there is not much in my life that the world at large will be too interested in...2. All content in this blog is 100% free of
