nesting. cleaning. nesting.

Something is up and I am not sure what it is. Typically I am not the go-go wife that has all of the laundry done the second it hits the hamper. I do it once or twice a week and Jesse and I give the house a good cleaning once a week or so. Now, every once in a while I will have the gumption to do it all every other day and make sure it is spick and span for a few days. Obviously.....this passes after about day three. Im on week one of this obsession to nest and clean. I have made a new wreath, new centerpieces, started making our bed every single morning, caught up all of our laundry to the point we have run out of hangers, painted a "chalkboard" wall in our kitchen, cleaned baseboards, went to the dry cleaners....etc etc. I am not complaining however, what has gotten into me? I am not pregnant. (I usually check and double check and rule out this option every single month). Why I still worry about that I don't know. I sure hope this gumption stays for a while. I like being able to have people over anytime and not worry about the house being messy. Not that people are knocking down our door to come over but it is a nice thought. :)

My coffee table centerpieces.

Saw this moss ball centerpiece at IO Metro on SALE for $100...I made it for $25. :)

January wreath. I'm feeling woodsy these days.

Our chalkboard wall. Please excuse the shrimp & grits/pralines comment.

There are a few facts that I am going to disclose. I figured that the start of a new year merited a few confessions and resolutions! First, I am a blog stalker. I love looking at peoples blogs...mainly because it is fun to get lost in someone else's life for a while and also because I love pictures...other people's pictures. Okay, now that I am a certified self-confessed stalker we can move on.

Now, I am inspired to keep up with my blog. If other people can do it amid a busy schedule then so can I. I vow to keep up with this blog over this year and hopefully someone will read it to make it worthwhile!

Last year was literally a whirlwind....I am sure that most of you feel the same. Isn't that always how it is though? I have noticed that Jesse and I don't experience major life changes in even strides like most people seem to. It all happens at once in quite a short period of time....for instance-2008: Engagement, Graduate from college, Travel overseas for a month, Move twice, Start a new job, Get Married. All from April-November 2008. Now for 2009: Decide to start our own business, Jesse quits his job, We actually start our own business, Decide to buy a house, Actually buy a house, Move again, I go part time at my job to work on our business from home, We pass our first year of marriage. Whew! 2010: ??? Well since were only 8 days into 2010 I don't have a list of crazy changes to name off yet.

I am happy and settled and rather hopeful for this year's happenings.
