ok, someone with some blogging expertise, help me! our blog bores me. it needs a facelift. suggestions??
SO this weekend we got an end table! i have tried SO hard to be frugal and not go out and buy all new furniture even though i get super frustrated all the time because there are so many things we still need. but today it paid off! we did some shopping, didn't find anything, and then i came home and looked on craigslist and found one i LOVE for.... $15!!! the girl needed to sell it fast so it was super cheap, she had just posted the add 20 minutes before... And it's a really nice one and i LOVE it! did i say that already? anyway, i'm proud of my money saving skills. we also got a kitchen butcher block thing that way. we looked and looked for one, found one we liked, and i actually caved planning to get it at the store full price. so we went.. and they didn't have it! which turned out to be perfect because i found the same one on craiglist for half the price! love it. i was being a little ridiculous because we were having people over and we have basically zero counter space and i was all worried about having all of them over (it was pot luck) and nowhere to put the food so i ran out to get the butcher block kitchen island thingy and they didn't have it because the perfect one was waiting for me on craigslist. :-) so once i got over my vain moment (like anyone else notices besides me whether or not we have a butcher block?) i realized that it all worked out perfectly and we are thrilled with how the house is coming together. phew! funny how God has it all perfectly planned out and i'm here freaking out about stupid little things and they are already taken care of. i should stop freaking out. easier said than done.
this weekend has been a little different than we originally planned. we were going to go with our small group to float the river in new braunfels, but things unfolded a little differently than expected so today they were there floating the river and we were here. it just turned out not to be the weekend for us to go. which we really were torn about and bummed to miss a super fun time with them, but i think it worked out. we needed to get some things done and it seems like we never ever have a weekend where we are just in houston with no plans. so that really helped. plus we got to have dinner with my and we were here for patrick's dad to come over and borrow the truck to move his brother to college station! (i am for sure a little jealous.) we will be excited to hear how the weekend in new braunfels went though. hopefully the weather held up for them.
i would love for our next place of living to have sunroom. what a good idea. a room just for lounging and maybe eating breakfast... in the sun! i love the sun. mostly at the beach but i'll take it anywhere.
ok that's all for now. soon i will learn to put pics on here and then it will be more interesting.

Hey Becky! I'm really enjoying reading about your new life. :) My mom loves craig's list as well- we found a pingpong table and air hockey table for a wonderful deal last summer.
As for uploading pictures, when you are adding a new post, there's a button in the toolbar directly above the text that is basically a picture (I think when you hover over it, it even says "add picture") Click that, browse through files, and select size (large is what I normally use). Then upload!

You should do a google search for "free blogger templates". There are a ton of really cool templates out there that other people have come up with. You can get the HTML and just copy and paste into your blogger HTML editor.
I'm thinking of doing it myself.
