wow, a new post!! is it possible?

This awsome old gas stove is going to get a face lift and be the central feature in my new kitchen.

That's me painting the bathroom blue.

Hello friends!! I haven't blogged most of this year, but am going to attempt to re start! So here are quick updates:

-we moved! we live nearby a little town called Greenleafton, in a schoolhouse built in 1926. Its awsome! Its also huge. The boards aren't in front of the house anymore.

-the kids have a new school. Fillmore Central is alot bigger than St Johns (how we miss you all there!) and despite my worrying the kids have done great with the transition.

-Ellie earned straight A's this semester (is anyone who knows her really surprised??!!)

-I work at a local nursing home and work nights and evenings. I really love my job but the hours are sometimes hard to ...what should I say.... be human when not at work and after a night shift?

-The rest of the family is also doing great! I have so much to write and share, look for future posts. love, ruth
