Honey I'm home

Nothing is more welcoming than a gorgeous front door or gate. Here are some that I love for all different kinds of reasons.

Our front door - we are so fortunate to live here

Birthday thanks

So we celebrated my 33rd birthday this week in style at Cross Town Eatery. Everyone had a great night and I was so happy to be able to celebrate it with my closest girlfriends. Thank you girls for a fab night out.

We had a small but perfect family celebration on Monday night too!
Thank you for all your birthday wishes everyone.

After three years, I still love this image more than any other!

Desperation

That is how I feel at the moment. I'm desperate. Not sure what to do, what to say, how to act.
I've been sitting here for an hour trying to soak up the news my Dad sobbed to me over the telephone.
He has been sick for many, many years (20 years infact) with an extremely rare form of cancer that just keeps reappearing year in year out. This past year has been pretty horrible. The growth rate of the tumors has been fast to say the least.
They are now affecting his mobility. Yes, they are paralizing him and he is loosing his ability to walk. He was told this would most likely occur, but he has been praying it wouldn't.
My Dad is the most positive, inspirational person you could meet. He has beaten the odds on too many occasions.
To hear your own Dad sob to you over the telephone what is happening is gut wrenching. I know this is a really personal story to write, but I felt I must. I just need to get it out. I'm probably not even making much sense.



Dreaming of being here

Twinkle, twinkle little star

How I wonder ..... is this is the same home??


I'm thinking that it is. I'm also thinking that both styles are perfect!
