A “Before” Tour of Our Castle

A “Before” Tour of Our Castle

Recently I was looking through old photos of our home from when we first moved in to find a “before” picture of our sunroom. As I was scrolling through the pictures of our empty house I began to feel an old familiar twinge of panic. I had to take a moment and remind myself that we've come a long way … [Read more...]

    8 years ago by whimsicalblue My husband surprised me last night with this gorgeous azalea tree for Valentine's Day! My favorite part was when I asked him how to care for it. There was a pause, then he smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not sure. I didn't expect it to live that long." He knows me so well! When I laughed and assured him I would do my best to keep it alive, he gave me a hug and said in a reassuring voice, "Let's just enjoy it while it lasts." He knows me so well and yet still buys me flowers because he loves…
