The new place!

So this is not really like me to post pictures of my personal haven but it's new to us and we wanted to share this with those we care about.. Parker and I bought this house and moved in the first week of June.. We have loved having our own place and knowing we can change ANYTHING we want...

Here are a few pictures of our home. It was built in the 1940's and so therefore we need to update and change a few things still as we go. I didn't bother taking any pictures upstairs yet because we will be remodeling up there. It is set up like an apartment with a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen. Pictures will soon be posted. The basement is storage and half unfinshed so I didn't take any there either. So pretty much this our main floor, where we spend all of our time anyways:)



This is our backyard... Fields behind us, true country out here :)


This is the front, Parker is in the process of putting a new roof on!




This is our living room


That is the front door.

Thoughtfulness!

Its about time I post something on this dang blog, people are going to wonder if Parker and I are the most boring people ever.. We have actually been busy busy doing some fun things, no pictures to prove it though. I was never good at that and still I am not. One day I will, hopefully when I have kids.

Ok here is a small recap of what we have been up to the last few months. We went to my Nelson side reunion up at Browne lake and that was so much fun. I have been going since I was born. I love going up there and just leaving the cares of the world behind. Lots of bbq's and lots of family, whats better than these two things?? We also bought a house and we are now all moved in and getting things situated. Oh what fun it is to be all grown up and have our own place. There is still much to do but we will take our sweet time getting there! I can remember for the last who knows how long that I pictured myself and my future life in an old house. Well this is exactly what we got! Life is great that way, if you want something bad enough I feel like you can get it. Maybe it just presents itself because it's what you put your positive energy towards?? Like a dream board.. I made a dream board at age 21 and put things I would love to have. I have achieved a few so far. I feel like I have scored with my sweet husband and now this house.

Now on to why I chose the title thoughtfulness.. I love my husband, for he is truly thoughtful. I usually get home late when I work so dinner gets tricky. I've tried the crockpot thing while I'm away, we only came home to charred spare ribs.. Whatever no big deal, it happens to the best of us. So yesterday I had a rough start to my day. Lets just say I needed to be at work at 9:00 and I left our house at 9:10. Yep there was a misunderstanding in my schedule. I live a good forty minutes away so my poor client sat and looked at magazines for forty five plus minutes. I just hate making people wait for me and I felt horrible. I also didn't get a chance to get ready either and we all know how this feels, yes I felt like the gross girl!! A few other things happened that day and so it just wasn't my best day.

I called Parker on my way home and he was out doing some errands. He kept asking me when I would be home and where I was. After the third time of him asking I started to wonder what he was doing and why he cared so much today as to where I was every five minutes. Well I eventually got home and this is what I walked into. My darling husband had dinner hot and ready on the table, drinks poured, and a nice little vase of flowers from our garden. I LOVED this loving act he showed me that day. Something so simple made my heart happy.


We watched Forever Young that night cause it was on tv. I found myself getting all teary eyed watching the last scene where he flys to his sweethearts house and they reunite. I watched them on the screen and thought of Parker and I. I can't wait to grow old with him and see what this beautiful life has in store for us. I love this man, and I know he loves me. Its through acts of love like the prepared dinner that show me so..
