Catch the Moment 365 {Week #17}

Filed Under: Family, Project 365 Tagged With: Catch The Moment

Anyone out there able to help me get out of a photography rut? I really was thinking this project would help, but seems like I am too far gone…This was a rough week, so I am hoping when I feel all better and the weather is more kind to us I will actually take a photo a day. I have just been improvising.

Catch the Moment 365 – Week #17

week17

113. Spent most of the day in the chair with a heating pad and watching movies. 114. Had my doctor appointment, so I needed a pick me up after. Chickfila milkshakes are the best! 115. The only damage we got from the tornado that came through very close to us. This was actually taken Saturday morning, but the Tornado came through Friday night. 116. The boys and I ended up going to stay with family because our power was still out and we weren’t sure when it would be back on. 117. Came home from Virginia to sunshine and power. 118. More rain and storms. 119. Dustyn was scared of the Tornado watch, so he wanted me to lay in his bed until he fell asleep. I happily obliged. I know these days will come to an end soon. 120. Another Tornado watch. I am just thankful these past couple storms and watches weren’t anything like Friday night.

    Glad to hear you're okay! I'm in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, so I'm surprised things have been so calm so far. Lived here my entire life, but I'm still somehow not totally used to the insane Texas weather.

    I don't have a chick fil a near me so they are such a treat when I do come across one! Stay safe with the tornadoes!
    • Sarah says

      May 5, 2014 at 11:57 pm

      Our closest one used to be an hour. I was so happy when they built one 10 minutes down the road from me!

    OMG how scary with all the tornados! I love Chick-Fil-A peach milkshakes!

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
