Catch the Moment 365 {Week #2}

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

This past week we have been on vacation. That is why it is a little late. I really wanted to take my DSLR, but it is just so hard to carry around while trying to keep up with Dustyn and take care of Carsyn. So this is week is all from my cell phone. They aren’t terrible photos but definitely wish I could have taken my big girl camera. If you want to see more from our vacation make sure you check out my instagram.

Catch the Moment 365 | Week #2

9. The sunset behind our house. | 10. Bird on a wire. This was taken while I was waiting for Kenny to get done with his skin cancer surgery. | 11. Rainy and chilly day. We spent the day at home packing for our vacation. | 12. Dustyn goes through phases when he asks me constantly to take his photo. Other days he refuses to let me take even one photo. | 13. Our first day at Sea World Orlando. It was an awesome first day of vacation. | 14. Since we started planning our trip to Florida Dustyn wanted to go to Fun Spot. That is all he cared about because Big Foot 7 Monster truck was there.

    The ferris wheel is my fave. Oddly enough, I would not ride one...But I ride pretty much anything else. Like drop towers, people think I am crazy for riding them. I like the pics from Pripyat of that ferris wheel. Have you seen that?
    • Sarah says

      January 21, 2014 at 7:00 pm

      Thank you! I do love rides but ferris wheels aren't my favorite.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

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. 😆

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. 🙌🏼
