Our first fire! (and other random pictures)

Knowing I was in a crappy mood yesterday, Jay asked what he could do around the house to help me not be so stressed. I really didn't have an answer for him, but when I got home I saw that he had figured it out all on his own!

Okay so maybe it didn't look like that by the time I got home, but it was still nice to eat dinner in front of the fire.  (Our table is to the left of the fireplace, just out of the picture.)  It was also nice for the house to be 70 degrees for a change!  Scared of the electric bills, we've been keeping it on 60. 

 
Besides the new baseboards, the only change we made to this room was the yellow on the wall.  It connects to the kitchen and when I think of a farmhouse kitchen I think yellow.  Please excuse the mess just beyond the french doors.  That's our soon to be mud room.  Right now its the pile o'crap room.
 
That's all the new photos I have to share with you today of our house, but remember I said we hung out at a cabin this weekend with our Sunday school class? Lest ye picture it to be some rustic hunting lodge, when we say "cabin" around here this is what we mean:
 
 

A master bedroom on every floor, a theater room in the basement, and fireplaces in the commons areas. 

Okay that does nothing to show you the cabin, but I thought it was a cute picture of us so I wanted to share it.  Check out this bathroom - nothing rustic here.  It certainly puts my master bath at home to shame.  Mine is a two by two shower with claustrophobic glass doors.

Jay fell in love with the theater room, so I'm not sure why I don't have any pictures of it.  If we build a farm house later down the road Jay has already said he wants a theater room.  I'm not sure what kind of farm house has a $6K flat screen television and theater style seating, but if we build a house its because he's done very well in real estate and deserves whatever kind of room he wants!

Today is a short day for me.  I'm going to try and get around to everyone's blogs today but if I don't I'll get to you tomorrow I promise! (Lord willin and the creek don't rise.)
