Swingin Pad


Yes! These are pictures of our newly painted living room. It's actually really hard to get a picture of the whole space because it's really long and there's a lot of furniture in it, but here you can get an idea of the colors. Three of the walls are a gold/yellow, and one is red. It looks AWESOME. We love it. It really makes our living room look more like a house and less like a basement... which is a very good thing.


And here's the reveal of our picture frame project that I mentioned way back when! We bought a bunch of frames at Goodwill and painted them all black, then hung them in an asymmetrical way. I think it looks great. There are still a few empty frames reserved for Orion's professional pics. Hope we can get those soon.


Nathan artfully arranged some of our cool souvenirs that people got us from far off lands. The little wooden sword is from Haiti, and everything else is from Africa. It looks really nice on the gold color.


In fitness/weight loss news...

Here are the stats:
Current weight: 131.2
Goal weight: 115
Weight lost this week: 0.4
Total weight lost: 8.8
Pounds left 'til goal: 16.2

Slowly but surely. I also ran outside for the first time this week- I went half a mile! I'll try for a whole mile next week :)

We have college friends visiting so I'm looking forward to more awesome weekendness! Hope yours is good too!

Love the colors and all the frames on the red wall look really cool.

Orion looks so happy swinging upside down! You have a bit of a daredevil there. Too funny!
