It's Late!

Well, I can't seem to fall asleep tonight and it's almost midnight! My body needs to get back on schedule because school is right around the corner. My room is coming together and that makes it all the more exciting! I can't wait to meet my new kids and have a fabulous year.

Our trip to Florida was amazing! We are so blessed to be able to take such a nice vacation. During our stay at the Hard Rock Hotel, they upgraded our room to the "Club Level". It was pretty nice because we had our own breakfast, snacks, drinks, and desserts all day. The rest of the time was spent at the theme parks. I must say, Harry Potter was pretty awesome! And I loved the Dr. Seuss park....who would have thought. ;) If I had my way though, I would have ridden almost every ride three times. Matt isn't so big on the rides so I dragged him to as many as I could.

We then drove to New Smyrna Beach on the East Coast. Beautiful beach! We got burnt pretty bad, despite the previous days in the sun and multiple sun block sessions. So we left early to see my Gma and Aunt Ruthie. It was a treat to again not be in charge of meals. :) We got to visit with them for a couple days and then head home.

I'm not adjusting well to "regular life". I guess it's been so long since I've had a vacation...actually never since being married. Coming home to the dogs and responsibilities isn't as fun as getting away and being taken care of. Hehe. Nevertheless, life goes on.

I've been doing my last summer projects or things I've been meaning to-do before the summer runs out. I'm still working on that terrible room. It's been much slower than I had hoped, due to money (going towards the trip) and motivation. :D Another layer of Spackle has been applied and I'm crossing my fingers that it's the last one. I'll update a picture later.

Now the issue of color. I would LOVE a light green but Matt insists on not having green. He would rather have a deep red. Maybe since this has been my project I'll pick the color....maybe. I've also considered accenting the room with stencils. I THINK it'll be spread over one wall...or maybe a border at the top of the wall. I am sadly the kind of person who has to SEE something to decide whether I like it or not. I certainly won't be redoing this anytime soon...so YOU should help me pick.

Option 1: These two stencils





Option 2: This one stencil


Either option will be done in one color...probably white. Let me know what ya think!
