Home Tour Part I and Pumpkin Carving


My home greets you with a friendly hello and I think the pumpkins add a nice fall touch. A lot of the house is not finished yet, which is why this is only Part I. Here is the living room and it's fully decorated.


In the early evening we enjoy lots of natural light. Here is the bedroom with the glorious gold chevron paint. 


In the mornings, its so bright in our bedroom. I love all the natural light we get at this time of year.


The kitchen is great but there is a definite lack of a pantry. We will have to buy something. I want a butcher block kitchen island on wheels with storage underneath and a pantry or hutch.


The laundry room is functional with a space to fold clothes.


Finally the backyard is fantastic with two patios but we only use one of them.





I hope you enjoyed Part I of our home tour. Now here is some pumpkin carving from last night!




This is my pumpkin masterpiece. 



Somebody else is much better at pumpkin carving than I am.

Make a difference Monday

 Make a difference Monday is an important part of my life.  I want to use this series as a way of giving back and as a way of making the world a better place. 

Right now, I feel that my world would be better if I was passionate about how I make a living.  There are so many jobs that I am capable of doing but the passion is not there. I will find my dream job someday. In the mean time, I will surround myself with activities I am passionate about. I will continue to write, play piano, take photos, crochet scarves for the needy, read books, travel or dream about travel, bike, run, learn. I will be an active member of toastmasters, COPA, and be a part of my community. 

This is what I will do. And when the time is right, the door will open to my dream job. 

Dear Lord, please give me the patience to find my dream job and the contentment to enjoy the job I have and the journey to the next opportunity. Amen.

Strength


Its never easy living comfortably in our lives. Thankfully, we can always rely on God to give us just enough strength to get through any challenge that comes our way.
