My husband is so proud of the fact that he got to meet General Pretraeus! He sworn him(michael) in for yet another 5 years in the Army! (yay me!)********************************************************************************
So I was determined to have a better day today and I started kickboxing this morning with my kids. They needed the exercise too, being that we've been cooped up in the house with all this snow that keeps coming. Genevieve decided I needed a makeover complete with big pink hoops and red chunky necklace. :)
I got a box today from my soldier....with his medal and several rugs!!!Ziggy is trying this one out...it's a sage green with black accents...at the foot of my bed.
Trying to figure out where in the world I'm going to put all these rugs....so I decided to hang this one behind my bed. What do you think? I took a curtain rod I had with some rings to hang it with. It feels more like a throw or kinda like tapestry, so I was thinking I should hang it or throw it on the back of my couch. The colors are red, a burnt orange and some gold. I would add those colors in pillows on the bed.
My sister -n-law got me a gift card to TJ Maxx for christmas and I found these pretty mercury glass candle holders for my dresser....decided I would deck the bedroom out before soldier comes home.
I love this rug! But it is sort of a runner so it works perfect in front of the front door!
Terrible lighting in this pic...but it's definitely red...:)...and it pretty much covers my entire living room. OH...and I painted an H to go atop my picture collage! (H-first letter of my last name) ;)
Here is one of my recent projects. I hung a wrought iron curtain rod and ordered the hangers from here! My son drew the Eiffel tower...the two vintage photos are of my grandpa who was a warrant officer in the army...he was a helicopter pilot...and a smashingly handsome soldier! ;) He passed away when I was 14...I have wonderful memories of him! I should really share better(closer) pics next time!
Im a big fan of Josh Groban....His new CD Illuminations just came out and of course I got my copy...you can listen to a clip of one of his new songs here out NYC!! I will be playing his song "When you say you love me" when we renew our vows. So this picture I framed came out of the back of the pamphlet of his new album. Yes..I did...it's a gorgeous portrait of the brooklyn bridge in NYC in sorta of a sepia tone. I loved it and now it's framed on my wall! :)
Thank you all for your comments...I loved reading them and they were a comfort! :)

The rug on the wall behind your bed is beautiful. I really like it as a wall hanging. When I read your last post a lot of memories came flooding back and then remembering that I will be experiencing all those feelings again in a very short two weeks. Sitting at home makes time pass like a snail. Having people around helps alittle but you always be lonely for the one person you want to be there. Keep your chin up it really is almost over soon.
Maybe I will see you next Tuesday. Angie
