~Major Changes~

*sigh*

I feel like I can breath!!!

Eric left for a few days to go on a High Adventure with the Scouts (pictures to come soon) and it seems like I always do something major while he is gone. I am not sure why.. I guess because I don't feel like I have any type of schedule or have to have the house cleaned up by a certain time or dinner on the table. A couple of years ago I re-arranged my bedroom (ugg that was a tough one) bed, dressers, everything. Last year I had 7 new trees planted in the yard (that was a lot less work for me). I really didn't have anything planned this year but at the last minuted decided that it was time to move my computer desk.

For those of you who have ever been to my tiny little house you would have noticed my complete disaster of a desk that has sat in our entry/living room for the last 4 years. I finally decided that it was time to go.

So that is what we did. Here are a few pictures that I could find of before. I always tried to make sure that the desk was not in pictures because it was always such a mess so these are the only ones that I could find. But I think you can get the idea.

Between Me, Kaiden & Keira (holy moly talk about a lot of work) we got it moved into the "Freezer Room". Why do we call it that you ask?? Well because we got a big chest freezer and had no where to put it so it went into our extra bedroom. See that white thing right next to my desk?? Yep, that's the freezer. Kaiden kept telling me that we were again doing a man job! That kid makes me laugh!

And now I have an "Office". Everything is out of the way. It is still a work in progress and things are not put quite where they need to be yet but, it is so nice.

Check out the entry/living room now.

HUGE difference!!!
I can not believe how nice it is. I never realized all of the stress it added to me having the desk right in the middle of our house. Every time I turned around my work was there. There were things that I knew needed done and thing that I felt like I needed to do. Don't get me wrong those things are still there but they are hidden back in a tiny little room that is now my office/freezer/exercises room. (Ya, I have our two exercises-thingies in there too. Not being used of course).

So when Eric got home from his trip he said to me (before we got in the house). "WOW!! You didn't even change anything. I figured that you would have your hair chopped off or something. You always change something when I leave for long periods of time". Then he opened the door. "HOLY CRAP!! Where is the desk??" I just started laughing. He loves it too. It is a great change. And I honestly feel like I can breath again!

Now, let me think.....hmmm.....what should I do next year???
