Office Gallery Wall / Office Floors

I started this blog post over a year ago and figured since I haven't posted since 2015 I should probably post something. 

I'm so excited to have my gallery wall completed. It really finishes off the room and makes it feel like ours. Which said a lot at the time of completion because it was the only room we actually had "almost" finished. The office now has beautiful vinyl plank floors, as will the rest of the house where there is carpet.

Back to the gallery wall... It's quite an eclectic mix of different items; Eric's moon walk picture, my diplomas, the Michigan dictionary print that I just got from Etsy. It even has our awesome Christmas present from Evan and Kari with our wedding date. Oh yeah, that's right... I haven't posted here since the beginning of 2015, probably before we were even engaged! So that happened.

Retirement

Now that I am officially "retired" I suppose it's time I do something with this blog...

Eric and I have decided that I get to be a stay at home dog mom, doer of all house things/projects, CEO of the homestead, etc. I'm in my first week of it and so far loving it. I had an interview scheduled for a new job, which I cancelled because I've realized that time is more valuable than money. I had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I wasn't going to be bringing in an income but after looking at it with a different perspective I've decided it's okay. For us, it works; not everyone is in the same situation.

My first week hasn't consisted of much, except some decompression time and a little garden work. (I can't wait to show everyone what we have done with the "garden," if you can still call it that!) I am hoping as I ramp up the house projects I will have a lot more to share on this blog.

Stay tuned...
