Goodbye Christmas. Hello 2010!

We decided to take down all of our Christmas decorations today. Surprisingly, it only took about an hour. Since we started decorating as soon as we moved in, it feels like our house is less moved in than it was the first week we were here! We have a huge void in one of our arches in the living room. The only thing in that huge nook is an electrical outlet! So I have no idea what to do with that space. Seriously, we need help guys! Give me some ideas pretty please!

On another note, it's almost 2010! I have mixed feelings about 2009. Personally, and as a married unit, we had a pretty great year. We adopted the sweetest puppy a person could ever hope for and we bought our first home. Oh yeah, and I got a job as a teacher this year! For some of our friends though, it has been the worst year of their lives. Here's to wishing everybody the best year in 2010! Happy New Year!



View of most of the living room. Two equal arches on both sides of the fireplace. New sectional (see previous posts) will replace ugly bachelor couches soon! I'm not really a fan of that bookcase against the wall on the left either. Excuse the mess... although the Christmas decor is packed, it's not yet in the garage!


View from the front door. Arch is on the left. Pardon the poor quality of the pictures -- I was playing around with the shutter speed.

Daily To Do List (Courtesy of Saverchic)


Yep, I'm inspired. I think this blog is my long lost twin (and yes, I am STILL convinced I have one out there). She is a teacher, has a new house, is a newlywed (hey, it's only been two years for us!) and loves to create new blogs (remember P365 anyone?).

I am totally going to "borrow" her daily to-do lists. It's awesome! If I can break my wifely dutiful blah blah chores into smaller chunks I can totally keep a clean house. Right? RIGHT!?

So, if you need motivation to clean or ideas for what to do, I highly recommend checking Saverchic's blog out.

(P.S. I found you on the nest if you're wondering why this strange girl is raving about your blog!)
