Is it wrong to be in love with my own ingeniousness? Okay well this idea isn’t mine, but hey I remembered it! I think it was in a Real Simple magazine a few years ago, or something like that. Totally easy. I’ve been wanting to do this in the stairwell since I moved in, but …

Back to Life, Back to the Stairwell
Remember what I was working on before, well, everything? The stairwell, the-15-foot-tall-in-some-places-that-are-too-hard-to-reach-full-of-cobwebs-and-a-nasty-beige-colored stairwell. My friends I will conquer this stairwell! With the help of a Making Memories foam brush, copious amounts of blue painters tape, and a super extend-o stick I will do it! Hopefully with pictures tomorrow. I’m kinda on a paint fume high …
And Found
There is nothing sweeter than a good morning thrifting with your best friend to get you back on the road to happiness.Sciarrino and I hit the sales Saturday morning. The first stop was a house we both adore on High Street, a couple blocks down from me. I got the seven dollar folding card table …
Normal is not a word I know.
I know, I know. "Amber are you okay?" "Where are you?" "I’ve been checking your blog, and I’m concerned." I’m concerned about me too. Nothing seems to be going right. And that’s hard for an optimist like me to take. I want to be happy and giggly and think about silly things all day long. …
But then he had to go and be all funny like that.
Today was so long and not that exciting and I wasn’t feeling all that blessed about being the one who gets to take grandpa to his doctor’s appointments and make sure paperwork gets notarized and blah, blah, blah. I stayed up late, with out a real purpose mostly because Bj was back at work this …

Birthday Boys, Bowling, and Buffalos
Friday was Bj’s 25th birthday, happy quarter century babe! Friday my mom and Bill cooked up a great meal for Bj. Brent and Grandpa joined us over there. Grandpa can’t get over 1. How small everyone in my family is and 2. How much less expensive things are in Oregon than Southern Cal. Oh and …
Wedding – The Ceremony
Okay since I changed my name officially yesterday I thought it would be a good time to continue on with the photos of our wedding. Plus nothing picks me up like looking at these photos. And since I did cave right before we found out about Bj’s dad and got Ceara sang us the most …
Mucho Gracias
Okay thank you, thank you, thank you! We have loved reading the comments from everyone. It is amazing how our friends and family have gathered around us to help so much. I haven’t really had to deal with a very close death like this before, and I don’t know any one who has either, so …
We made it.
If there is one thing I’ve learned in my short marriage, it’s that sticking together and just being there for each other is the most important thing. No matter what, when things go bad, go so wrong you just can’t believe it, you have to stick together. That’s what Bj and I have been doing …
For Better…
Or worse. Yesterday Bj and I got the biggest shock of our lives. His mom called me looking for him to tell him that his father passed away. He was only 55 years old. He lived in California and took care of Bj’s grandfather, who found him yesterday. We’re not sure exactly what happened, we …
