Welcome to Second Street!

When I first heard of the concept of blogging, from LT in Spriritual Disciplines, I thought it sounded like fun...who wouldn't want to live out their dream of publishing their journal, even if it is just online? I pushed the idea aside, thinking "I don't want to be a nerd...and only nerds have blogs." So I continued on with my merry life (and marry, I did...) and next thing I know everyone I know has a blog! I decided that I couldn't just follow the trend and get a blog because everyone else did...But today I changed my mind. Who
am I kidding? I want a blog, so here it is. My thoughts from Second street.

As most of you probably know, Nathan and I recently moved into our first house. (It happens to be on Second street, which is why my thoughts are from Second street.) I know that many of you have been awaiting my promise of pictures, so here is a little mini-tour of our humble abode. The first picture is our house from the outside. It's a nice mix between mint and glow-in-the-dark green. One comment I got was, "It suits you guys." Never thought glow-in-the-dark mint would suit me...you learn something new everyday! The outside/yard is where most of the work needs to be done.


The next picture is our kitchen/dining room. This picture was taken right before Trevor and Rebekah came over for supper...we finally had the house cleaned...we had to take pictures of it! jj













Next is the living room. We're enjoying having our new furniture finally fit where we have it. It was fairly squished into our apartment.



Our bedroom is much smaller than our last one (our last one was wheelchair accessable or something). But it's red, not white, and that makes up for every square foot we lost.



Our second bedroom is storage/computer room/scrapbooking room/library. It's dark blue.







Downstairs we have a large rec room (aka. Nathan's work out room - "man-space"). We also have a third bedroom (caramel coloured), second bathroom (blue-ish teal) and laundry room downstairs too.


Overall this is a wonderful place to start out. It's a good size for two but is able to easily hold company and youth and, someday, kids. It is very much home, and my dream is that it becomes a home to everyone who steps foot inside.

So that is our place on second street...the place where I think and ponder and write from. Enjoy!
