blog anniversary!

 

 

Bloganniversaire
 

It's hard to believe that my one year blog anniversary is today! It began as a creative outlet after moving, feeling inspired by my new surroundings but also as a way to keep in touch with my friends and family. Little did I know that it would grow to be so rewarding, and introduce me to so many creative, kind and inspiring people. I have made some great friends, and the blog community has been so good to me. I am looking forward to what the next year will bring. Today I am filled with gratitude, pride, and happiness!

merci tout le monde!


 

quality time…

We had some excellent quality time as a family this weekend. With Billy and I both not feeling 100%, we've been in the house a lot, so we were in desperate need of some good ole sunshine. While Mr. Fleurishing worked on the yard, we watched (ha) and played in the grass. Our backyard is very private-it's like our own little park. A weekend of unplanned, quiet perfection.

This is our neighborhood, and it’s what I’ve always had in my mind as the kind of place I wanted to live. We are settling in, getting to know our neighbors, and enjoying weekend strolls. It may look like suburbia, but we are only a few blocks from the heart of our town and can walk to all the restaurants, shops, and events…we love it. On another note, it’s been a tough few days…I’ve been in a lot of pain physically, with no explanation for it. I’ve had a few tests but no official diagnosis yet…although signs are pointing towards fibromyalgia. It’s the kind of thing that changes your life, but I know I can handle whatever it is with my amazing support system of family (especially my incredible husband) and friends. My posts may be sporadic this week as I deal with this, and get all my work done too…thanks for your patience.
