that's quite the view! Looks very similar to a lot of the things we've been doing around here lately, I feel for you! But it will look awesome when it's done.

That does look like a beautiful home! That's like a full wall of windows--how wonderful. I'm sure all your work will be worth it, but that's got to be hard to wait. Good luck and let me watch your kids one day while you work! :) Just give me a call.

Wow!! I love it. I love the windows and the view. I adore the blue in the kitchen (are you going to accent with orange? Please tell me you are..).

I hope that all the work goes well and quickly and can't wait to see pictures of the beautiful children in the beautiful home....

I also love the church bench. I want one, did you inherit it? Where does one find such a thing?

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps.

I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me.

It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
