Maryland Life.

I've snapped some pics during the last week that I wanted to share with Y-O-U. 

Aaron and I each read The Help, and we couldn't put it down. 
I know. 
My sisters, mom and several friends told me to read the book before watching the movie. Even though we had already seen the movie, the book was so much better. Isn't that usually the case with books? If you haven't read it, READ IT!

Homemade pedi. 
Can you tell?!


Some of our friends just had their fourth baby last week and she's adorable. We stopped by the hospital to meet the cute little one. Aaron and I spent last weekend with the three older kids. Everyone at church was happy to see us in parent training mode. We did learn some valuable lessons in raising children. In fact, Aaron planned our FHE activity last Monday and we wrote letters to our future selves as parents and included everything we learned with three kids in three days. 


This is an action shot of Aaron getting his hair cut before starting back to work. (Both Aaron and his dad love Yum, their barber, and she loves them.) Turns out we were given 10 bonus days to get our house organized and put together so Aaron didn't officially start working until last Friday!! 


Since we had more time to work on our home, we decided to fix up this dresser that we found on Craigslist. 

Before...



With a little bit of spray paint and new handles, the dress looks like this!


Do you see that mirror to the left of the dresser? When we picked up the dresser, the seller threw in the mirror for free and we painted it to match. 

I promise to post more pics of our home soon. Or better yet, just come visit and see everything in person. :)

Letters to future self? Hilarious/brilliant. I'm pretty sure I would love Yum too.
