Mr & Mrs Peters

I titled this post “peanut butter goodness” because of some absolutely amazing cupcakes that I tried at work today. For a birthday one of my friends made devil’s food chocolate cupcakes with a peanut butter frosting. To say that they were good would be a crime, because it wouldn’t fully describe just how… well, yummy they were!

I realize I haven’t posted in awhile, mostly because every time I think to write on the blog, I can’t really think of anything all that exciting to write about. I mean, as entertaining as my thoughts seem in my head, I don’t want to bore anyone with topics such as why I am continually disturbed by the fact that women feel the need to dress like prostitutes at weddings. See, who would want to read my rantings about that subject??

So, instead, I will give an update on our lives…

Justin is currently in the middle of a project that started out as installing a sprinkler system and has somehow morphed into re-landscaping the entire front and back yards. While I do love his creative ideas, I have a feeling I might need to get a second job soon! In all seriousness, I am so grateful that he has the ability to work on the house himself. Doing projects would be a LOT more expensive and stressful if we had to pay someone else. 

What have I been up to? Well, my life the last week or so has consisted of doing absolutely nothing but reading during my free time (i.e. when I am not working, sleeping, or attending previously scheduled social engagements). Ever since I was little I have had this thing with books- once I get into a really good book, it becomes literally impossible to put it down. Book series are the worst for me because once I finish one book, I immediately have to keep reading the next, and on and on it goes. Suffice to say, I have read approximately 2,000 pages over the 10 days. Yes, I know, I am a psycho. Justin is happy that I am near the middle of my last book in the series, so I should be done in the next day or so (depending on how much reading I can get done tonight- I won’t be home til later than normal because of plans with friends). Once I am done, I can return to being a somewhat-normal functioning wife… Oh, and if you were wondering- the book series I am reading is the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. And for all you out there judging me- no, the book isn’t just for teenagers. I know plenty of adults who enjoy the books too!

So, that’s our life story right now.

You can’t really tell from the photos, but we painted to room “sky” which is a really pretty pale shade of blue. All the doors and baseboards are a sort of tan/cream color, as opposed to the traditional white.

Here is the changing table… Also, the swing that Amy and I put together.

Ahhh, family…

Of walking in your front door after being gone for a few days! I didn’t even realize how much I missed our home. Skyla was happy to see us, but had a good time this weekend playing with our two neighbor kids who took care of her (and even played her favorite game with her- soccer!!).
We had SUCH a good time this weekend with Bryant and Amy, and the nursery is all set up. Everything looks great! I will work on getting pictures up tomorrow.
