Some of our place

The place we're renting is extremely close to the ocean. We love it! I can run there in about 5 minutes. Yesterday I decided to take Finn on a run. Start time - 7:30am. Stop time - 9:20am. Why so long you ask? I got lost. Very lost.

I kept running down roads that I thought led to ours, only to have my hopes dashed by a dead end. Then I would turn around and do the same thing again. Finally, when I knew I was really lost (and really tired) I asked a lady walking her dog how to get back to our street. It turns out that I was headed in completely the wrong direction, to the next town, Falmouth. There are no landmarks dag-nab-it! How am I supposed to navigate here?! Next time I'll have to bring our GPS. Anyway, my 40 minute run turned into a 1/2 marathon. Good thing Finn never complained. He's such a good little running buddy!


One of my hobbies is interior design. I love it! I really like collecting meaningful pieces for our home. Here is our living room all finished. Our apartment is super bright with lots of windows. I really like it. I'll take more pictures of the rest of our place when it's all finished. But for now, here are a few pictures. And no. It's not usually this clean.

I am in awe!! First, that you can just up and run a half marathon, and second that you already have your new place all decorated and looking amazing. I seriously love it!! Makes me want to redecorate my entire house. :)

I'm glad you guys made it out there safely and seem to be getting settled. Good luck to all of you as Dennen starts school!

Hilary- Your style reminds me of a lady who has style a lot like you. She even designs her own fabrics. She makes big bucks doing it and has been in several magazines. You do just as good if not better...I like the fact you buy at thrift stores and re-do them. Check out her site. Very similar. http://caitlinwilsondesign.blogspot.com/
