No More White WALLS















So finally after 2 years I decided I was fed-up with white walls. I took 2 days off last week and painted my loft and entire living room...vaulted ceilings and all. It was extremely hard and tiring but it looks great now. I could not have done it with out the help of my girls, Eden, and Aaron (Eden's boyfriend). It took 4 long days and now it needs some good decorating sense but I love it. The wall along the stairs is Lincoln Cottage Brown. The loft is Mesa Tumbleweed & the other accents are Faint Maple. I was going to the entire room the cottage brown but Ricky did not approve. It was pretty dark however I did get to keep one wall. It looks good, pic's don't do it justice. I am going to add the dark blue (office wall color) behind the amore' in the loft but haven't done that yet. All these colors tie the house together. Next is adding curtians, pictures, accessories, etc. That's the fun part :). Here are some pic's. Let me know what you think.

July Birthday Girls





























July is a busy month for the Meyer family with the 4th and the 2 Birthday's. Moggy & Papa took them to the Barnum & Bailey Circus and we watched the fireworks up @ Estrella. Both girls woke up to balloons, confetti, & paper mache' with their favorite breakfast (chocolate chip pancakes) and gifts. Ashtyn is now 6 years old and Kylan is 3. We are going to Nana & Grampa's for a birthday party in Washington so the birthday celebration will last for the entire month of July. How fun is that :). We have all been enjoying the hot weather and trying to stay cool by swimming in the pool. Ashtyn is off @ Nana's and Grampa's for 3 weeks. I know they will enjoy some quality time together. Mommy & daddy will enjoy some quality time with Kylan. Our focus now is "potty training". Everyone enjoy your week.

Living By Design, Not Default

So here is my first blog. Thanks to Lisa for giving me the inspiration to go for it. It's a lot more interesting than just sending regular email. I am trying to live my life by design not default. I took a great training class with Kraft called "Efficacy for Women" and that was the motto. "Live Life by Design, not Default."
