This rug is amazing. It's French poetry from Aesop's Fables! I would love this in my room...sigh.
Thanks to Jen from The Haystack Needle for posting this wonderful find on her blog!

My piano competition went really, really, really well...it was better than what I could have even dreamed of. Thank you for your prayers!
We're supposed to get 5-6 inches of snow today and tomorrow. This morning the biggest, fluffiest, lightest snow flakes I have ever seen were falling. It was beautiful, though hard to capture on camera.
When the Super Bowl rolled around yesterday, I didn't really care one way or the other. I didn't even know who was playing until about 3 hours earlier. My friend was rooting for the Saints, so I rooted for them as well. We had to leave after the 1st quarter of the game, but in the last three quarters I was manically checking to see who was winning. I guess I cared more about the Super Bowl than I thought I would?
There were at least 30 birds in a tree in our backyard this morning. This is only a small part of the tree...it was crazy.

I love watching it snow. It mesmerizes me, especially when I'm staring straight up, watching the snowflakes come down. Can you image the number of snowflakes it takes to make 1 inch of snow, let alone 3 feet? And no two snowflakes are alike. It almost overwhelms me when I think about how amazing God is.

The color coat in our upstairs bathroom is up - I love it! We went with a grey that had a blue undertone, so it matches the original blue tile.
I realize that this post covers almost exactly what my last post did...I apologize. I need better blogging material! :)

I have a piano competition at 1 today...I'm really freaked out.
I've been telling myself the whole morning (and will probably repeat it twice as fast as I'm playing) "I can do this, I can do this." Hopefully I can.

Remember when I asked you which necklace you liked best in this post?
Well I decided to go with this one with my initial (C) on it:

It arrived a few days ago - I love it! It's absolutely beautiful. The pendant is a little smaller than I thought, but that's okay...I'm really happy with it.

Lilly has been calling me "sweetie pants" lately...I have no idea where she got that from.
I can't believe that she'll be four next week!
Where in the world does time go...

Our upstairs bathroom renovation is coming along well. The cement board is up, everything is primed...
The next step is painting the color coat!
Yesterday we picked out the paint...it's a little hard to see in this picture, but it's a grey color. I can't wait to see how it'll look on the walls!
Next week, if everything goes well, we should be ready to put up the tile...woohoo!
Speaking of the bathroom, I need to go finish priming a spot that I forgot yesterday...
