I found out about this amazing website last week called "Pinterest". I was reading one of my favorite blogs- Young House Love- and the girl was talking about how she had recently joined this site. So I went over to check it out....Can you say
AH-MAZING!!!
It's a place where you can create a sort of digital idea board.
Here's what it looks like:

When you sign up you have to wait about a week to be accepted, but then you can set up your account. It is really easy to figure out. I strongly suggest that anyone with a flair for creativity go check this site out.

The Big Basement Project
A few months ago Aaron and I embarked on the journey or transforming our basement from being a nasty cement hole into being a man cave/ organized storage area.
This has involved lots of weekends spent with Dad Lehman, plus a little bit of outside help. The project has taken waaaaayyy longer than we planned, but I'm sure the end result will be worth it. We are at the point where the drywall needs to be mudded and sanded. Then we can paint. Yay!
Since the sanding is such a messy job we decided it would be best if we removed all of our belongings from downstairs up to the front porch. Keep in mind that we have not yet sorted through all of our belongings from our pre-married lives, so essentially 50% of what we moved was junk. Now our screened in porch looks like something from an episode of "Hoarders"; but we hope to start sorting through all the boxes very soon. We've already planned a joint garage sale with some good friends of ours. I've also made a pack with my friend Jessica that we will not move the junk back into our houses after said garage sale. The sale is set for June 18th, so our basement is sure to be nice and organized before we miss too much summer sunshine.
Here are some lovely "before" and "during" photos of our basement:

Life Last Week
First of all my brother is doing much better. :) Thanks to everyone who asked about him and prayed for him. The consensus was that he was having some trouble with his gallbladder. He got to come home Friday and his gallbladder is still intact. Yay!
In other news two ladies from my church had their babies last week. More Yay! Congrats to the Rohr family and the Ware family. :) Sadly, I spent last week with a stuffy nose, so there was no baby visiting for me. :( But I have been enjoying all the Facebook photos.
Saturday I hosted a bridal shower for my friend Kelli. It turned out quite nice and I was really proud of myself for having everything ready on time. It's so nice to be ready when the guests show up and not running around like a crazy chicken.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for some party planning tricks and tips I have learned. I'm no expert by any means, but I'm willing to share what I have learned through trial and error.
That's all for now. Happy Monday Everyone! :)

A year ago today...
Today's post is in honor of my wonderful house and my wonderful brother:
A year ago today Aaron and I were just beginning the home buying process.
April 3rd, 2010 was also the day my brother called us from South Korea to tell us that a doctor there had discovered some tumors on his spine.
Now a year later, Aaron and I are the proud owners of cozy little home and my brother is doing much better. God has truly been good to us and showered us with many blessings this past year. It was not an easy year by any means. The home buying/wedding planning process is stressful and having to deal with illness in the family is never easy. But God has been there with us every step of the way. How sweet it is to trust in Jesus. :)
* I should mention that Patrick did have some troubles today. He spent this morning in the ER with bad stomach pains... But I am happy to report that he is home now and feeling much better. He was able to get some morphine and fluids at the hospital and that helped quite a bit. All lab work came back normal. We suspect that he just over did it this weekend. So hopefully he will continue to feel better. You can read more of the story on our family blog. There is a link on the right hand side of the page.
