It's All Perspective

Today I am sharing pictures with you of my scrap room.  Jerry and I have been working on it all week, and I finished it up today.  Before I do that, though, I wanted to share something I was thinking about all day while I was moving my things.  I had this room once, and last July when Shane moved home, I gave it up so that he could have the big room.  I moved all of my things into the tiniest little space, and that's what I have been working out of for the past 11 months.  People couldn't believe I gave up the big room.  I realized today that when you are a Mom, you'll sacrifice easily to make your child comfortable and happy.  It doesn't matter what age they are. Even though he has moved out to a big room of his own, my prayer is the same for Shane - that he is comfortable and happy - no matter where he goes or what he does.

Well, okie dokie - on to the pictures! 

I think this is my favorite wall.  I took two layouts that I really loved and framed them as decoration.  This is what I see when I look up from my desk.  The rocking chair in the second photo is 33 years old.  My mother gave it to me when I was 16, and it was the chair I rocked Shane in when he was a baby.  Jerry's dad had it re-finished for me, so it really is an important piece of furniture to me!  In the last pictures, you'll see that I am blessed to have not only a closet, but a cubby built into the wall.  I LOVE that in this room, and I have fully taken advantage of it!

Finally, I couldn't end my post without showing you what Jerry was up to this morning!  It was muckie opener today, and he landed himself a 42" muskie!
