I feel that I need to post something. . .

So we are getting drapes! People, that is the kind of exciting stuff going on at this Crockett household. Wow, having a blog really is pointless unless you, a) have kids or b) are extremely dedicated. I am neither a or b.
But really, the drape issue has been fun. Rob is suddenly set on getting something put on our back sliding glass door. We were pondering shutters (we are going to get shutters for the front windows) but then decided against it. At that point, I didn't really know what we were going to do... Then I saw these drapes in the Pottery Barn catalog. They were perfect! Gorgeous, stylish. I loved them. They were totally going to add to the cosy, comfy feeling of the reading nook (see two posts below, the sliding glass doors are adjacent to the reading nook next to the cream-colored love seat). It seemed the issue was solved. And then I added it all up: Over $300 dollars! And that was just for one panel!
Thank goodness Bed Bath and Beyond is down the street. They have drapes too. And with our 20% off coupon, we are set. We are going there tonight when Rob gets home to get them. I promise a picture will be posted of the whole reading nook area when the drapes are hung. Like I said - Exciting, right?! :)
Speaking of Rob, I just love that guy so so much. He is with the youth in our ward right now, doing baptisms for the dead at the Draper Temple. I love that he is dedicated to his calling, that he is dependable and always willing to serve. There is nothing better in life than to be married to a good man. And one that gets excited about drapes with me to boot! He really is the best.
Stayed tuned for photos. Hopefully soon...
