Welcome

I know this is a lot later than I originally said,

but after much ado

here are some pictures of our new residence

in Salt Lake City.

It is still a work in progress, but here is a peek.

P.S. There are a lot of pictures

Part of our bedroom

Coffee table I found on KSL and refinished

Our beautiful wardrobe my dad made

Another angle of our living room

Our Lovesac couch

My first sewing project: I sewed all the pillows!

I got this beautiful clock yesterday with my two

sister in laws!

The Paris picture is from my Study Abroad

Our Kitchen

The kitchen island Adam assembled

Our antique cabinets,

not a lot of space but love the charm!

Our Master Bathroom

Large tile shower and pedastool sink

My favorite feature:

The exposed brick wall in the master bathroom

The entrance to my closet

A little peek into the walk in closet

We have an additional bedroom, but that is a "work in progress"

which is code for a storage room for all of our things that don't have a home yet!

I am hoping to get it organized in the next two weeks.

I am also embarking on making a bed skirt, so I will keep you posted!

We love our new little home and the beautiful location!

Remember

In the last week, I have felt compelled to put a copy of the constitution and declaration on my blog.

I am not the type of person who is an activist, I avoid controversy at all cost,

which in some situations would be a fault.

That is why I decided today, when we celebrate the birth of Christ,

In a country where I can choose for myself what I would like to celebrate

I put up 2 paragraphs from the Declaration of Independence that have seemed to be forgotten.

Please take some time to read these paragraphs,

and remember all those lives that have been given to ensure freedom,

and the laws and documents that forged the path that we are on.

We need to be careful that these rights are not taken away.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
