A Change of Scenery

After all the changes that have been going on around here over the past few months, we decided that we needed to give Eric a space of his own at the house. He needed a place to be able to make sensitive calls, or to sit quietly and make decisions, or to study in peace. We even thought that if he had his own space, he could do some interviews here at home. My dad did many interviews at home during his time in Ward and Stake leadership. While we knew he was unavailable at times, we knew he was there! And I remember being grateful that he was there.
So, we made some changes to the room situation here at home. Shelby was previously in her own room. However, she would sleep on the floor of the little girls' room whenever we'd let her. So, we moved her into the same room with the little girls. It's very squishy in there, but they seem much happier. Next, we moved Chandler down to Shelby's old room... after we redecorated, of course.
Here's Chandler's new BYU themed room...


And here is Eric's new office...


I love the office. Sometimes I even go sit in there to find a little peace of my own.

We've learned something from this... Make wherever you are -- HOME! Even though we had big plans of buying/building a big beautiful home before Eric was called as Bishop, we are learning to make the most of and be grateful for what we have. We know we're very blessed... even with our little home.
