Crazy Life of a Logger's Wife

The grand essentials of happiness:
Something to do
Something to love
Something to hope for



Believe it or not, this was part of a graduation speech on a cheesy ABC Family sitcom called Greek. If you haven't seen it, it's one of those grow on you shows that I can't quit watching. Makes me think about my own time on campus, but I am especially fond of the lovable, cute nerd named Rusty that the show is centered around. And I'm so excited because a new season of Greek just started tonight, so for the next few months, Matt and I will be found on Monday nights watching this show, no matter how cheesy it is.

And while I'm watching Greek, I'll be working on my new Project Life--Turquoise edition. Can't wait to get that going, just arrived in the mail today! I am three days away from having my first year's Project Life finished, and I cannot begin to tell you how fufilling it is to have an entire year's worth of memories documented and completed. I have about 10 packed to the brim scrapbooks, probably over 500 12X12 layouts that I treasure, but this book is so real. It's not dressed up with chipboard and stitching and endless ribbons and embellishments. It is life. Real life. The pictures are what really goes on in the Brown household. And it's not all pretty. Some days I had nothing else to photograph except for a line up of cold medicine and Vicks on the counter. Lots of photos show Tucker learning to go potty, because let's face it, 2010 involved a lot of potty training. It also shows a pregnancy test, ultrasounds, lots of days that I was too miserable to take a photo because I had morning sickness all day long. And yet, somehow, I managed to piece together a story that tells what it was like in 2010. And I love it. And while I am just switching over to a new computer, and I haven't had the opportunity to download any recent photos onto my new machine, take my word for it, and order Project Life on Amazon. And stick with it. And don't get down on yourself when you don't. Just make it what it is. Real life. And love it.
