It's been a while...

I wonder if anyone thinks of this page...checks in?  No?  Yes?  I am so curious.
It is fall here.  Beautiful in a way that I am not sure I have experienced.  Perhaps I have before, but not been in a place where I actually was able to appreciate it.  Who knows.  But what I do is that I am loving this weather, these trees, this place.  Here is a picture of a tree I saw last night on my way to choir rehearsal.  It moved me, so I took a picture of it.  Enjoy!
Say hello once in a while if you miss me, because I miss you indeed.

My new pad!

Hello friends!
My new place has finally gotten to a point to where I can take pictures and you get a general idea of my new place.  I am loving it, think it is is pretty cute, but still have a lot to do!  Enjoy!


This is the living room 
(notice I am staying hydrated as I enjoy a beer!).
The built in bookshelves are wonderful.  I saw those and knew I wanted this place!


The chair in the background is the one I just recovered!  I have the burns to prove it...the glue gun and I are not speaking for a while...but the chair turned out great!

I put some books on this so you could see it well.  Its an old telephone stand built into the wall.  I LOVE it!  Not sure what I am going to put on it, but I am sure I will find some fun way of using it.

My very first dining room, with table and chairs and everything :)  Can't wait to have you over for dinner!

I call this my European kitchen.  Yea, cheesy I know, but with the window and tiny oven, all I am missing is a clothes line out the window and an alley below!

The cupboards are painted metal, very unique, but I love these too!  In case you were wondering, these old apartments are US Army barracks from when Fort Russel was located in Moscow, ID.  This explains the weird cupboards and some other details you will see below...

The hallway (complete with linen closet, YEA!), which leads from living room into kitchen and behind you is the bedroom.

Just so you know, as someone who is 5'10", I can stretch out in this big ole tub.  I have never been able to do that in a bathtub in ANY apartment I have ever lived in!


This bedroom is big enough for a couple sets of bunk beds.  Remember, these were old barracks where multiple people lived.  But I have it ALL to myself :)


Yes, you are seeing things correctly, those are TWO closets.  Count them TWO.  Awesome.

Why you no comment?

I've been wondering, why no one wants to comment on my question below??  The one about going back to high school without hindsight?  Did you think it was hypothetical?  Well, it wasn't.  Discuss means, well, discuss!
Discuss that.
:)

LOVE!

The Boys

In the flurry of people after the ceremony, Garrett graciously put his cap back on so I could pretend I had gotten a picture of him in his cap and gown before it actually happened.  Boy, I must be one annoying aunt.  I don't care...did I say I love this crap?  I do, I really do.  But I think Will does too, because he wanted in on the picture as I took it :)

Payne Family at Garrett's Graduation

Here we are, outside Garrett's graduation ceremony.  No one wanted to stop and take a picture, but alas, they humor me and my darned sentimental annoyance.  I love this crap!

Whoa!

I changed my blog!
After much has changed, I decided that so to should my blog, which, let's be honest, wasn't that exciting anyway!  Not that it is going to be that much more exciting, but I thought it was time for a change in the way I communicate to my friends, so here it is.
My nephew graduated from high school this weekend.  My sweet baby nephew, that was born when I was 12...so he is more like my little brother than I am his "aunt".
It puts things in perspective.  Would I go back?  NO WAY.  Be 18 and starting all over again?  Well, now that you mention it, I would, so I could make some seriously different decisions.  But what if you didn't have hindsight?
Would you make the same choices?  I wonder...
Interesting things to think about.  What would you do?  Would you chose to go back, if you could, but not have the gift of hindsight?
I honestly don't know if I can answer that question.
Discuss...what are your thoughts?

LOVE, from Bubbles. (that's me, in case you were confused)
