A New Sofa
We ordered our new sofa the first week in January. They told us to expect 59 days since it was special order, but most of the special orders were coming in around 35 to 40 days. Okay, we agreed...then I got the brilliant idea for photos of us on our sofa outside...remember? I had every intention of bringing that sofa back inside to live on until the new one arrived, but when we invited Jack to be in the photo he hiked his leg on it and the sofa was stored in the garage.
We have been without a sofa forever! I called a week before the 59 days were due to expire to be told they would call us when it arrived. When we showed up 59 days later at the store we were told that they never got our order and that the next estimated date of arrival was the 23rd of March, same day as Paul's surgery.
So we waited...and when Paul showed up a day before his surgery at the store we were told that the fabric I had picked out was on back order. We were told it would be here next week...but it came this week and was delivered today and we are so happy to have the sofa we have been paying on since January.
Here are a few pics...
The only thing is I don't like the table between our sofa and the entertainment center. I am going to work on this area and make it awesome so this is my before pic, once I get the things I think we need it will be great!
I am also going to get rid of this dinky shelf and hang some great photos on this wall...at least in this picture you can see the color we painted our walls...
Right now we are just enjoying having furniture again, and it couldn't have come at a better time! Paul actually took an hour nap on it today, a couple of times. At least he now has another place to try and get comfortable.
The new rule is not eating on the sofa, but I ate my lunch on it this afternoon and it was awesome!

Something Major
Everyone close enough to me to have my number knows that when I don't blog, something major is going on at the Payne house...this week it has been recovering from surgery for Paul.
He's my husband, he's my lover, he is the father of my youngest child...but he is so much more. These last few days have been rough on him, but rough on me to watch.
If you are easily grossed out then close this blog out and walk away.... WARNING... the next pic is ok...the others are not!
Friday he went in for surgery on his shoulder. It was out patient surgery, but recovery has been hard for him, and hard for me not knowing if I am doing things right. We were totally unprepared for the last couple of days and what to expect.
Accidently I let the daily grind get in the way, and I take things for granted...even if I don't mean too. When they wheeled him off to surgery I felt the deepest pang in my chest.
Watching him these last few days I find myself asking, how did I ever live without him?
We have come a long way since Friday! And there is lots to catch up on. But right now we are resting, and I am taking care of the one I love the bestest!

Can you say beautiful?
I am almost certain that if you looked up the definition of beautiful, Taylor's name would be listed.
Gavin made an attempt to help...
While Macey found a worm and continued to beg for me to stop what I was doing to find her a box to put it in so she could take it to school, to which her father finally stated "There is no worming!" He said this without a trace of a smile. To which Taylor and I cracked up. Nope, no worming...new family rule.

Our Magnolia Tree
Once a year our magnolia tree blooms and I send the week or two admiring the beauty.
Jack wants to climb the ladder with me...
Right now there are only a few blooms on the ground...
This was last year when they covered the ground!
Wanna see more of my favorite tree? here...

Springing Forward
I love the fact that our clocks get to spring forward an extra hour. It means one extra hour of daylight for me! One extra hour to spend looking at the world behind my camera lens. Here are a few things we saw today...
This pics makes me think of our Dancing Queen...she is still singing.
