Design on a Forint

My friend Robyn and I decided to do a little redecorating at our respective houses this Summer. We painted her craft room and my bedroom and decided that when our time serving as missionaries overseas is over, maybe we can start a painting business :)

I've been telling my mom about my new green wall, but I think words don't do it justice. So....without further ado....here is my new room!

Does anyone notice the clean lines?

This is my new chair from Ikea.

I've been wanting a Quiet Time place for a long time. Thanks, Lord!

This is the cleanest my desk will be until at least Christmas when I stop to clean it up again. I just finished painting some shelves for above and am going to start looking for an eager and willing shelf installer in the next couple of days.

Going Green, among other things...

One of the things I miss most about life in America is easy access to green. I love Hungary, but sometimes I wish my stroll through the neighborhood included a few more trees and a little less trash! I've been feeling pretty nature-starved, so last week some of my wonderful friends took me on some outdoor excursions. Here are a few pics.

Me, Bethany, and Bonnie

This is a pic from after church on Sunday. We clean up pretty nicely, huh!

Below is a pic of me with my friend Laura. We met in the airport in NY three years ago, and have been friends ever since. (Overweight luggage is a pretty tight bond!) This summer Laura moved back to the US, so we met for lunch and porcelain hedgehog delivery. Thanks to the woman at the make-up counter in Belks, we were able to photo-document our day.

And last, but not least, is one of my favorites. It was so good to spend the afternoon catching up with my friend Daphne. Thanks for the Chex mix and the conversation, friend! The two ballerinas in this picture are her adorable daughters. I'm beginning to think now that I should have been wearing a huge pink flower in my hair as well.

Back by Popular Demand

During my recent trip to the US, I discovered there were actually a few wonderful people out there interested in reading my blog. And so, because I love them, I have decided to begin again.

It only took me about 12 hours to remember my password, but now I'm in and beginning again.

As soon as I figure out my external hard drive, I'll add a few pics from my time in America.
