The start of a scrapping room

Lead me...
I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're in independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't You lead me?
To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love,
Chasing things that I could give up
I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone...

I am the lucky one...
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
I rescued a human today."
I know he chose me that day. He jumped up and said that one needs loving. And I am the lucky one for him choosing me.

Business...
Failure to Excommunicate- Relient K
Ugh. I have not blogged since valentines. Almost a month has passed. Not that I am some super blogger anyways. But anyways this is my last semester in school so I had to double up on classes, which reminds me I need to go and sign up for commencement right now, anyways because of this and the stress that work is making me feel, along with the boys and house renovations I am pretty much completely busy and exhausted. We kinda tor apart the downstairs bathroom this weekend. For some dumb reason I was going to try and live with the ugly counter top on the vanity and paint the bathroom red. So I painted one coat of the red about four months ago, then never finished it. Well thank goodness a pink french toile towel at target brought me to my senses and we repainted it a light blue/grey color called pelican and tore out the counter top and sink and replacing it with a new plain white counter top and super cute faucet. O and we have painted the oak vanity white and added super cute pink nobs. now we just need to save up to do the bathroom floors. Hopefully this weekend I can have before and after progress pics to post.
With graduation approaching I have been doing a lot of thinking of what I want to do with my life.... There are so many things I want to get into once I don't have the stress of school to worry about. Cause really school is a major stressor on me. I kinda get anxiety over even the thought of doing homework and it really just causes a kink in my week. There are hobbies I want to pick up again such as a social life, scrapbooking and leisure reading. And there are hobbies I want to start such as photography. I would love to really learn how to take beautiful pictures so I could capture beautiful moments. And there are causes I want to fight for. Right now I volunteer for nothing but there are so many things I am passionate about i'm having a hard time trying to figure out where to. I would love to volunteer at an animal shelter, or volunteer for an organization like pro life, do volunteering at church, or there are many other options. anyways I need to do something to change the world and not just sit on my bum... I would encourage anyone reading this to do the same. Is there stuff you are passionate about? Are you actually doing something about it or just sitting and complaining about it? I know right now I am just sitting and I know that needs to change..

Happy Valentines Day!
But back to valentines. We went and saw valentines day the movie last night, cute flick, and than went downtown to the Melting Pot for dinner. The melting pot is a four course fondue dinner. It was so yummy!!!!! And then in spontanity we stayed downtown for the night at the Marquette hotel.. It was a great day!!!!!!!!!!I hope everyone else has a great Valentines too!
Lastly I will leave you some pics of my future projects and some decorating I have been doing lately..
Here is the Kitchen, The renovations include painting all the cabinets white, adding harware to them, and putting in new countertops, probably butcher block...
This is my scrapping room. So far we have painted the pink, put in the chandelier, and hung the curtains. Right now it is like the storage room, But i still need a desk and furniture for it anyways so once that happens it will get organized and set up. I am thinking of white painted furniture including a desk and hutch/shelf type thing and an old vintage chair or a slipcovered comfy jenny lund chair from ikea, like this: JennyLundChair
And last here are some pics of the new chandelier and new decor...
