The view

Well, it seems I got a picture to post. I guess the site was just having trouble the other day. I don't want to make ya'll jealous or anything, but this is the view I see everyday from my window. This is my back yard, the docks and the lake. Are you drooling yet? This picture was taken before we moved in and our grass did get greener, but now since it is getting chillier, it is starting to look like this again. Also, in this picture, the lake was down by about 4 feet and it is now almost back up to normal, thanks to the downpour we had here last week. It's amazing how it can come up 3 1/2 feet with one good 10 inch rain! Yes, 10 inches (in one day)! Here in Texas, we do everything big! Even our rains are huge! We were lucky and didn't get any flooding up here in Lake Conroe, but there was lots downtown in Houston and a couple people even lost their lives trying to drive through the standing water in the roads. Really sad..

I am finished unpacking and now the fun part is here - shopping for new stuff! I plan on going to the mall tomorrow. First on my list is a new comforter set for our bed and new bath towels and mats for all the bathrooms. I have an idea what I want, but it will be hard deciding on a color scheme for each bathroom since I may change the bedding in those bedrooms and I like things to coordinate. I'm just glad the unpacking is finished and the decorating can begin! It is much more fun.
