Obama came to East Lansing this week for a rally and despite our intentions, neither Brady nor I got to see him due to car troubles (Our alternator wiring has gone awry)We have enjoyed critiquing the debates, making fun of the candidates, and arguing about Sarah Palin with eachother.



We bought this flooring with a portion of our stimulus check and have been enjoying our lanoleum free kitchen.
As Brady said I have been doing a few home improvement projects. As part of one of them I posted this picture on HGTV's Rate My Space to see if I could get any ideas on what to do with this akward space. Well, it just so happens that this ugly space (previously occupied by a wood stove) was the HGTV websites featured space for several hours. I bought a large plant and put it there for now but if anyone has any ideas I could use suggestions.

one thought I had for your little corner is an idea I borrow from a friend of mine. She has a bay window in her kitchen and in that area she put several big pillows and a basket of books and she spends time reading to her son there every day. Maybe you already have a little place like that in your home, I'm not sure. But there's nothing like pillows to soften an area up. :) Your floor looks great. We have hardwood floors all throughout our student housing except the kitchen and the bathroom. It gets old after a while when it is EVERYWHERE. :) But, I love it in your kitchen!

PS Does Brady have a fall break? We really need to get together. Tomorrow is 2 months since we got here...and we still haven't seen you guys yet. I think it's just about time!! Hooray!
