Our bedroom

Today is a post about me, not my business :)

Took some photos of Brett last week on our bed. I think its kinda interesting and thought it would be a fun blog topic to go over some of the things you see in the photo :)

First off the quilt behind the bed was given to us from my maid of honor for a wedding gift. She had a friend of hers make it. Its beautiful and we love it! thus it is displayed on the wall.

2) The afghan at the foot of the bed was made for our wedding by my cousins' grandmother who has passed away since then. We love it and is such a cherished item now.

3) The very back pillows have pillow cases I made just for decoration to match this ensemble.

4) very top right corner is a page I was published in a magazine, we have a turtle so i choose that particular one to display. You can see the entire shelf of magazines, two shelves from teh top that has all the magazines I have been published in.

5) Below that shelf is framed photos of both Chris and I from when we were toddlers.

6) very top of the bookcase by the published magazine is where we keep our cherished childhood bears. in this picture you can see my bear gigi that i have had since I was born. you can also see the cabbage patch doll that Chris bought me for our 5 year dating anniversary. I had never gotten one as a child and so Chris bought me one :) Chris has a few things up there too, they are just cut off by the photo edge.

7) Right next to that is a TINY purple turtle, you can barely see it, but its an inside joke between three friends of mine from high school. I wont go into the joke, but I still have mine and its put up there :)

8) Top shelf is where we keep all our religious materials, bibles, biblical books, study guides, etc

9) On that same shelf are pooh letter figurines that are "A" and "J", that is my nickname that my dad calls me. In fact if he calls me Angela is WAY too weird!

10) bottom two shelves are just random books that are not arranged nicely! LOL!

11) on the other side of the room you can see the bed brett slept in for the first 5 months that was purchase by above mentioned maid of honor :) seriously was a life saver, he LOVED that thing!

12) On the right side of the bed is Chris' nightstand. You can see a tiny little carmax jar. yup he cant go to bed without putting it on his lips! he also has a glass of water every night before bed, thus the big cup. and then his alarm clock cell phone and change are also there.

13) My night stand on the other side, has the lamp that use to be in our living room at our old place and the phone that i just love and then one of those giant remotes. I bought it for chris for christmas because i got tired of him always saying he cant find the remote. well the darn thing wont work with our tv, it will turn it on and off and change the volume, but only half the numbers work and the channel up and down doesnt so it just sits there :)

and Last: Our bed, we bought it October 2001, about 3 months after getting married on one of those 15 months no interest deals :)

So what can you not see in the photo?

*On the right side is where our pet turtle tommy is, the only funny story there is that Chris broke his tank when we moved into this house so its a nice new tank

*On the left side is where the rocking chair my mom used with me and gave me when brett was born

*also on teh left side is a wooden box that chris made me in 9th grade wood shop and gave to me for our first valentines day back in 1995 :)

*behind the camera is where our dresser with TV is. no story there :)

So this is our bedroom, for some reason when I posted this photo last week I just thought it was filled with "fun info" :)
