Some Fun News

Dearest blog friends, I am so excited to tell you all that my home is featured in the March 2008 issue of Romantic Homes! When I found out they were coming to photograph my house, and then which issue it would be in, I couldn’t contain my happiness! This is like a dream come true for me. If you all only knew how ordinary my life is sometimes, with a messy house, and me (unshowered half the time) in front of my computer all day….  This is very surreal to me.

I could hardly control myself these last few weeks wanting to shout about it from the rooftops and tell all of you! I haven’t even seen the issue yet or the pictures they took, so I am so envious of you east coast ladies who get to see it before me. I was shocked this morning to wake up and already have messages from those of you who have seen it.

I feel so fortune to have this honor. I really do feel I owe it all to you (my blog friends), and most importantly Tara, who submitted the photos of my home to the editor for consideration. Thank you Tara!

(Lol… that reads like an acceptance speech, you would think I won an Oscar or something!) I do apologize if this is coming off as vain or self indulgent, but this is truly the most exciting this that has ever happened to me, and I have to share it with the world!

I promise to add some photos to this post just as soon as I get my issue!

By the way, I am aware that they spelled my name wrong. Jacqueline (the editor) promised to make it up to me.
