Master Bedroom Idea

I am trying to figure out a way to really make my master
bedroom stand out and possibly do something to move
the eye up to the ceiling...

Do you all think that the ceilings would look good
with something similiar to the picture below?
I have a had a few people say that this will bring the eye upward and
make the ceilings and the room itsself look larger.

What do you all think I should do with the ceiling? I could also paint
the middle of the ceiling to draw the eye even farther up, but
it will be a few months before I change the light fixtures and ceiling fans.

Just A Quick Question...

Has anyone grabbed my button and added to their blog? If so, let me know so I can add YOUR button to my blog. I'm all about sharing the love. Thanks. :)

Ps - Moving day is TOMMORROW. Can you believe it?? I'm sure you all are like, "okay Ashley, it's getting old already!" ha!

Sister Wives

So, there is another show on TLC called "Sister Wives." It is about a polygamist that lives with 4 other wives. I saw the commercials and it just had my curiousity running so I decided to watch. The show gives you a really deep intimate look into their lives and how it actually works out in their culture. Although my religion does not agree with having more than one wife, I can see where these women have a sense of security, love, bonding, sisterhood, and companionship by all living together.

I think the main thing is that they take the quote "it takes a village to raise a child..." very literally. They all help with chores and with caring for the children and they also have time to themselves also. They even have their own apartments. Below is a video giving you a sneek peak of what the show is all about - then you can make your own assumption about the show.

A Very Random Sunday

I have been looking at all of the posts over at Kelly's Korner Show Us Your Life.
I am very jealous that some people seem to have their houses complete.
Mine is just getting started!

This is the fountain that I love so dearly.
You can turn the light off and just listen to the water running.
I haven't decided where to put it in the new house (suggestions?)
It is currently in my master bedroom, but nobody sees it but me.
This, as most readers know, is my amazing prince charming.
He has been my biggest fan from day one and I can't wait to suprise him
with the man cave he has already dreamed of. (Post later)
This is me. (on a good day, a really good day I must add!)
I do not look like this 99% of the time.
Most of the time, I'm still in my PJs and no makeup when hubby gets home.
Desperate Housewife I guess :)
This is my grandmother, Sarah Wilson.
She really needs prayers right now in a big way.
She has multiple Myeloma and is having extreme head pain.
She gave us a scare yesterday and we thought it was the end.
Cherish everyday with those you love!
While I was choosing pictures to post today, I came across this.
My boys look so little in this picture and they are not so little anymore.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them...
but I miss them being little.
This is a big week for the family as we are setting out on the big move I have been posting about. I am going to hire a painter so I do not have to worry about it and just move right in and get down to decorating business. I cannot wait to post the progress! Are you a follower or a reader of this blog? If so, please let me know by either becoming a follower or leaving a comment.
Hope everyone has a great, random, peaceful sunday just like me :)
