This

THIS....

Using the word "this", to me, is open ended.  

Right now, "this" for me means...

Fulfilled wants

The future

The dreams

The plans being made

The memories

The conversations

The guests

Our current family

For the little one or ones that are not here yet

And the list can go on.

I presented an idea to Daddy.  Something new was needed to help define our homestead.  A visit to Ana White's website was called for. 

After much thought, planning, buying, building the dream and vision came alive.

The photo below shows our current dinning room.  I often feel that many spaces in our home are just rooms in houses and nothing that feels like home.  Our dining room was one of those places to me. 

 We needed a table that could fit a family.  Guests.  Our future.

That table was crafted. 

That table was built by hand.

That table was built, to house our dreams, by daddy.

I know all you see is a table but this is my "this."

::This table will be filled by our family

::This table will be the starting place for house plans

::This table will be the foundation for our future homestead

::This table will house many conversations about future off-spring

::This table will be enjoyed by our guests

::This will be the setting for many talks about life

::This table will be used for car races and lego building

::This table will house our current life and have plenty of room for our future life.

I hope to one day share a spot at this table with you. 

I married a man who is a crafter.

Who is a dreamer

Who is a can-do'er

Who is stubborn determined

I married a great man.
