Fixer Upper

So I've been binge watching Fixer Upper on Netflix. One thing I really like about the show is how it make the "american dream" of home ownership possible, even for a family with a $100,000 budget. Granted, it's in Texas and house prices are different in every state, but still I can dream, right?

The part I love most is seeing how the house is transformed not only through construction but interior design. Since that is something I can control more in our rental apartment, I thought I'd post the latest pic from my ongoing wreath project:

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Winter. This was my view as I headed out to the parking lot:

While the weather may look depressing, it's a sign that the end is near.
For most of the year, I've been associating snow and winter with birth. I'd think about how I'll have to haul baby to school in the snow or how I'll have to bundle baby up so he won't be too cold.  I'd think about how I might be giving birth over the holidays. And now, there's just 7 weeks left to go! So I welcome the snow as a sign of the times.

Rhetorically,
