She's Country


A couple months before Karsyn was born, Justin had a "honey-do" list.  His list consisted of replacing the bathroom vanity, putting shelves in Karsyn's closet, painting the bathroom and building a front porch on the house.  He did a great job on all his honey-do's. I'm very proud of him.
 The largest project he tackled was the front porch.  When we bought our house (which is a log cabin), it had hideous metal awnings on it.  They were over all the windows on the front, and there was a large awning over the front door, covering the stoop.  Who does that???  A log cabin can't have awnings!  Needless to say, we quickly removed the window awnings.
Adding the new porch to the house really changed the look of it.  It looks so much better!
We had a set budget for the project and we used every penny of it.  There was no money left at the end to "accessorize" it.  Ideally, we'd like to have rocking chairs and a swing, but we didn't want to go overboard.  So, we are presently saving up for those items.
 Meanwhile, we are using hunting chairs for our front porch seating!  I know, I know....we're rednecks, but hey, you do what you have to do.  However, they are pretty comfy, and they even have built-in cup holders!
Last Saturday, I was feeding Karsyn on the front porch and decided to take a few cute pics.  She just happened to be wearing a John Deere onesie.  I guess maybe she is a little bit country.
Nothing says country more than John Deere and camoflauge, right?
