A couple things have happened around here that seem to prove that this shift in our lives was meant to be. The first is this winter. Its been a tough one. Linda said this has been the worst winter since 1978, which was the first year she and Dave lived in this house, and started up the nursery. Weird.

And then this stool happened.

We had some friends over the other day and we were all putting our boots on in the mudroom. There was a consensus that we needed to get a stool of some sort to put in the corner so we can sit when we're getting ready for outside. Then we walked down to the A-frame and upstairs sat this stool. The exact same color we painted the dining room. It fits so perfectly its a little bit creepy.

It just feels right.
