Happy Friday 10/15/21

Happy Friday! How are you? How was your week? We had a guest stay with us over the weekend so set up a bed in the guest room. It was just furniture we already had - nothing fancy - but I loved seeing cozy touches in here and it sure would be fun to decorate this room as a guest space for real. But Garrett and I have missed all that space for working out! So we’re going to pack the bed and the rug down to the basement and roll the yoga mats back out…for now. And the next time a guest comes, we’ll set the bed back up again. Will it be a pain to haul a bed up and down from the basement every time a guest comes? Probably. But we don’t have guests too often so we’ll give it a shot!

Anywho, that’s where our guest bedroom is right now. And here are some fun links from the week…
