text: A yes are having eqs worth it? like does it help any? im looking at the CLARION EQS746 eq, Im not sure how you hook these up but if someone could help me i would appreciate it? does having one of these cancel out the eq on the hu and the eqs on the amps? Does it even Cancel out the remote bass knob for the sub amp? So do i run a RCA for each out put of my Hu like Sub, Front, Rear, to each Input on the EQ? or would i just run one set of RCAs out of the Hu to the Main Input on the EQ then run seperate RCAS to each amp, like Sub to Sub Amp, Front To Fronts Amp? does it give you better sound and control? thanks

Recently, Governor Rick Scott of Florida was quoted in the Herald Tribune as saying that he wanted to devote state funding resources to encourage students to graduate with degrees in science, technology, engineering and medical degrees, noting "the state doesn't need any more anthropologists."
We ask that you join this petition to have Gov. Scott meet with representatives from the Florida anthropology community as well as our colleagues in humanities and social sciences, who are also threatened by his comment about anthropologists. The goal of the meeting would be to initiate a proactive dialogue about our particular diverse contributions to the scientific advancement, economy, and well-being of Florida. We will be collecting signatures for the next two weeks, and plan to submit our request on Monday, October 31.
Thank you for joining this petition, and helping us underscore the value of humanities-related and social science research and study not only in Florida, but nationwide.
To sign the petition, below, add your name to the reply box below along with any constructive comments you have for the Governor.
Thank you for joining our petition, and helping us underscore the value of humanities-related research and study not only in Florida, but nationwide.
Utilize the Free Speech Anthropology Forum to continue the discussion on this topic and follow the member coverage of Governor Rick Scott.

Take A Pass on Easy Access to Cards and Other Accounts With Strong Passwords
Take the time to follow these six tips for making your passwords less easy to breach. It will help keep your financial accounts, cards and email accounts out of the hands of hackers.
1. Create "strong" passwords for debit cards, credit cards, online retailers and personal email accounts. The passwords should have numbers, upper- and lower-case letters, and symbols. For example, "3Dogz$$!" is better than "1006."
2. Use different passwords for work and personal email accounts, bank accounts and online retailers. If a hacker cracks one password, he won't have access to others.
3. Never use for a password the last four digits of your Social Security number, your maiden name, date of birth, middle name, child's name, pet's name or anything else easily discovered or guessed.
4. Discourage your bank from using the last four digits of your SSN as a default PIN. If they do, change it.
5. Change your passwords regularly.
6. Memorize all passwords or store them in a secure location. Don't record them on anything you carry with you—including your cell phone.

Flagler town receives much need community well
It's hard to imagine in this day and age, people in central Florida are without access to safe drinking water.
That's the case in a portion of western Flagler County where water from private wells isn't fit to drink.
In the rural Daytona North community, plenty of people don't have electricity much less clean drinking water.
Steve Keck, his wife and grandson know they can't drink the well water.
None of the about 3,500 residents in the area can drink it.
"It tastes bad," said Keck. "It's never clear, it's orange. It's just pretty rough."
Few can afford expensive filtration systems so they've relied on bottled water, having much of it donated, including last December when the Jacksonville Second Harvest Food Bank trucked in almost 500,000 pounds.
This holiday season, residents can fill up at the brand new water filling station in the Hidden Trails County Park.
It's called Project Grace and residents say, by the grace of God, struggling local residents have easy access to safe, clean drinking water.
"For them to travel to go in town to try and get fresh water, it's impossible and this will be fantastic," said Virginia Keck.
There's no plan or money to bring potable city water out to the far west portion of the county, but residents said they are grateful for a community well that will be open everyday.
"It's an early Christmas present back here," said Steve Keck. "It will be great for all of us."
Flagler County, local cities, civic organizations and individuals raised the just over $61,000 to build the water filling station and by anyone's measure a small price to pay so residents have their basic needs met.

ONE HOOD MEDIA—Jasiri X welcomes guests to the opening ceremony. (Photo by J.L. Martello)
In November 2011, the Heinz Endowments produced a report on how the Pittsburgh media portrays African-American males. While the report found low overall media coverage of Black men and boys, representing only 8.9 percent of all front-page stories; the existing coverage was overwhelmingly tied to crime, with 86 percent of television stories about Black men and boys focused on crime.
As one component of the Heinz Endowments' response to the report, the organization gave One Hood Media and the August Wilson Center for African American Culture a $40,000 grant to fund the One Hood Media Literacy Academy in 2011. The academy for young African-American males gives them the tools to analyze media messages, broaden their media experience and produce their own media.
"The curriculum focuses on breaking down a lot of these images that are promoted toward Black men that are primarily negative," said Jasiri X, one of the academy's creators. "But it also gives them the skills to create their own media so if you see you're being misrepresented, you can create a blog where you say this is how I'm representing myself."
Now One Hood Media is re-launching the academy with an additional two-year $180,000 grant from the Heinz Endowments. On Jan. 25 they held an opening ceremony where they invited the community to learn more about the academy and the misrepresentation of Black males in the media.
"Most of the time Black men are covered it's in crime or sports," Jasiri X said. "I would like (our students) to be more intelligent media consumers in terms of not believing everything the media says about them because often times the media you see is trying to sell you something."
The program is open to 25 African-American males, ages 13 to 19. This year the students in the program will be receiving iPad minis to aid them in learning how to master blogging, video production and social media.
"Young people are really bombarded with more media images than ever before," Jasiri X said. "We're also teaching about appropriate use of social media. So, with how dominant social media has become in our lives, we really think we should teach young people how to use it appropriately."
As a successful hip-hop artist and online blogger, Jasiri X has ample experience with the power of the media. In addition to the attention he's garnered with YouTube sensations like "What if the Tea Party was Black," he also produces an internet news series, "This Week with Jasiri X."
"For me as a hip-hop artist, I don't talk about the things you hear on mainstream radio. By being able to create my own media, I've been able to really create a career for myself," he said. "I blog every week so for me finding that niche in creating media people wanted to see and covering areas that weren't covered led me to building my own career."
The opening ceremony featured Grammy award winning artist David Banner and a performance by One Hood Media Academy graduates Jordan Montgomery and Cameron Layne. Jasiri X said he has been impressed with the wisdom and creativity that came out of the academy's first class of graduates.
"Who speaks for young Black men? We want to empower the young Black men to have their own voice," Jasiri X said. "I was really surprised at the world analysis these young men had so you'd be surprised if you ask them, what they can create."

I ran a batch of images through an AppleScript Finder script that replaced text substrings in the filenames and did so once more to change the extensions to something other than .jpeg. As expected, some of the images, lost their thumbnails, but others didn't and when I CMD+i to view info for these, they still show up as
JPEG image files to be opened in Preview.app, even though they are now .info files.
Any subsequent attempts to rename them or change their extension fails to remove their thumbnail or JPEG association.
Why is this? And how can clear the thumbnails?

There is, however, more sad news. After Gerbil died, I cleaned out the mouse cage and put Squeaky back in there with a paper towel for her to shred to keep her busy. She spent the next two days just kinda sitting on top of the paper towel and not inside her little hut, which was unusual. Squeaky and Gerbil used to curl up together inside their house all day long. It was strange to see Squeaky out of her house so much. Today, we woke up to blood on the paper towel. Evidently her skin condition was not controlled as well as I had thought.
We decided that it was her time and that to keep her alive with skin that probably really hurt was cruel.
Naturally, I'd recently bought four pounds of mouse food.
I took one last trip down to the vet office. Squeaky, you will be missed. We loved you.
After I brought her little body home, Alex buried her next to Gerbil. Instead of using a spoon this time, he pulled out a pick ax. That Alex is (a) strange, and (b) has evidently never seen a shovel.
So now, instead of five little friends running around in their cage next to my desk, they are buried under our butterfly bush. Even Algernon had to pay his respects.
Goodbye, mice. You were good pets and fun to have. I just wish you lived longer.
Things have been a little grim here of late, so I'm going to give you this palate cleanser from Sam's last soccer game of the season. I don't have any actual photos of the game, but I do have this photo of Sam after he got his year-end trophy.
Sorry for the weird crop on that photo. I had to eliminate the kid standing behind him and opening Photoshop to do so seemed far too onerous.
I do also have this photo that I took a few weeks ago when Sam was goofing around on the sidelines. It pleases me for many reasons.
In other news, here is what I am facing down over the next few months:
Now I'm going to go stare at my television set for a few hours, because I'm pretty sure that doing that helps with the

Volunteer at the Library
Thanks for your interest!
Long-term library volunteers are identified as persons who regularly perform duties or tasks for the library for a period of six months or longer without wages or benefits. Volunteers who are requesting a limited or specific number of service hours shall serve under the same guidelines as all library volunteers.
The Friends of the Library volunteers are governed by their own policies and bylaws and, as such, are not regulated by Taylor Community Library policies and procedures. Any conflicts between the policies or practices of the Friends and the library will be resolved by the library director and the Friends Board.
Volunteers at Taylor Community Library will be expected to:
- Volunteer at least 8 hours per month on a regular schedule.

- The library is not currently accepting court-ordered community service volunteers . Please contact 23rd District Court or your local court to find out about community service options.

- Supply an orientation packet and name tag.
- Review volunteer policy & procedures.
- Provide instruction about sign-in and sign-out procedures.
- Conduct a tour of the library with introduction to library staff.
- Review duties and confirm volunteer commitment.

- Dress and grooming appropriate for a business environment and tasks assigned.
- Name tags worn at all times while volunteering in the library.
- Adherence to sign-in and sign-out procedures with advance notice to the volunteer coordinator or designee in the event of absence or lateness for a scheduled time.

Volunteering at the library is at your own risk and the library assumes no liability for any volunteer activities.
- Harassment or improper advances toward another person in the library or on library grounds is strictly prohibited. This includes unreasonably interfering with anyone's work or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. Any concerns or questions about the behavior of library customers, staff or other volunteers should be referred or addressed to staff supervisor or the volunteer coordinator. Under no circumstances should a volunteer initiate a confrontation with library customers, staff or other volunteers.
- Volunteers are not allowed to sit at public service desks or use staff computers unless specifically assigned to an area by the volunteer coordinator or a staff supervisor.
- Personal telephone calls are prohibited except in the case of an emergency and then must be kept brief and not made at a public desk. Long distance calls are not allowed.
- Library owned equipment, such as copiers/printers, fax machines, computers, supplies, etc. are for library use only and may not be used for personal business. No equipment or material should be removed from the library without prior submission of a written request by the volunteer and prior written approval from the library director, volunteer coordinator or staff supervisor.

Chris Avellone (Fallout 2, Fallout: New Vegas) answers questions about Video Game Writing vs. Writing on his blog at Obsidian Forum. Here's a fragment:
"Do you feel that video game writing, and video game story creation differ from other forms of creative writing? If so, how?
Yes, especially for RPGs, because reactivity usually requires you to tell the "story" out of sequence - and usually you have to tell several stories at once depending on how many branches you provide.In general, though, it's better to approach it from the game mechanics standpoint and let what the player can do in the game tell a story. Fallout's good about this - some of the best "stories" I got from Fallout 1 and 2, for example, were ones where Stealth and Combat options spoke for themselves in reactivity and quest solutions. And a lot of child pickpockets got blown up from ticking dynamite that somehow got planted on them - or through accidental repeated injections of super stimpaks."

Tim Tebow to speak at Elite 7 on 7 tournament
Teams travel to Springdale from across country to play in event
The Southwest Elite 7 on 7 tournament is preparing student athletes on and off the field.
Professional football player Tim Tebow was in town Friday to speak at the Northewest Arkansas Convention Center.
The tournament includes 32 high school football teams from 11 states, including eight local schools. Teams will face one another at Shiloh Christian School in Springdale.
"I think it's a special opportunity to go listen and get his message," said Springdale Har-Ber Head Coach Chris Wood. "And I think as a coach, we're educators and you always have to take in information, see how we can apply it on a daily basis. It's special."
On Friday, players got a break from the field to listen to Tebow, who plays for the New England Patriots. Coaches at the event hope young athletes are inspired by Tebow's leadership.
Tebow will take the stage at 7 p.m. Tickets for the event are sold out.
The football tournament runs through Saturday.

Meet Classixx, a DJ/Producer Duo from Los Angeles who we worked with for our Spring Break 2013 playlist (which you can listen to on Spotify). Classixx even came to our Spring Break pool party in Palm Springs to play us some of the tracks off their debut album, "Hanging Gardens". Classixx was an obvious choice for us to work with for Spring Break since we are all about The Remix – Remixing your wardrobe, your style, and of course, your Spring Break playlist!
All of our videos this season feature music from Classixx's "Hanging Gardens" and their just-released single, "Holding On", is one of our favorites. "Holding On" is currently available for sale on iTunes, so check it out to get ready for their full-length album which will be released May 14th. We can't wait to buy it after hearing it during the Spring Break photo shoot.
Download the American Eagle Outfitters exclusive "Penny" remix from the upcoming Hanni El Khatib album, "Head in the Dirt" which we are big fans of and have on repeat at the AEO offices along with his current album "Will The Gun Come Out". The remix of "Penny" gives the song a great new spin and that Classixx vibe.

• The Crimson ranks second in the NCAA in power-play efficiency at 27.8 percent (32 for 115), about one-fiftieth of one percent off the pace of Maine's top-rated power play. Harvard has scored a power‑play goal in 23 of its 28 games and netted multiple power-play goals in eight games.
• Alex Killorn (Montreal, Que.) leads Harvard with 36 points and 18 goals. He ranks 16th nationally with 1.24 points per game and10th with 0.62 goals per game. Danny Biega (Montreal, Que.) ranks second nationally among defensemen at 1.03 points per game (8-22-30).

Harvard earned a first-round playoff bye with its top-four league finish. Yale defeated 11th-seeded Princeton in a three-game series. The Bulldogs won the opening game, 4-2, lost the second, 5-4 in overtime, and won the third, 7-3.
Elsewhere in the ECAC Hockey Championship
This weekend's other quarterfinal series feature another Ivy League matchup (No. 9 seed Dartmouth at No. 2 seed Cornell), a pair of neighboring schools (No. 10 seed Rensselaer at No. 1 seed Union) and two teams that tied in the final league standings (No. 5 seed Quinnipiac at No. 4 seed Colgate).
What's at Stake
The quarterfinal series winners will advance to the ECAC Hockey Championship semifinals at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. The tournament field will be reseeded for the semifinal round.
Last Time Out
The Crimson clinched third place in ECAC Hockey and the accompanying first-round bye in the playoffs by sweeping St. Lawrence, 4-1, and Clarkson, 3-2. Raphael Girard (Saint-Hyacinthe, Que.) made 31 saves, including 15 during SLU power plays and 14 in the second period, to lead the Crimson past the Saints Feb. 24. David Valek (Zagreb, Croatia) scored twice in that game and then netted the tying and winning goals in the third period Feb. 25, as Harvard rallied from two goals down to top the Golden Knights.
The Drawing Board
The Feb. 17 tie at Brown was Harvard's 11th of the season, setting a new NCAA record. Before the Crimson this season, three teams recorded 10 ties in a season: Minnesota State in 2002‑03, Colorado College in 2008‑09 and Western Michigan last season. Those MSU and WMU teams both made the NCAA tournament.
The Feb. 10 tie against Rensselaer was Harvard's eighth in ECAC play, eclipsing the previous league record held by the 1991-92 Yale, 2003‑04 Dartmouth and 2010-11 Quinnipiac squads.
Time and a Half?
Twelve of Harvard's 29 games have reached overtime, including 11 of the last 22. The Crimson has played 57 minutes, eight seconds of overtime.
Point Men
The Crimson earned at least one standings point in 17 of its 22 ECAC Hockey games. With a 3-2-6 record in league road games, Harvard took points from nine of its 11 away contests.
Closing Time
The Crimson holds a 34-19 advantage against its opponents in third-period goals, including 16-6 over the last 12 games and 4-0 on the final weekend of the regular season. Harvard is 7-1‑4 when entering the third period leading or tied.
Harvard won or tied its season series against every team behind it in the ECAC standings. The Crimson won its series against Brown, Clarkson, Colgate and Quinnipiac and tied Dartmouth, Princeton, Rensselaer, St. Lawrence and Yale.
Crimson Calendar
Harvard is 24-3-2 in February home games under Ted Donato '91. The Crimson is 24-10-6 in post‑Beanpot ECAC games and 48-24-16 in all post-exam league games in Donato's seven‑plus seasons. (Harvard's first-semester exams took place in January until being moved to December in 2009.)
Comeback Crimson
Harvard has entered the final period trailing in 17 games but has rallied to win or tie in 10 of those. Harvard has trailed 34 times during play this season and has come back to tie 27 times. The Crimson trailed twice each in its win against No. 18 Colgate (Nov. 12) and its ties against No. 19 Quinnipiac (Nov. 5), Dartmouth (Nov. 25), No. 18 North Dakota (Dec. 30), No. 14 Union (Jan. 6) and No. 9 Cornell (Jan. 21). Harvard scored seven goals over the final two periods to rally from a four‑goal deficit and defeat New Hampshire, 7-6 (Nov. 22), and erased four separate one‑goal deficits in a 4-4 tie at Massachusetts (Dec. 2). Harvard is 3-7-7 when trailing after two.
Harvard has held 16 of its 17 opponents in the 2012 calendar year to three or fewer goals in regulation.
As the No. 3 Seed
Harvard's top-four ECAC finish and playoff bye were its first since 2007-08, when it also placed third. The Crimson went on to reach the 2008 ECAC final, where it fell to Princeton. In six tries as the ECAC's No. 3 seed, Harvard has reached five semifinals and won the 1963 and 2002 titles.

Series History
Harvard leads its most-contested series, 138‑78‑19 and is 30-4-3 against the Bulldogs at Bright Hockey Center. In 1913, six weeks after voting to make hockey a "major sport," the Harvard Athletic Committee voted to award a varsity letter to any Harvard player who had ever skated against Yale.
Playoff Series History
Harvard has won all six ECAC playoff games against Yale, most recently sweeping the Bulldogs, 5-2 and 2-1, in a 2007 first-round series. In that series, Yale outscored Harvard by a 3-1 margin in the two first periods. Over the final two periods of the two games, the Crimson outscored the Bulldogs, 6-0. Harvard also swept Yale in a 2001 quarterfinal series at Bright and defeated the Bulldogs in the 1986 and '98 consolation games.

Daniel Moriarty (Bienfait, Sask.) scored the tying and go-ahead goals 44 seconds apart, during a five‑minute power play, in the third period of Game 2.
The Crimson held off No. 3 seed Dartmouth, 3-2, in the opener of its quarterfinal series and reached overtime in Game 2 before the Big Green stayed alive with a shot off a skate. Alex Fallstrom (Stockholm, Sweden) scored twice in the deciding game, but Dartmouth hung on to win the game, 4-3, and the series, 2-1.

BALTIMORE – For the second consecutive year, the UMBC track and field team starts its outdoor campaign at the FSU Relays in Tallahassee, Fla. The two-day meet in the Sunshine State capital will begin on Friday, March 21 at Florida State's Mike Long Track.
UMBC is coming off of yet another successful indoor season after senior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) advanced to the NCAA Championships and earned a spot on the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-America Second Team in the 800m run. Smith is the sixth Retriever in program history to reach the national meet and gave UMBC a representative at each of the last three NCAA competitions.
Smith will open his spring season immediately in Florida by racing in the 1,500m run before returning home for the Big Dawg Invitational at UMBC Stadium next weekend.
Junior sprinter Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) begins her outdoor season in Florida after just missing out on her third consecutive NCAA Championship meet. Jackson successfully defended her two gold medals in the 60m and 200m dash events at the America East Indoor Championships, but her season-best 60m time of 7.41 was just outside of making the national meet. Last spring, Jackson swept the 100m and 200m dash events at the conference meet and advanced to the NCAA competition at Oregon where she placed 23rd in the 60m event to earn All-America status. This weekend at FSU, the junior will take to the track in both the 100m and 200m sprint events.
Sophomore Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany/Elite Sportschule Potsdam) also reached the NCAA stage last spring in Oregon, advancing in the javelin after breaking the school record four times during the outdoor season. He snapped the mark originally at this same meet in Tallahassee last year with a throw of 58.83m (193'0") and then set it at 70.88m (232'6") in his last throw of the NCAA East Preliminary to reach the national meet. A versatile athlete, Rentzsch will compete in the javelin, as well as the shot put and discus in the Florida state capital.
The Retriever men's team welcomes back several key athletes from last year's team, which finished second at the America East Championships. Sprinter Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) returns to competition for UMBC after taking the conference by storm last spring. Now a senior, Long won the 100m and 200m dash events at last year's America East meet and advanced to the NCAA East Prelims for the 100m event. He will hit the track for both events this weekend.
Classmate Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) also returns for the Retrievers, a year after setting the school record in the 110m hurdles (14.12) and then winning the conference title. He will run in the 110m and 400m hurdle events in Florida.
Senior field athletes Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland) and Shioma Obemeata (New Rochelle, N.Y./Iona Prep/St. Francis) also compete for the first time this season for the Retrievers. Adantor, who set the school record in the shot put last season (16.60m; 54'5.50"), will compete in the shot, discus, and hammer this weekend, while Obemeata, who last competed outdoors in 2012, heads south for the high jump and triple jump events.
For the women, America East indoor champion and indoor school record holder Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) starts her outdoor season in Florida in the high jump, long jump, and javelin. Beeman broke the school mark in the indoor high jump twice, clearing 1.74m (5'8.5") to win the gold medal at the conference meet.
Distance athlete Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) looks to continue her record-breaking senior season when she opens the spring season in Tallahassee. Mezebish led the UMBC cross country team to its best-ever finish at the America East Championships in the fall, and then took a silver medal in the 800m run at the conference indoor meet with a school record time (2:12.41). She then improved her time further to 2:11.81 at the ECAC Championships in Boston. Mezebish will run the 1,500m event in Florida.

Planets, comets, asteroids, and vast clouds of dust fill the space around the star Beta Pictoris in this artist's concept. The system is young, so it is completing the process that gives birth to planets. Beta Pictoris is about 65 light-years from Earth, and is visible to the unaided eye. [NASA/FUSE/Lynette Cook]
You are here
Beta Pictoris
To the eye alone, the stars look pretty much the same. They're not, though -- they come in a staggering range of sizes, masses, and ages. And because they're different ages, the environments around them are different, too.
Consider Beta Pictoris, a star in the constellation Pictor, the painter's easel. If you live in the far-southern United States -- south of about Austin or New Orleans -- it's visible just above the southern horizon this evening, a little to the right or upper right of brilliant Canopus.
The star is about 65 light-years away. It's bigger and heavier than the Sun, and its surface is thousands of degrees hotter. And it's less than one percent as old as the Sun, so it's still encircled by much of the debris left over from its formation.
The debris forms a wide disk around Beta Pictoris. But the disk isn't smooth. Instead, there are big gaps in it, and it's warped like the brim of a hat. That probably means that one or more giant planets inhabit the disk -- born from the disk itself.
In fact, one research team has taken a picture of a possible planet. The planet is probably at least 10 times as massive as Jupiter, the largest planet in our own solar system, and about twice as far from its star. And it's still so hot from its formation that it glows dull red.
The planet and the disk of debris make Beta Pictoris one of the most interesting stars in the sky -- even if it doesn't look the part.
More about extrasolar planets tomorrow.

As those of you on Ravelry know, I'm kind of an obsessive knitter. I mostly do scarves, hats, and sweaters, but lately I've been charmed by the idea of making really small items that only take a few hours to do. Just this past week I've been making washcloths (shapes like stars and fish and other cute things) and kitty toys (filled with catnip — I cannot even sew them shut before my cats try to steal them away).
I think one reason this kind of tiny project appeals to me is that my attention span is completely shot right now due to grief and winter-induced depression. Crafting makes me feel better, but I can really only do an hour or so at a time before my brain starts going in spirals or I need to do something else.
Do you have tiny projects for the times when you don't have a whole scarf/painting/letter in you? What small activity lifts you up for a few minutes at a time? What do you do with your itty bitty bouts of creativity?
Bonus: a great poem about a tiny painting.

A functional, fresh family-friendly room at its finest! I don't know if it's because it's Friday, but this room designed by Pamela S. Porter is definitely putting a smile on my face. I'm just loving the sunny window seat filled with colorful pillows! (Pretty sure our cats would appreciate it too!) So much stylish storage in this room…under the window seat, on the shelves, in the ottoman, under the coffee table! All of the pretty flowers aren't hurting my mood either! You can read all about the space and see more photos over at BHG!
I can't even believe it, but this weekend Chris and I will be celebrating our first anniversary! How in the heck can one year go by so fast?! One truly amazing year, my friends! I am blessed to be married to such a kindhearted, sweet person. And the fun we have?! Being married to your best friend is pretty much the best thing ever!
Happy Anniversary, Chris!! xoxo
