Mr. Broome and I have discovered that you can download John Piper's sermons on our Itouch. This is so cool. We listened to one last night in our quiet house as John Piper preached from the teeny Itouch screen. Technology is so cool and convenient. John Piper is pretty bold and loud which can be intimidating, but then he'll throw a joke into his talk to mix things up when you least expect it.
Guess what? Mr. Broome had his cholestrol checked and it wasn't the best, so he has been willing himself to eat vegetables. I am so proud of him. He has had a whole stalk of fresh broccoli two night this week(and it's only Wed.) For a man that would give his left pinky for a chunk of hoop cheese, he's doing good.

I feel like I have something else to say, but I just don't know what it is.
Oh yes. This was from last weekend. One of my best friends got married. Her wedding was beautiful as was she. This is the song that was played as she walked down the ailse.. and it was amazing.

I decided to paint the den.

Last night we had dinner with my sister in law and her fiance. They have been working on their house, painting rooms, decorating, etc. I have been wanting to do a lot to our house, but the weekends have been packed. This weekend is the ONE weekend in October that we don't have a wedding or something else to do so, I decided to take full advantage of the free time. 
I painted the den.  

All of the walls in our house are the same color. This is something I thought I would stick with when we first moved here, but the more I see other's homes the more I wish we had more color.
 This room feels more cozy now, and Mr. Broome really likes the change.
Dawn, my MIL, came over to see the progress and ended up convincing me we needed to get a few things to spruce up the room. Five pillows, one decorative plate, and a couple of bundles of potpourri leaves later we had the room done.
 I wouldn't mind some window treatments of some sort, but I'm not sure what. Maybe I'll worry about that come November:)

Hope you had a good weekend friends!
