New Door. New Attitude!

Today I have to tell you about the newest addition to the Scott family home: Our BRAND NEW DOOR! Not as excited as me? I understand, you're jealous. It's cool.

Anywho...I finally convinced the hubs that we desperately needed a new front door. If you knew Nick and I during our complete home redo (speaking of I need to post some more before and afters...maybe another post) you would know that I was the voice of reason during the whole process: "No we shouldn't do that. It will be fine if we just do this. No we should re-use those. We really don't have money for that." so on and so forth. However for some reason Nick did not think the front door was that bad. I honestly think it was because he was just thinking about how many Nikes he could have gotten off EBay. My Dad also didn't think we needed a new door -

Dad: Does your door close?
Me: well yes....
Dad: Does it lock?
Me: ummm yes
Dad: well then you don't need a new door!

In my opinion your front door is like the smile of your home. If you have a beautiful face but crooked yellow teeth you will not be getting a modeling career. So I won and finally got my new doors! We also got a new storm door because let's face it, you can't very well put a crappy old storm door over a beautiful new door! Drum roll please...

I must also say another Thank You to our great friends Callan and Amy whose wedding present to us was a donation to the Scott family door fund. Your plaques are being engraved as we speak ;)

Hope this helps...

I seem to be really horrible at keeping up with my blog. And I really want to use it like most people who blog as a way to preserve a lot of our memories. So after going on my "Jessica Jog" I came up with a brilliant idea. I call it a "Jessica Jog" because it was day 3 of couch to a 5k. So it's not really hard yet, but I'm trying and that's what matters right?

Well I tell you all of this to say I did this same program last year about this time the old school way (keeping time manually) and recently discovered a wonderful iPhone app that does all that hard time keeping for you. So the whole process is much more enjoyable. Well as enjoyable as running (Jessica Jogging) can be for this couch potato. So then I thought "there's gotta be an app for blogging." And according to my husband I'm addicted to my phone (not true). So if I could easily blog from my phone without opening it in safari I will be more likely to blog more frequently. Right? So here it goes. Oh and don't tell the hubs that I paid money for this app :)

I could watch this everyday!

Well again, I apologize for my lack of blogging. I promise I will try my best to get better. But for now I will leave you with a link to what is in my opinion the BEST wedding video of all time. Well the best wedding video highlights to be more specific. Vanessa McKellar, videographer extraordinaire, did a magnificent job perfectly capturing every moment and emotion. If you want to see the full length feature film come on by the Scott home and I would be happy to show it to you. Like I said, I could watch this movie every day for the rest of my life.
