Just got in with new ideas and inspiration!

The Thompson's just got in from a wonderful vacation at the beautiful Logan Martin Lake. It was close to home, but far enough away to leave everything behind. The boys were crazy about the lake, nature, and the wildlife. The home was beautiful!!! And best of all, free! We played a little house swap with a friend's mom, which is totally the way to go. No guilt, just building memories with family!
The only thing I would change about the trip was to make the lake home MINE!!! :) I am really not good at taking vacations. I sit down to plan a trip and instead of going to expedia, I go to realtysouth's website. I don't know. I know that building memories with family is an investment in and of itself, but I would just rather not throw money away on hotels, gas, or airfare. So, perhaps the Thompsons aren't big on proper vacations, but we do hope to use all that saving on a proper recreational investment one day.
Here's our latest ideas and inspirations in the way of vacation homes as of late:
Blake and I are not beach people. Our dream vacation home is on a lake, farm, or mountain. And how about the Clayton i-House for a home option. Eco- (and wallet) friendly, it's not too hard on the eyes either.

And, did you know that there is a revolution going on? People living in smaller homes. Tinyhouseblog.com

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?""Eight," the boy replied.The man continued, "do you know what these are used for?"The boy replied, "not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either."

I really am soooo blind. Not really, I just can't see very well after about 5 feet away. And I have a stigmatism, so whatever. The world is blury, which I don't love, but have gotten used to over time. Every now and again, I will realize just how well I can't see, though, and as I get older, it's definately getting worse. So, why don't I wear my glasses?? That is a good question. First of all, depth perception becomes very weird when I have them on, they give me a headache, and finally, I just feel like I look weird in them. I'm thinking I need some glasses inspiration:

And then theres me in glasses looking not so hot. Of course these aren't good pics, but all I could find of the rare opportunity. oh well.
