Sort of.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry to start my first entry in many months on a bad note, but it had to be said. There has been some good happen this year. Namely I got a much deserved raise at work, Steve decided to go to law school and took the LSAT (we get the scores in a couple of weeks), and\u2026 umm&#8230; we have our <a title=\"More House Pictures\" href=\"http:\/\/beccablogs.com\/?p=2216\" target=\"_blank\">own place<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, finding those 3 was like pulling teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, tonight I decided to pull my Christmas ornament box out and finish the project that I started last year. Last year I had wrapped all the balls with yarn. I thought there was a color scheme, but it turns out to be blues and greens and other random colors of leftover yarn. Tonight I glued them all down and stuck the ornaments around. I also burned the hell out of my arms and hands in several places. And Lola learned what a hot glue gun was&#8230; with her nose.<\/p>\n<p>So without further ado, my adorable wreath!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fletcherfam.com\/bb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/yarn-wreath.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2402\" title=\"yarn-wreath\" src=\"http:\/\/fletcherfam.com\/bb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/yarn-wreath.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"http:\/\/beccablogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/yarn-wreath.png 500w, http:\/\/beccablogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/yarn-wreath-300x296.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As far as law school is concerned, we aren&#8217;t 100% certain where we will be other then not in Miami.
