And this is why the hubs and I decided to make a fort in our very new and wonderfully green stripe free living room.
I need to change those light-bulbs, eh?
We tried to watch Monsters Inc. but I fell asleep. Shameful, I know. It's hard for me to finish any movie that is started after midnight.
We had some wonderful beverages. Hot hot hot Chocolate and some Welches Bubbly.
Check out those long beautiful legs. My man could have been a ballerina.
We celebrated our new clean white wall with some Sparkling Red Grape juice. I could drink an entire bottle of that by my self...in one sitting. I swear, its a good thing I don't ever drink alcohol, it could be a bad situation.
And now for another fort.
More good news: There has been a birth.
We have a new child.
Last night, after dinner with our aunt and uncle, John gave me my very first guitar. She is a classical guitar and is lovely. It was his quite some time ago and has been through a bit as you can see from her 4 strings.
Mr. Murphy and I played our first guitar duet together. "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room". Its too hott to share now. (Plus maybe I need some more practice...)
It's such an incredible sensation to feel so connected to an object. My instrument has always been inside of my body because of singing. Now I am learning how to develop this new talent out side of my body and it is a completely new challenge. I can't wait to hear all of the things that will come out of this beautiful instrument that is so foreign to me.

I'm so jealous of your fort. I never thought a fort could be so sexy :)
All of these pictures are just sooooooooooooo cute!
I love that lace you got from Mexico. It is so stunning. Also- what a fun idea. I may have to steal it for a future date night. :) I'm looking forward to a duet/singing/guitar post! ;)

you guys couldn't be any cuter, and the happiness and love you share just radiates through you two! LOVE the fort and new guitar-you go girl! relish these little moments and savor them:)
AH! I love forts :) I built them all the time when I was little. Congrats for the departure of the green stripes. If you can just get that little mousey outta there it'll be perfect!! And also, congrats on winning the Odds and Ends giveaway! How exciting :)
Oh I just responded to your comment on my blog...on my blog! But I'll say it here too! Slow Dancing is probably my fave jm song...if I HAD to pick...which I'm glad I don't because really, I love them all. Bold as Love is easily my mostest favorite song he plays, but it's not his....it's Jimi's.
what a cute fort! and i love the mexican lace... good touch :)
First off, your pictures are gorgeous. Love them. Second, I LOVE your bed/ canopy! Such a fun idea! Totally makes me want to go take a nap there. Love your blog!

AWWW, this is too cute! Another thing to put on my list of things to do when I'm married--make a fort!

Building forts is the best :-) Love yours!
