Redecorating

Friends invite each other over to their houses. My husband and I have lived in our house for over a year, now I'm not saying we haven't invited friends over in that time. We've had tons of people, even a few parties in that time. What I'm saying is that we've had people over and our living looks like we just moved it.

See?

Doesn't it look like we just moved in yesterday? Not July of 2011?

I told my wonderful hubby that enough is enough. We have a beautiful red wall in our dining room and we've put little accents of red throughout the rest of the downstairs. Red vases on our bookshelves, red tea towels in the kitchen, black and red painting in the hallway... you get the point.

Well, we hoped on the freeway drove down to our local IKEA and bought a few things. We put everything together, ok Brian put everything together, and look how great it is now?
Red Rug-GISLEV, Red Pillows-GRANAT, Bus Photo-VILSHULT

Please ignore the curled rug, like I said, we came home and put it all together then I just got so excited I had to take a picture for you. Everything there we bought at IKEA except for the super cute pillow in the corner. I made that.

Now next time you come over you wonder why we haven't unpacked the rest of the living room yet.

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Summer

I had a great summer. I know I was gone for a while but I have LOTS of fun stuff to share with you guys. I redesigned the blog (awesome right?), got grass in the backyard (you can see a little pic of it at the top of the blog plus some pics in here), we grilled, and I did a super fun side job. Here are some pictures of us having fun. How tasty does this look? Can you guess what I'm doing for my side job? It's hard to see I know. My hubby took the picture with one of our cell phones. BUT I'm actually doing team pictures for a school. How exciting is that? So Brian started back in Boy Scouts. Now he was an eagle scout and it turns out he was the very first eagle scout from his troop. How many girls out there dreamed of a man in uniform? Well let this be a lesson to you. BE SPECIFIC when you dream and or pray for these things; otherwise, you will get a blurry picture of a dork. But after this update I had better take a break. It looks like someone i...

Exciting News

So during my last post I mentioned that I have some exciting news to share. I currently work as an intern at an unnamed electric company. Now, this is a great job! I love it, I love my boss; however, it's not a place I see myself staying and being there in 5 years. I started poking around looking at more permanent jobs around 2 months ago. About a month ago I starting talking to a company that my mother-in-law works for. Well my last day at the unnamed electric company is on Friday! This is very exciting. But there is lots of cloak and dagger going on here. It is time for the big reveal. I just got the job as staff support at Crisis Pregnancy Center . It's a wonderful place. For those of you that don't know about it, please go to website and read about it. It's a Christian based organization that is pro-life and does phenomenal things for women, men too! This is a wonderful direction that God is taking my family. Please keep our family ...
