Summer Update

Summer is always SO busy. Why is that? I remember when I used to be in school and summer break was the best. No school, vacations, seeing friends.

Now it's vacations, weddings, trying to see friends and schedule playdates, checkups for Jaxon, and still work? What is that about?

Here is a little catch up from our summer plus some fun new news.

We went to a wedding of an old high school friend of ours. It was such a cute wedding in an old barn that was beautifully decorated. Plus how can you not love any wedding where you get to keep adorable chalkboard mason jars?



The routine checkups for Jaxon. That boy of mine is getting SO big. When did this happen?


We took some wagon rides around the neighborhood. Mostly so we can go play at the splash-pad.


4th of July was a great weekend for all the Tussing's. Brian's dad and mom rented a condo in Mission Beach for the family to go stay at. It makes me love Brian that much more when I see how great him and Jaxon are together.


Lastly, for the big news of the summer so far!


That's right. That's a box of my work belongings. 4 years working at a company, sitting at one desk, with a chair with an armrest missing a chunk on the left side. All of that time is put into one file box. Most of you know that I work two jobs for the same company. One was at a desk for 3 days a week and the other is mostly at home. You also probably know Brian has been at his job for just over 5 years and working at home for about 4.

Well today at 8:40am Brian left the house and started his new job! It's very exciting for us. I will now stay home with adorable Jaxon while keeping my "remote" job. So if any of you have been trying to see us but our schedule is just to hectic? Not anymore! We are very excited to start this new chapter of our lives!!

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

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.

Weekend Projects

UPDATE: 6-11-2013 I've since changed what the final project would be and made a planter bench out of pallets! Please check out the final project HERE . Does anyone have a running list of projects? Is that something only I do? As long as at least one of you does I feel better. In my phone I have this list, it has all the projects I'd like to do along with household chores that I consider projects. Cleaning the baseboards - that is totally a project, there is scrubbing and being on the floor for long periods of time. Definitely on the list. Making a new soap for the dish washer - project, tons of fun but not something that's usually done. Lately, only with house repairs, I've added making a front porch swing to my list! See, now the list sounds much more interesting. I keep seeing all these pictures of pallets used in different ways. pallets for benches { found at the johnston's } pallets for roofs { found at colemans in love } pallets for table
