A/C Unit

Why is it when you imagine your dream house you never think about the A/C unit?

It's huge, obnoxious, and not super attractive. That's why.

I have a problem with our A/C incase you couldn't tell.

The problem is that not only did our dogs as puppies dig behind it, they also ate the wiring. Twice.

So, the hubby and I decided to make a solution. We wanted to a fun DYI project that would look good but still be easy.

I did what most sensible people would do. I turned to Pinterest. I found a cool fancy one HERE. So I DYI'd.

Here is the before:

This is what we did to stop digging and chewing:

So we gathered some supplies (by supplies I mean pallets) and did some cutting:

Put it together:

Look how great it looks:

Not that rustic pallet isn't cute, we loved it on the bench. But here we wanted to paint it white.

We love it. Doesn't it look SO much better back there? Plus, know we have sort of a cute country theme going in our backyard with all the little pallet stuff.

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.

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
