Memorial Day Ventures

We had all sorts of adventures over Memorial Day weekend. We went up to a cabin in Fruitland with some of the other football wives Friday and Saturday. I shot a gun for the first time, Matt shot a pistol for the first time. We played games, ate lots of food, and went off-roading in a Ranger.

I can't remember what we did on Sunday ... we'll pretend it was something super cool and tons of fun.

Monday we went to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens and just enjoyed the scenery and being with each other. Matt went golfing with one of his coaches later that day.

We took about a bajillion pictures ... I don't think these are even half of them.

And there's lots more coming - we've done tons of stuff and taken a million pictures. Lets see how fast I can get all of it blogged.

Watch Our Garden Grow

I'd like to present just one of the many plants in our garden this summer. This pretty little flower was blooming and I just couldn't resist capturing it's everyday growth ... and a photo opp with our new camera.

There's a 2 day gap between these 2 photos

Craftastic

I was itching for a craft or something to create so we went to Joanne's and came back with this awhile back -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTY!

I'm a little late - her birthday was actually last Friday but in my defense I was at work all day and we left right after to go spend the evening with her.

But she's awesome and I'm lucky to have her example in my life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Before

As you can see ... our bedroom needs a serious makeover. And so we are doing it ... this is actually a little bit into the process - we already sold our headboard and downsized our king bed to a nicer queen (which is why the comforter looks waaayy too big) and changed the color of the sheets (that you can't really see).

So we're performing our own episode of ColorSplash and we'll be giving it character and color and pizazz and the happiness it desperately needs. We got back from Ikea not too long ago where we spent way too much money on new decor but the room should look pretty much amazing once we're all finished.

Here's a little taste of what's to come:

This is what we are basing the room off of. And it was all completely made by Matt ... I forgot to take the before picture of this one. He spray painted the canvases and cut up the vinyl and made this cool design.

It's our work in progress for the next couple weeks ... come back later to see the reveal of our new haven
