Success

A year ago today I was on my way to the hospital. What a crazy year it's been!

I'm so grateful for the doctors and nursing staff who took care of me. I am also so grateful for my family who helped 'babysit' me when Andrew had to work. I wouldn't have made it without them. I am also especially grateful for Andrew, and all he put up with and did for me when I couldn't do things for myself. I never would have made it without him. Thanks babe!

From this

To this

I'd call that a success. 

On that note Andrew ran the ragnar this weekend! He did FABULOUS! He ended up running for two people and ran something like 36 miles!!! He's a trooper! He even had enough energy to go to the RSL game afterwards! Man what a stud! Love you babe! I can't thank you enough for everything!

Guest Bedroom!

So a few months back I decided to take Nicole to one of the best places in town for a date, HOME DEPOT. Okay I know you are thinking, why would you go there. Well its because Lowes in St George. The next best place just happened to be home depo for what we needed, Paint. Seeing that we are now proud homeowners, we can do whatever we want with our house. So we found the perfect paint. It was in the mis-matched section, but it had not been mixed yet.













We decided to go with a brown color. It would help lesson the pink walls that came

with the house. Little did we know that Five gallons of paint will go a long way!! After painting one wall in the living room we were done painting for a while. We had get back to our school work.











I know you are thinking the title of the post is Guest Bedroom and I am this far in to the blog and yet to hear a word about it. Well here it is. With school being out and only a few summer classes that we have to worry about we chose to tackle the guest bedroom. I thought that we would just throw some paint on the walls and call it good. I was wrong! 


My lovely wife has much better taste then that. We ended up painting the walls, okay maybe I was more into painting and Nicole was more into the sleeping. (something like it was midnight, and Nicole had worked the night before with little sleep. I guess I can give her her a break).














We also had to hid some storage, so while I was at work Nicole went to the store and got some fabric and made some good looking covers I think. What a wonderful woman! She has good taste but at the same time I trust her more with money then I trust my self sometimes, so I know she will be a saver. I have even got her to at least wake into the DI with me!!

Any way back to the room though it is not finished, I think it is but I am told that we still need nightstands and lamps, we now have a bed with a cute bedspread on it. So now when we have people come visit we are not putting them on the floor. (sorry about that Jennifer and Thomas :/ )








It is nice best of all to get to spent the little amount of time that we have, working together to make our house more of a home!

P.S. Nicole I blogged!!!!

Summer Games!

Yesterday we went to the Summer Games Opening Ceremonies!  Well, actually we didn't go in. Instead we went and watched the fireworks. Julie HATED them. She was terrified and couldn't stop shaking. I felt bad it was almost like we were torturing her or something. She wouldn't move off my lap. Other than that we had a blast!!
