soon to come,,,

pictures of my tables and chairs.

my cabinets are the next project, i will be doing those this week, sanding, staining & putting my rub-ons on em!

um, we put up curtains in our front room. and on the back door.

we put in a cool divider door between the kitchen & the addon room.

i've been planning my sisters baby shower. and i love it. i hope it all turns out the way i've pictured in my mind.

my inspiration came from amyatlas.com so when you come, you can tell me how i did!

Fun fun fun.

life is good. i'm ready to get back to a set schedule at the school in august! Couple of the kids i've been working with have been out of town! So i've had a lot of days off! (i'm not complaining)

:) love you all. after the shower i'll post lots of pics!!! so you can see my kitchen!

What a summer! haha. I'm supposed to be working with three different kids! One kid tues/wed. another one thurs/friday mornings. another one thurs/fri afternoons! WELLL....its always been one kid or another out of town. camping. on a trip...you know. its SUMMER! So i haven't actually had a full week of work yet! craziness! It has been nice though to relax just a bit & take mike lunch. finish my table and chairs...i know i know i need to upload them! (dont forget i dont have the internet!) i'm working on printing some business cards for Blueyedesign! its kinda tricky when you do it yourself!!! I heard back and i HAVE MY JOB at houston!!! pretty stoked about that! what a relief!! ummm... lets see. Thats all folks!

Amy asked for an update! so there it is...i'm boring! haha.

hello.

just wanted to post the latest picture of my cute gracie lou!

anyways. OH & here is a sneak peek of my table & chairs :just a sneak peek, i have two more seats to reupholster & i'm done! woot woot! don't mind the messy garage. did i mention just the SANDING took 8 hours? yeahhh.

as the school year ends...

I am so sad. its been such an amazing year. i love my job SO much. i have never dreaded going to work. The ladies i work with are incredible!!! the kids i work with...so sweet & tender hearted, with so much personality!!!
not knowing if i get my job back next year is really gonna make thursday difficult saying goodbye, ugh.
OH & for their end of the year gift from the ladies in our classroom: go look at BLUEYEDESIGN
Thankfully i get to work with 2 of them this summer & another boy my sister works with.

THANK you for all the birthday wishes!! :) love you all.

pics.

we took this picture before we left yesterday morning for the zoo.

other pics. taken today by Traci washburn! :)

one year down. eternity to go.

Our anniversary was yesterday!

when we woke up mike turned to me and said "this has been the best year of my life" aww.

ok so we went & made a mortgage payment in morning. we went and ate at Senor Tacos. eh it was alright. then...
we headed to the ZOO! :) it was fun. mike hadn't been in 7 years. (i went with our class just 2 mo. ago) we had fun! one of the monkeys came in a bush right up close to us- that was cool.

so we had a blast! then we watched the 1st three X-Men movies. because friday night we had gone to the x-men wolverine movie...so we had to refresh our memories. & in between 2 movies we went to dinner with our friends patrick & kelli to texas roadhouse!

we had an eventful day! :)

i'm glad i'm such a lucky girl to have mike!!!

i brought the wrong camera cord to tracis house today so i can't post them!!! :)

sorry for my lack in blogging. i really would post WAY too often{is that possible} if i DID have the internet! but as you all know we steal WiFi & well they finally locked it. too bad.
