What a week!

The week is only half way over, but I feel like it's been a MONTH since Sunday! Neight and I have both been so busy with work and trying to get the house ready for us to move in that we haven't had much time for ourselves. I have been SO stressed out with all this house drama, but I have to keep telling myself that it's worth it. Neight seems to be enjoying himself, so I guess that's good.

So here's a quick breakdown of our week:
Sunday- Neight and I stopped by his parents house for dinner. I made some awesome cookies..... Well, the store made some awesome cookies, but I baked them. After having dinner with Neight's family we went to my parents to visit. While we were over there my mom asked if I would help her with some of her school stuff for the first week. Of course I said yes because I love anything that has to do with school work. I ended up coloring ( I wish that I had drawn it) a pirate for her school theme. Here is the end result:


I used pastels for the awesome colors. I've always loved working with pastels so I was even more excited to color. When I finished I realized that coloring is very therapeutic and I need to get myself a coloring book to help control my stress.

Monday- I had the WHOLE day off  and Neight had the morning off. So, we went over to the house to start painting. Neight was working with my dad on some of the other things the house needed so I got to paint myself. I only got primer on 3 or the 5 areas that needed paint in the 12 hours that I was there. The walls weren't too bad, but the ceilings were hard for me to reach, even with an extension to the roller. When painting the ceilings the paint splattered in my face. It got in my eyes, in my mouth, and all over my hair.


This picture is kind of dark, but you can see the paint on my shirt. Don't mind the garbage in the background, it will get cleaned up tomorrow.

Tuesday and today Neight and I both worked and haven't had time to go back and finish painting. Tomorrow we both have the day off and we have about a million things to do before we can move in on Friday. talk about stress! Everyone keeps telling me that things will be ok and that it will be worth it. I'm going to try and trust them and just take it an hour at a time at this point.

Happy 4th of July

I love summer! Warm weather, fireworks, and LOTS of barbeque's with my family!

Last night Neight and I went over to my parents to celebrate the 4th of July. We did it a day early because Emily was home visiting for the weekend. Neight and my dad cooked an AMAZING meal! They made kabobs with chicken, shrimp, and steak! Talk about DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! After eating we were SO full that we all ended up taking a nap. Once the sun set we pulled out our fireworks and more fun started! Luckily we weren't the only ones on the block doing fireworks and we got to watch all the other ones as well. I didn't even think to bring my  camera, but Emily did, so here are a few shots of the fun.














HAPPY FOURTH!
