Bekah's Wedding

Well, my sister's wedding went well. I didn't have my camera all day, so I only have one picture from the wedding that someone else took. I'll hopefully get a hold of a few more since this doesn't show much... I got to go up a week ahead of time which was quite hectic, but a lot of fun to be involved with the last minute details. Here are some pictures of that for now.



My mom and sister saved all these Peonies from a month ago - quite the process with dipping them in wax, wrapping them in paper towels and wet newpapers.



But they all turned out beautiful...



This was at her bachelorette party. Yummy fondue!



She hasn't got to do this in a few years.



He grew up in Egypt, so at their rehersal dinner this is what they wore.

mac photo booth

It's 1:30 AM at my parents house and we are still awake because of this fun program that apple has developed called Photo Booth. My brother just got a computer that has this program and its quite the trip. It basically distorts, twists, mirrors or does just about anything you can think of through the camera built into the laptop....enjoy!

Cam, if lil brother has 2 heads he may look something like this...

Before and After

Here are some pictures of the before and afters of the carpet. It is finally starting to feel like a home (aside from the clutter of course)...
Poor Seth is allergic to the capret so we haven't been able to put things in their proper place quite yet.

We made this curtain rod out of PVC pipes (Grace's idea). It is a really cheap way to make a long curtain rod. We probably spent about $20.00 on it. The brackets are the most expensive, otherwise the spray paint and PVC pipe add up to only a few dollars.

Justin put up our ceiling fan, it is so nice to have!

Living in Chaos

This is what we are living in. We were waiting for carpet in the living room and one bedroom so this is why our house looks like this right now. The carpet finally came in today, so soon it will feel like a home and less like a construction zone....

Goodbye Apartment

Well, we are no longer living in an apartment, we turned in the keys last week. It was kind of sad saying goodbye to our first place, but we're excited about our new home.

Refinishing the Floors

This was a job! After a lot of scrubbing, pulling staples, about 12 hours of sanding, a couple coats of stain, and three coats of poly, we are finally done with our floors! Here are some pictures of the process...

The Touch Lamp

Seth has been wanting a touch lamp for as long as I can remember and last week we finally found one at a thrift store. He spray painted it silver and it turned out pretty good.

Coming soon...

Sorry I haven't posted in so long, this house stuff is crazy! We don't have internet right now so that makes it a little harder to post. I plan on posting soon with more pictures of our house in progress. Right now we are living in a construction zone. We plan on getting the carpet in early this week, so it will feel a little cozier after that. Hopefully we'll get the internet this week or next and I can start catching up on here...

Thanks to April for my new blog template. It needed a new look. She designed it herself!
