My projects

Someone was giving this bench away on the side of the road, it was kid of falling apart but James helped me drill all the parts back together and I sanded and painted it. Its actually an old church pew.

When we moved to Utah we didn't have a table and James sister Heather (who is awesome!) gave us this one! I have wanted to paint it white since we got it but just never got around to it till now. It turned out so pretty, it really transformed our whole dining area.

We bought a house!

So we closed on our house this past monday April 26. It doesn't seem quite real yet because we aren't moving in for 2 months (We are on a lease at this house till the end of June). We are really

excited about our little country house which is 5 miles outside town on an acre of land. Its so cute, the back yard is fenced off with a garden plot already in place. It has a big work shop building (not pictured) and a 3 car carport as well as a gardening shed and another big shed. The inside specks are 1600 sq feet 3bd 2 bath and it has a large pantry for food storage! so excited about that! The seller of the house was my previous relief society president and her husband and it was so nice to work with such a sweet loving couple. I have to admit I didn't do much work but James sure did and it made me really grateful to have a husband that is good at making decisions and who works so hard. I want my sister Heather to know that this was partially inspired by her because I love the way she lives up in the country, I don't know if we will be getting crazy with a bunch of animals but a couple would be nice. Below is a picture of us out to dinner after closing with the seller (I was trying to tell the guy to hold the button down that is why my face looks so funny).
