New Projects

Matt and I have been working on a few projects so I thought I would update you! After 10 months we finally got a rug for our living room. I guess that didn't require much crafting on our part, but it did take us a while to decide on one!

While we were in Nebraska we found a few projects to work on.

This will end up being the headboard in our room at the lake.

We will also add this cute little rocking chair.

I also found this piece of wood...

and was able to finish one project while at home.

Another headboard!

We had it finished in time to put it up the night before we left!

Back in Arizona, we found a love seat to put in our living room. As we were driving back from picking up the love seat, we saw this. As you probably know, the back of the window says, "Need a pickup?"

Well no, we do not. We have a convertible...

Yes, it was an embarrassing few minutes as we were transporting the love seat. I think it looks much better in our house than in the car!

Those are our big projects so far. Don't laugh at our redneck! We will keep you updated on any new projects.

A Visit from the College Girls

After our trip to Nebraska, my sister, Jadyn, and her friend, Sheridan, came back to Arizona with us. It was Sheridan's first time flying, and she did wonderful! Sheridan chronicled their trip on Facebook and Instagram with little tidbits of each day. We first took them to Chick-fil-a, another first for Sheridan.

They filled their time sitting by the pool, going out to eat, and doing a little exploring while Matt and I were at work. We took them out to a few places. We started with TopGolf.

Matt thought it would be cool to take them to the one in Scottsdale so we could watch the lights on the resort behind us.

We also headed down to Tucson for Dancing with the Stars, Live!

It seriously might have been one the best things I've ever been to! It made me so happy!

Old Town Scottsdale was next on the list to take them out to dinner.

Saturday we planned to take them to Fossil Creek, but apparently there are only so many parking spots available. It had closed by seven am that morning so we modified our plan and checked out the Natural Bridge instead. They all grabbed their bags, and we went for a hike. 

It was very pretty! 

We hiked down under the natural bridge. 

It was so fun having her here!!

As we walked out of the bridge this guy noticed he was matching Jadyn. So naturally she felt like she needed to take a picture with him!

We then took a beautiful drive up to Sedona. We took them up to the Chapel of the Holy Cross.

We showed them a few sites before the storm came.

I think the girls made five trips to Walmart while they were here. Here is Matt doing his civil duty, bringing back all the carts that were not properly put away. 

We also enjoyed a nice little game night with some sparkling grape juice!

Sunday we took the girls to a Diamondbacks game.

We got seats in the All-you-can-eat section. It was awesome!

We had such a great time having the girls here. We love visitors! Then it was back to the real world. Next time I will fill you in on a few projects we have been working on!
