Chad and I found this headboard next to the dumpster at our complex (people throw away so much here! There is a couch every week) We checked it out and decided it was still good with a little TLC. So I sanded it down and restained it on our little porch. Then we decided to do our dresser to match it. My arm almost fell off from sanding but it was a fun project and now our furniture matches!
A word to the wise...do not be cheap like me and not buy the anti-virus program when it expires because you will end up paying Best Buy $150 to fix it! I had some major viruses that froze my computer. They couldn't fix it so we ended up having to reboot my computer, meaning they delete EVERYTHING from the computer and take it back to factory settings! For those of you that know me I use the computer ALL the time. I might have had a little breakdown over all the music and programs lost but luckily I am obsessive about backing up pictures and did not lose one!!
My parents sent Chad and I a great gift in the mail a few weeks ago...an Entertainment Book, you know the one with a mass load of coupons in it? We decided since there was a break in the 100 degree weather (it was still high 90s) a couple weeks ago we would go exploring. I saw a coupon for a Wildlife Zoo and Aquarium. We were able to feed the giraffes and realized last year at almost the same exact time we went to the Colorado Springs Zoo for a meeting for Chad's work and we also fed the giraffes there! I guess we like em.
We tried doing the same faces...
May was a great month, not only were Chad and I able to celebrate our one year anniversary but we were able to enjoy a few other weddings!
And last was Chad's cousin Joel and his wife Chelsey. They had a great sealing and also had a ring ceremony for her family. They couldn't have asked for better weather and the ceremony was gorgeous. Thanks for the Goodwood! Mmmm. Congrats guys!
Chad and I have now been married for a year! Time flies by, and mand has it been a busy year for us. We've lived in three states, graduated from school, got our first real job and much much more. For our anniversary we stayed at a little Bed and Breakfast in Greer, AZ. We went mountain biking, fly fishing and fed raccoons our graham crackers while enjoying some hot chocolate on our porch. It was a wonderful weekend in cooler temperatures!
We also stayed with one of Chad's co-worker's family. Their mini horse mated with a donkey and produced this:
I caught a fish my first time fly fishing!
Two out of my mom's seven kids are now on missions to Japan. Haley entered the MTC in May and Sam has been in Japan for a year now! We miss them both but are super excited for them.
