what do we do during our free-time??

Potawatomi '10

 

I got in!!!

I received my acceptance letter for the RN program yesterday!! I am excited, nervous, anxious, etc!! I get these feelings of "what I am thinking spending all of our money on me!" I am sure it will be worth it in the end but its hard to think that right now!!

old window

I decided to use an old window to display wedding pictures. I asked our mom's for their wedding pictures along with our grandparent's pictures. It was a little harder to find wedding pictures from our grandparents(not all of them had an actual wedding) so I used a picture from their 'younger' years.

 

Here is a close up,the decoupage is still drying so its not perfect.



I have two more old windows to be creative with and I am sure I will find something to do with them after visiting Funky Junk Interiors(button below)!!

backyard transformation....

So you may remember this picture, let's call it the before:

*Sometimes I don't really know what we saw in this house when we bought but it is coming along :)*



These are the after(still have more of the details to work on but it is coming along):

*I can't get over how different the grass even looks!!*



The rocks were free from my uncle(gotta love farmers :). I have an old metal chair that I am in the middle of painting that I plan to place somewhere.
*note to self plant potatoes in the back of the garden next year!!*





I have linked up to a blog party--never done this before hopefully I did it right....

How I met the parents

So I got thinking how I met Jeremy's parents this weekend after being with some newbies coming into the family.

The Story:

I think we had been 'dating' for maybe a month when this happened:

Jeremy: "Would you like to have supper with my family tonight?"
Me: "That should be fine. What time?"
Jeremy: "I will pick you up a little before 5:00(totally making the time up, can't remember the little details ;)."
Me: "Ok (thinking what have I just agreed to)"

Jeremy picks me up on time and we proceed to drive to his aunt and uncle's house. I think ok this is a few more people then I was thinking but whats two more people. We get there and it is his whole mom's side of the family (fortish people)....I don't know who was more surprised me or his parents!!

Detroit

Jer and I went to Detroit last week to attend a Drive and Ride for Ford Dealers. Basically I got to drive one of these:

 

around a crazy curvy course with hundreds of Orange cones.

*I am guessing that my reader base is mainly female so I will not go into detail and post a bunch of car pictures :)*
