it always seems to be like this.....

So he gets the nice blue skies no construction and I get the construction and TERRIBLE thunderstorm!! Seriously it was a downpour and I said "I think I am going to get off." and he said "Thats good because you are on the exit."

July

July has been a very busy month for us!! I have been getting things around to be able to start the RN program this fall. We went Lake James over the 4th of July and are getting ready to visit my Aunt and Uncle.

This little guy was born on his favorite Uncle's birthday!

We got together with Jer's family this weekend and brought our wii game "Just Dance"



This is 4-H fair for our county and my oldest nephew and niece have done well with their projects.

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....
