Summer Fun

So! I believe I am still the worst blogger ever... I seriously need to take time to update this.

I apologize to all of you!

Reasons for My Sabbatical

So I believe I am officially the WORST blogger ever!

I apologize for falling off the face of the Earth for the last 6 months.

But I can explain...

It has been a busy last couple of months. I have been busy at work coordinating 30 weddings (and that is just January through June).

Kevin has been busy at work and with his band. They played at Angel's Stadium last week! It was very exciting and they were shown up on the jumbo tron. The Angel's proceeded to win, so it was a good night J.

Kevin's band is also preparring for their trip to the Mid-West. They will be making several stops on their tour including HERE, and HERE.

I have also been busy making small home improvements.

Here are pictures to prove what we've been up to!

 I covered the valence in our master bedroom

(remember before?)

Oh! And Kevin got some new ink...

And so did I!!

it is hard to tell in the photo but it is a blue that transitions into green at the top (I'll post a better photo later)

I finally found a bench to fit in this little knook!

And a frame for my pictures in the kitchen

And I cannot foget about Chunk! He has gotten so big!

(and is completely potty trained now. Hallelujah! ...knock on wood) 

Our Guest Room...

Is Finally Done! :)
