Its far from perfect, but its done.

And I am happy to be able to move on to the next project

Pretty Little Bathroom

I am lacking all motivation to work today.

So in between invoicing, I am just cruising the Internet, & counting down the minutes to lunch.

I came across this bathroom makeover on HGTV and i love it!

I can't get the video to embed, but you can watch it here (its just a 3 min. clip)
and there are no good pictures, so I just took some screen shots while watching the video...

The walls & ceiling are my favorite ... and the light fixture.

I Just Have To Ask, Do You Like Pelicans?

We took a fast & furious trip to Zion's National Park.

We enjoyed the beauty of the park.

Met up with one of my best high school friends and her husband.

It was a great time!

To break up the drive we stopped at Lake Powell & took the dam tour.

It was interesting.

I mostly enjoyed walking around and taking a break from driving.

The tour guide was of course one of Jordan's distant cousins.

We find Flake's everywhere we go.

Then a few more hours & we were at Zion's.

This was the first trip for both of us & we loved it.

We did a hike called Angel's Landing.

Basically we climbed to the tip top of this mountain.

Last mile of the trail you walk along this ridge ...

This is Max.

We met him while resting.

He came up to me and started telling me he was a bird, a macaw to be exact.

A few minutes later, he squeezed in between Corinne and I hugged us both and asked,

"I just have to ask, Do you like Pelicans?"

Then when Jordan pulled out the camera he screamed,

"Say Crabs", and stretched his arms out like claws.

Thanks for the fun Corinne & Alex!

Lets do it again.

Labor Day!

Well it's been almost a month and still no chair.

But I have my excuses ...

broken sewing machine

laziness

etc.

... and an awesome labor day trip!

Which was especially great for me since I was asked to work every Saturday til the middle of October.

Which probably means I'll have chair pieces in my living room for a few more weeks.

Gotta love being an accountant.

But on to the Labor Day trip ...

We went up to Jordan's Parents Cabin in Northern Arizona.

It was so nice to get out of the valley ...

We really enjoyed the beautiful views & the fresh cool air

We also enjoyed some Seinfield

we had to get creative/redneck with the TV set up so we could watch it from the comfort of our bed.

ate lots of junk food.

and did some reminiscing ...

And it just so happens that we got engaged a little over 2 years ago while we were staying at the Cabin.

So we of course had to take a little ride up to our engagement spot.
