Fall Adventures!

We got dolled up, and ready to go...


To the park. Those little girls kill me! Too cute.


Then we did a scarecrow walk/bike ride. Surrounded by beautiful fall mountain backdrops.


The Sigma Chi's were well represented by scarecrows.


So pretty! And a super fun walk. I want to come back with my bike.


Hank and the TinMan scarecrow.


The we went to gymnastics. And were cute as ever.


Then for the real palooza, cruised down to Cornbelly's and got our face and arm painted. So fun!


And then jumped on the giant pillow. What a weekend! Happy Fall!

Silver Lake

I have been trying to get up to Silver Lake all summer. And we have been wanting to hang out with my brother and his cute Katie since they started dating.


Well a year and a half later we finally made it happen!


Best of both worlds!


Does it get prettier? I don't think so!





Then we headed home, and found the perfect dishwasher for sale on ksl for $10! Ugh... Seriously!?


Life is great!


Now just to put the house back together!

Fall!

I love fall! I think every year I fall more and more in love with fall. Especially this year because I get to drive up the canyon every day. Stunning changes of leaves on the mountains everyday!


This drive through the canyons was a very exciting one for me!


We were on our way to pick up FREE French patio doors that I found on ksl!


These are exactly what they look like! I couldn't be happier. I have wanted French doors forever but didn't want to pay the money for them. And then they popped up on ksl! Law of Attraction strikes again. I love fall!

Fist Like Tiny Semi Trucks

Push Play



That's my boy!

Lucky I'm in Love With My Best Friend

I love this guy! I love how I am living the life of my dreams, even though I never dreamed life would be like this. I never knew how happy I could be in a basement apartment, with over 300 lbs of dog.


How happy I would be to spend my birthday night sledge hammering at our bathroom floor. I LOVED it! I chose to go to the driving range for my birthday, I am the most surprised about all of this. All of these interests I have now, I wouldn't have discovered without Drew.


And look how cute he looks with a kitty on his leg! Adorable!


I saw this and thought if Drew. I'm always telling him, I wish there were something more special and meaningful that I could say to him, because love just doesn't quite cut it!


Even though he didn't bring me home one of these for my birthday, I am still completely wrapped up in him.


Maybe it's because he promised me one of these....


Maybe with a darling arm on it for hanging flowers or holiday decorations.


Or because he is going to build me drying racks like these, after he is finished hanging Sheetrock, cementing, tiling, painting, woodworking, installing lights and throwing up a coffered ceiling. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I know I LURVE him!

Plumbers...

If you haven't noticed neighbor Dave is going to be a blog regular. We are working out the contract agreement as we speak. There may or may not be a signing bonus. We'll see what our lawyers say.


Friday and Saturday were demolition derby days in our home. I can safely say my lungs will always have a good sturdy coat of cement dust in them. If I die mysteriously, tell the doctors to check my lungs. (Little dramatic!)


Our bathroom looked like a spelunking adventure. Truly it smelled just like Timpanogas Cave and Nutty Putty Cave all mixed into one. Lovely, (not dramatic at all!)


The hammered and dug, and dug and hammered. And only managed to make one neighbor upset! (I don't see what the big deal is about sawing into concrete at 7 AM on a Saturday! Haha.)


I got a few good wacks into the concrete. I can now claim to have remodeled our bathroom. I'll probably try to take most of the credit!


Drew thought since he was trying out plumbing, he should really get into the zone! Really try and embrace all that a plumber is.


However this is a family friendly site so we censor for everyones benefit! (Drew, don't you wish you new how to use our blog now? Muah ah ah!)


And here we are now! Concrete poured over the new plumbing, just waiting to set up and get the toilet and tub all ready to go! Then goes the tile!

Kitchen is Almost a Kitchen

Our little galley kitchen is slowly but surely becoming a functional room. Because we are just living in the basement and renting out the upstairs, our kitchen also has to function as our laundry room.


Before, we bought a mini stove, a 10 cu/ft fridge, downsized from a 17cu/ft. We were given a smaller/newer washer and dryer. (goodbye tear to my yellow painted white dryer). And voilà!


Space! The before and after were taken from the exact same place!


Look how much pretty linoleum can be seen now! Hopefully will be replaced soon! We can actually fit a table in our kitchen! Hooray!
