My Birthday Weekend

Don't you love it when your birthday falls on the weekand?  That's exactly what happened this year and I am enjoying every moment!! Today is my birthday and I am old, well let's say older.  Booooo hoooo :(   I must say I feel the same as I did yesterday, although I did discover my first gray hair a couple weeks ago.  It's been a good weekend.   My birthday started on Friday when Shane and I went to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants here in Grants Pass, called "The Train Depot", and I had a nice, big fat slice of cheese cake.  Then my weekend got better as I did a few of my favorite things,

-Enjoyed the Sunshine
-Strolled through the home section at Fred Meyer
-Picked up a couple items for the yard at Home Depot
-Worked in the yard with my hubby
-Ate Papa John's pizza, "Spinish Alfraso"

-Sipped on my favorite drink, "Mug Rootbeer"

-Slepted in

-Watch my favorite DIY show, "Rehab Addict"

-Visted my favorite historic town, "Jacksonville"

-and now relaxing, doing nothing and about to watch my favorite Sunday night TV show, "The Walking Dead"

That about sums it all up and I can say I have had the best 38th birthday ever! 

Love & Marriage

On March 3rd Shane and I celebrated 6 years of marriage.  I can't believe it's been 6 years already.  Time flies when you having fun and fun is exactly what the last 6 years have been.  I am so lucky to have met Shane and even luckier that he wanted to marry me.  We have had be best years together and I look forward to many more.  Thank you Shane for the memories.  I love you. 

Weekend Project

 I decided that I needed a break from work and took the afternoon off on Friday, I left work around 1pm and head off to Home Depot in search of a project for the weekend.  I walked the aisle's, check out my favorites and spent well over an hour in the store thinking of a project, but I wasn't wanting to spend any money, then it dawned on me...the weekend before we remove the small section of fence by our patio and the planks from the fence were still in really good condition so I thought, what if I used the planks and covered our ugly coffee table.  Ta Da!!  And the project was born.  Right away when I arrived home I took the coffee table out to our back patio and started laying the planks on top, this is going to be awesome and my moment of recycle, re-purpose, reuse.  I also reused the same screws from the fence.  I spent most of the day Saturday, sanding, cutting, painting and staining.  This afternoon Shane and I brought it in from the the garage and it looks so good.  The Black base matches our entertainment center and the cherry stain on top matches the frame on the wall and our little side table.  I also got a kiss from my hubby, I'm assuming that means great job honey!!  I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.  I already have project number two in the works, I'll be posting about that soon. 

We also hung our favorite George Washington picture on the wall, now our living room is pretty much complete.  Funny thing is Shane paid $5.00 for that coffee table before we were married.  I have hated that thing ever since I met him, but how could I tell him, now it's like a whole new table.

Another Beautiful Day

a beautiful day

 It was a beautiful day today and it gave me a little spring fever, so Shane and I took advantage and started cleaning up the back yard.  It's amazing what a little bit of yard work can do.  We are so excited for spring to arrive so we can dive in and get to work.
