Project #1


I should have taken a before and after photo. The table was originally white and dusty. So we moved about a month ago and I have been busy organizing, cleaning, painting, you know all those lovely tasks that come with moving into a new place. We used to have a old Ikea table that we inherited, problem was we painted it all black 3 yrs ago and never put a sealant (sp?) on it. So allllll of the food stuck to the table. When we moved back to WA my sweet mother-in-law gave us this. It came with another chair but I have left it in Maddie's room for the time being. Hooray for a table I can be proud of!

Laguna Beach, CA

Yes, I was there even though I am not in these photos. September 10th-13th Wendy, Macey, and I were able to fly into L.A. and spend time with Carrie and her family in South Pasadena. We had lots of fun shopping, eating, and playing on the beach. Don't let these pictures fool you. I was unprepared and received the worst sunburn of my life on my shoulders, scalp, chest, and back of my neck. It was beautiful and I think I could totally get used to living on the beach. A life guard watch tower, I didn't really think those even existed.
Cute Macey playing on the beach. I haven't had many experiences with coastal beaches, but it was amazing that you drove into the town and the road ended almost where the beach began. It is an experience I can't wait to have again. Oh and I had the best pizza of my life here in Laguna, it is hard to describe but the crust was fry bread like. Amazing.
