We Took Down the Beast!

After 4 months of building, procrastinating, reassembling, getting so frustrated that I almost took a sledge hammer to the whole project, cutting moulding, re-cutting moulding, painting, and distressing... the center portion of our media cabinet is finally complete! Woo Hoooo!!! Celebration time!

This truly was a great project for Daryll and I to work on together. It tested our patience at times (well, my patience, I won't throw Daryll under the bus here). And it definitely took me getting over my obsessive need for perfection in my projects (well, I wouldn't say I'm over that exactly). Nonetheless, I feel such a great sense of accomplishment and pride that we tackled such a huge project... our FIRST EVER woodworking project... and FINISHED it!!! And it looks beautiful, if I do say so myself! I can't wait to start on the bookcases for the outside of it!

I Heart Faces - Flowers

This is my first time participating in the iheartfaces photography challenge! This week's theme is flowers and I thought that this picture of Daryll and Lulu was perfect for it!

Just Another Crazy Weekend Is All...


Well our non-stop lifestyle has continued to be, well, non-stop. Last weekend was the epitome of craziness. Here's the tv guide version (as my 6th grade teacher used to say):
Thursday: Drove out to Palm Springs for P-Club. Sat by the pool and relaxed. Ate dinner on the company. Slept. (At least that's what I did.)

Friday: Spent the day lounging by the pool, watching Daryll play poker, getting massages, and going to the awards recognition. Spent the night driving
a ridiculous route from Palm Springs to Fresno starting at 10pm.



Saturday: Slept 2 hours on my Mom's couch in Burbank. Drove the rest of the way to Fresno, while watching the sunrise. Daryll and Don competed in Brandon's Splash and Dash and finished 1st in the relays. Daryll had an obscene amount of energy for having so little sleep. I did not.



Sunday: Went to breakfast with Daryll's fam to celebrate Mother's Day. Started our trek back to San Diego. Stopped to bbq in Burbank with my fam for Mother's Day. Took some really cute pictures. Finished the drive back to SD where we picked up 2 very smelly puppies. Fell into bed and were whisked off to dreamland.

Like Totally Rad!

Daryll and I went to Max's 80's themed birthday party last weekend and had such a great time. Daryll is the master of 80's dress up, but I think that my outfit held its own as well...

I seriously love it when we get to do these goofy things together. What a wonderfully fun husband I have!
