Summer guests

It is so hard to believe that it is already August and that summer is drawing to an end.

We have had a busy, yet so very good season.

Enjoyed a visit from mom and my "other" mother :)  

When EJ visited we enjoyed doing lots of diy projects together.

My family came down for the 4th of July and helped us celebrate!

Love this man!

I was so excited to be able to host a birthday party for my mom - she is an amazing woman who threw countless number of birthday parties for me throughout the years.

Before Brooke headed back to Ohio she visited us.  

We had fun baking and cooking and introducing her to froyo!

And then just this last weekend, my best friend Liz whom lives 2100 miles away in Cali was able to spend a day with us.  It truly was a treat as the last time I saw her was on our wedding day...

God has been so very good to have blessed me with such wonderful family and friends!

Project 101-102

I count myself so very blessed to have married someone who is not only handy but is willing to help me with projects.

Jack did the project below entirely on his own and in one afternoon too!

Since our apartment is in front of storage units we have been trying to give it a more homey atmosphere.  Jack put up a porch railing and I just love the way it turned out!

For Father's Day we decided we wanted to make our dads their very own personalized corn holes as both of them love the game.   We spent alot of time sanding, painting, taping, and sealing to get these imperfect yet personalized gifts.

We had alot of fun and can't wait to make ourselves a set!
