Project of the Month

Don's mom gave me this piano bench because it was in pretty rough shape and they didn't need it for anything, I got really excited to fix it up, and I think it turned out great! I forgot to take an actual before picture before I started doing work on it. The first thing I did was sand it down, then I painted it white, then I painted it black, I sanded it again to give it an antique look, put some lacquer on it to give it a nice shine, then finished it off by putting new padding and fabric on the seat. What do you think?

Family Outing to the Zoo

Don got free zoo passes from his work this month so we decided to go! We thought Jackson would love it, but truthfully he slept almost the whole time :) But Don and I enjoyed being together and spending time outside. I can't leave my house during the week so any chance I get to leave this place with the baby I take, and I Really enjoy it! And we were able to get some fun family pictures. Also, for those of you who don't know. Don and I are moving! We will be leaving Idaho Falls around the 4th of July and we will be headed to Seattle for school! We will probably be there a good 4 or so years. We just had everything go through for our new home and we are getting super antsy to get out there! We will miss our families dearly though, but it will be a good experience!
