I know...I know...I said I wouldn't go this long without blogging again and it's been almost a month!! But, I have excuses there have been so many life changes going on and our lives have been crazy busy!!
First there was my birthday and guess what Annie got for me?!!!
That's right....an Ipad...am I in Love?? YES!!! I can't put it down and it is soooo worth every penny if you are ever thinking about getting one!
Then came the 4th of July and we went to a family cookout at Krystina's followed by a day at the lake..Let me just say this...No one can cook as well as Krystina's mom Kimmy!!! I am still craving her BBQ and white sauce and it's been over a month since the holiday!!!
Matthew also participated in the Spirit of America golf tournament and Annie and I went out to watch him for several days! Besides the heat, I absolutely love watching him play golf!
The best thing that has happened is....Matthew asked me to marry him!!! I am so excited!! We are ENGAGED!!!!
It only took 4 years but it was well worth the wait!!!! We are planning a spring wedding hopefully in May of 2012! I cannot WAIT to spend the rest of my life with him!!!
It gets even better....except this part is a little scary for me!! We put an offer in on a house and we are hopefully moving!! The best part about this is we will be in the same town as most of Matthew's family and only 20 minutes from my family!!! My sister is also moving to Athens so I will get to see her and Kellan almost every week and that just makes my heart smile!!
With all that said I have been doing a little painting this weekend! I scored these two end tables at a thrift store this week for only $8.00 a piece!! It was such a deal I couldn't pass it up and I can't wait to use them in our new home!
Here is a photo shoot of the process..
Before:
First I sanded them really well and then I applied two coats of Primer.
I painted my tables with "Heavy Cream" from Olympic if you love cream this is the paint color you should choose it is perfect if you want to antique or if you just want a classic off white color for your projects!
Finished Tables (one of them)
I am so sorry it has been so long since posts and so much has happened to catch you all up on!! But, I just broke Matthew's computer charger and my computer!! Hopefully this doesn't mean that it will be forever until I post again!!!
