BORING!

Just though I'd let everyone know that we are B-O-R-I-N-G! We haven't really done a whole lot of anything lately except for work. Althought on a side note the floor is practically done and we couldn't be happier with that fact! Scot just has to finish the base boards and we will be golden. Pictures to come!

My Chaotic House...

Here is what I get to come home to everyday for the next little while...

Could that foam crapola be any grosser? Seriously!!

...My oven and my fridge in the living room, no carpet and a sexy husband.

I am really going to be sad when we get to the living room and the T.V. isn't hooked up to the cable! Oh the humanity!

But it will all be worth it in the end. Thanks Scot! You are doing a great job!! Love you!!

So, here's to hand washing dishes!

The Undercover Crate...

OK, if you have been looking for different ideas for storage I have a seriously cool project for you to try....seriously...cool...seriously. Did I mention I was serious? Alrighty, now...This is what you do:

1. Go to THIS link and print off the directions.

2. Go to your all time favorite fabric store (such as this one, this one, or this one) and pick up some awesomly awesome fabric. I chose some that goes in my living room because I was in desperate need of some storage in there for all of my yarn. I have quite a bit. Scot couldn't believe I filled one of these things up with all yarn. I'm obsessed. What?

4. Unfortunately you will have to go to this store to find the best deal on the crate. Sorry. The pattern does show you how to customize this project to any kind of open storage crate like this but I just like these crates because they are sturdy and a good size...

3. Come home and follow the directions and in about an hour you will have one seriously CUTE storage crate! I plan to make more of these for all over the house. I LOVE it!

Thanks Scoter for a beautiful new coffee table!

Sac Town Where you Don't Back Down...

A few months ago Southwest was advertising that they were selling air plane tickets for 50% off out of Denver. Wooo hooo. We jumped right on that and bought tickets to go see my parentals in February. We had a great time spending time with them this last weekend, we just wish we could have stayed longer! On Friday they took us to the GREATEST store on earth...IKEA. I officially Heart IKEA.

I bought so much stuff that I had to leave a lot of it behind for my parents to bring with them when they drive over in June. Yikes! I have no self control! Why doesn't Colorado have one of these stores? That is RIDICULOUS! I might have to write a letter.

After IKEA we went back to the homestead and relaxed a bit and then I decided to take Scot to some of my old stomping grounds. We went down to the Sacramento River and walked along the dock where the Delta King and the Spirit of Sacramento is...Here we are with the bridge in the background.

After we walked along the water for a while we decided to go back up and walk around Old Sac. We took a seat along the way that overlooks the river...How Romantical...

We wandered around for a while and of course had to go to Evangeline's the only store really worth going to in Old Sac (you other sac town people can vow to this) and I also always have to go to the store with the barrels of Salt Water Taffy and Jelly Belly's because I am chubby like that.

On Saturday my mom signed us up to take a scrapbooking class where we made these super CUTE desk calendars while my dad and Scot played darts:

Here is how March turned out...I still need to get some pictures in it...:)

That night my family came over for pizza and we had a nice visit with them. No pictures though! DOH! Sunday we had to go home. BOOOOO. It was really rainy and nasty on Sunday so we just kind of hung out at the house and visitied before we had to go to the airport. SAD!

We had a great visit and can't wait for you guys to come see us in June! We are going to have so much fun!

Fabric Basket

And...another project. Aren't you sooooo excited? I can feel the excitement. So I was browsing online one day and ran across this tutorial on Pink Penguin and I fell in LOVE! I was thinking of all the wonderful things I could do with this basket. I was going to do all kinds of organizing and make 3 or 4 of them for the living room for all of my yarn and magazines, it was going to look soooo fabulous! So I printed it off and went out and bought this SUPER cutie fabric and started working right away as soon as I got home never really paying that close attention to the dimensions on the tutorial. Well as I started cutting I thought, man this is pretty small but I just kept on going thinking it would get better. Finally as I was cutting out the last piece I was like this is going to be one SMALL fabric basket...and it is...and that's OK...I am still in LOVE. My next goal is to tweak it so that I can make a much larger one for organizing. Should be pretty easy. I will let you know....

Hockey Game!

Scot and I don't share A TON of the same interests but one of the things that we do love equally is hockey! A couple weekends ago we went to an Air Force Hockey game up at the Academy. They played Holy Cross college. It was PACKED because it was $2 ticket night. We had such a great time hanging out together and watching our team play! They did really well and there was a lot more fighting than usual which is why I like to go. Woo hoo!

Here is a B-U-T-T ugly picture we took at the game. STOP looking at my double chin...I said STOP...Seriously don't make me come over there...

Here is the team...Just look directly above the lady with the ginormous bangs!

Go Air Force!
