I've decided to be a lot better at keeping this blog updated which won't be easy come today; ASU is officially in session for the Fall semester! I can't tell if I am ready for another semester or if I wouldn't mind continuing summer break. I'm ready to work hard in school again but more importantly I'm SO READY for my last semester of classes! One last semester of procrastinated papers, light rail rides with weirdies and the hot AZ heat beating down on me as I walk to each class only to be drenched in sweat by the time I get there.
Summer flew by. It is so weird to think that just last summer I was meeting Tyson for the first time. How wonderful to be married to my best friend. I couldn't have imagined anything better. Each day I find myself being so Thankful for the plan Heavenly Father has for me. The way life has worked out is 100% different and more perfect from what I had planned for myself. This summer was a lot like last only better because we're married. We love swimming, crafting (projects as Tyson calls them...sounds more manly), Goodwill 1/2 off shopping, thrift stores, bike rides, watching movies together, going to the library and being with family. What I've found is that the simple things are so much fun just because we get to do them together. Recently we've taken up yard work together. HAHA. Boy is it fun. I am quite impressed that we survived working together for so long. We put in a good six hours of trimming, sawing, raking, bagging and loading branches onto a trailer. I usually would let Tyson take care of all the outside big jobs while I clean, wash and cook but this time I was convinced to help. It turned out to be quite fun working together.
One of my favorite projects this summer was our nightstands we FINALLY found. We've been looking for nightstands for such a long time I had just about given up on them. Good old Craigslist helped us out and be brought home two nice sized nightstands. While they were still in good shape our house was needing a "pop" of color. We bravely picked out a wonderful shade of Yellow and got to painting. The project ended up being way more tedious than expected. We thought the idea to add cabinets to the front of the nightstands was such a great idea, until we started cutting them out. Literally 6 Home-Depot trips later and my door to the nightstand is still being perfected. Who knew the hardest part would be dealing with the hinges? NOT ME! Pictures will come with the next post.
