Full of pictures

I've finally gotten around to taking some pictures! I didn't get any from the very beginning, but this is a start. It has been a lot of fun getting to watch Alan build this. He has put a lot of time and effort into making this perfect. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Just the shelves!



Yay for drawers!


Alan, hard at work.


One of the drawers, after the first coat of stain.



We were driving home from Abilene several weeks ago and King decided that he wanted to drive Alan's car. It was too cute not to get a picture. He even looked at me! Ha

Look at me drive!


More pictures to come! I'll have to get some with me sanding and staining something... what a sight that is.

Wood Crafting

So Alan has decided to teach himself how to build stuff. His first project is to build me a buffet. Right now, it will go in our pantry/laundry room, but whenever we move, it will be able to go somewhere more prominent. I didn't get a picture of the before, but I will definitely get pictures of the middle of the process and then the finished product. I'm just deciding whether to stain it or paint it.

After he builds this, I've requested that he build me a bookshelf for all of my children's books. I want it to look like a house, with a pointed roof and everything! I can't wait to see how it turns out! Hopefully my sister will be able to paint it to look pretty cool. :)

I didn't have to teach today, but unfortunately I do have to go to class. :( I'm a bad student and didn't get all the reading done. Oh well. We have a guest speaker so hopefully that will take up quite a bit of time. We also have a video to watch, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll watch that tonight as well.

Have a great rest of your Monday!

First post!

So I figured I'd take the plunge. I've been contemplating starting up a blog since I've started reading them, but I honestly don't have much to blog about during this phase of my life. I figured this might be a good way for friends and family to keep up with us if nothing else. I'll end this first post with a couple of favorite pictures from our wedding. Enjoy!
