Love Those Summer Days

Around here, we are loving summer and being outside and Dan's days off.

Today consisted of:
♥ sleeping in/snuggling
♥ visiting our friends, Angie and Wesley, and swimming in their kiddie pool
♥ playing pool in our garage
♥ hanging out with Jeremy, Kaela, Jack, and Harlie
♥ helping my grandpa put in the swamp cooler at my parents' house
♥ starting the "spring cleaning" project of cleaning up the outside of my house and enjoying the absolutely wonderful 8:30pm temperatures of summer nights
♥ Dan going to see the new X-Men with friends while Aurora sleeps and I watch an older movie called Roxanne (if you've never seen it, watch it!)

Also, last night when Dan got off work, he helped me with a make-over project involving our plastic outdoor chairs and "peek-a-boo blue" spray paint. Ahh! I love them! Problem to be fixed? The fact that the spray paint residue rubs off on your skin...and, possibly, your clothes...  I WILL find a fix because they're too cute not to!

Yeah, This is Going to Happen

Guys, you have to check out this blog--A Beautiful Mess. They basically have great tutorials and super cute home decor ideas. I love it! It's quickly become my favorite blog to read. I mean, look at how cute this idea is! She hand painted this statement wall in their bedroom. Yeah, amazing. I wonder if Dan would go for it in ours...? hehe

Speaking of Dan, tonight was fun. We had kind of an at-home-date-night. We went to Sonny Boy's Barbecue and got the sampler for two, of course, with our two sides of fried cauliflower. To. Die. For. Pretty much. Then we cozied up on the couch to watch 50 First Dates. I forgot how much I love that movie!

I love spending time with my man ♥

Settled In

Well, we're all moved into our new place (We even met some of our neighbors yesterday). Still unpacking and setting up our stuff how we want it but it's looking great and Dan and I are loving it! It was pretty cool that while putting away things, we found some cute shelves in the laundry room. Dan put those up yesterday to hold our TV in our front room and it looks so good (I'll post pics later)! Dan is such a handyman J Then I made a cute little display for all my instant photos using twine and my old bulletin board. I love how it turned out! I can't wait til we have everything just how we want it in our little place.
