Art Project

Jon and I arrived in AZ with no kitchen table.  Our super comfy couch and ottoman serve the position for a while but when a member of our ward offered us this little set for $50 we couldn't refuse.  To begin with it was white and had some stains, the perfect little art project.  I wanted to paint the chairs different colors so Jon took me to Home Depot and helped me pick out the colors.  It was so fun! I first washed everything down with soap/water, then sanded it down and finally got my paint on! We used the  primer/paint combo and it worked well. 

Here's the final product: 

Jon's Trip to the Middle East

This is Jon visiting Petra. Petra is an ancient city carved out of surrounding rocks that is most known to those of us in the US from Indian Jones & The Last Crusade.  

They were able to take a 30 minutes hike up a trail to get a picture from this amazing view.

This is the group of guys Jon enjoyed working with while over seas. 

Young at Heart

I figured my first post better be a short one or I'll never get started on this whole blogging thing. SO... here it goes. Thank you to Summer for her expertise in getting this super cute background.  

When Jon got home from somewhere in between Abu Dhabi & Dubai he was quite tired and sun kissed from the hot desert sun.  I was so excited to have my husband home! While he was gone he celebrated his 28th Birthday.  I knew I had to have a REALLY good birthday surprise for him when he got home so where did I go?  

.... The Lego Store of course!  Soon to come... pics from Jon's trip to the middle east.
