Trying to do better

Ok - so talking with Kristy, I realized she hadn't heard about the new car!!! So, I've got a few updates. Things that span the course of a few months, but might as well get updated on everything. 

So first...we built a pergola over our patio at the beginning of last school year, and this summer painted it white. We also added some sheer curtains to it - thank you IKEA. Check it out.

So, that's that - we also added some plants to the front of our house - the sun has tried it's best to kill them - but we're hoping they hang in there.. this was a fun EARLY morning planting them. hah. Here you go. They were much prettier when first planted - huge white in the back, white on the ground up front, and bright oranges. Will be adding more when the heat goes away a little bit. Remember, our first attempt!

Few more things - I redid the front bedroom while Heather was out of town at AB's bachelorette party. Here's what the room looks like now. Will have to find the before pictures. The photos above the bed, comforter, and curtains also from IKEA.  

Elsa wanted in on the photo taking opportuny!

When clean, it's Heather's scrapbooking desk - we cut out part of the closet and took off the doors. My 100 year old Grandma's high school diploma on the wall.

LASTLY - the new car. Heather's baby - Black Betty. '08 Nissan Altima

Push button start - gotta love it.
