Honey i'm amazed by you!

Ta-Dah here is the finished headboard.

HONEY DO LIST

So I have a love of searching the internet for furniture.

I spend too much time perusing sites for stuff i dont need just want.

Waste of time i know!

So i found this really cool bed on Overstock but of course they dont have it in a king.

Why not?!!!

Because that would make my husbands life a whole heck of a lot easier!!! So i inform him that i think he can build us this bed frame and that it will be easy for him to do when he comes home. He doesnt sit still very well. He went and got the wood and started measuring and cutting. Isnt that a look of how much he loves me in this moment of lots of work?!!!

I dont think he knew what he was getting into when he married me...

Now i have someone else to pull into my crazy projects...

He was doing a great job and so i had to come out and make it a little harder. I "helped" him with the laying out and measuring of the rectangles... Did you know that three forths of an inch and three quarters of inch is the same thing? Well we got frustrated with each other when we were saying it too the other and the other was just not understanding!

He finished it and painted it black like i wanted... now i want it white. Do you think i will get my way? I will post pictures when its in the house!

Honeymoons over!!!

This week i went up and stayed with manny on the boat in oxnard... i enjoy these visits because i get to watch him work and i read or go out and run errands. I love the peace of sitting in a beautiful place and soaking in the sites, sounds, and smells!
So let me tell you how i know that the honeymoon is over!

This time it was raining and very cold. So manny and i turned on the little heater in the stateroom to get it nice and toasty.

too toasty at times. its a love hate relationship, you want and love the heat but then you are roasting its so hot but then too cold when its off. so it was a constant wake up turn it on shivering, wake up to turn it off panting its so hot...

then there is the size of the bed...

i have a story.

a long time ago i lived with my grandparents and my family was coming to visit. My grandparents were getting the beds ready for them when my grandma and grandpa were "whispering" to each other about a twin pullout bed. My grandpa insist its ok for the 2 boys to
sleep in to which i hear my grandmothers oh so wise words "That bed wouldnt even make newlweds happy to sleep in!"

Truer words have never been spoken.

So now this comes up with with this trip.

The bunks are smaller than a twin. Try we did. But after hours of "sleeping" with our arms falling asleep, faces hitting the ribs of the boat... being too hot from the heater... we tapped out!

ps... the tuck and roll its the smartest move in the world!

meet the newest family member

Now Introducing Sir Reginald king of the checks. just look at that little checkerboard face... i wasnt going to get a cat, then i saw his cute little face and knew he was MINE!!! i look forward to our many years together... i just hope he can get used to the kisses and loves and snuggles.

family days

Its not a secret that i love my family... but this picture is classic. My dad obviously needs a cane, he has no balance. Jonathan tried to dodge some little kids when he was getting off of the ski lift and ended up injuring his knee. They looked so similar it cracks me up.

Jonny came in with this cane of bamboo that was too tall. I asked Manny to help Jonny cut it down, he tried but because it was bamboo it would split... So he went out and made one for him out of wood. Days like these are glorious to me!

Christmas tree time

Here is the Christmas tree Kimmie...when we first put up the tree i hated how skinny it was but as the season went on i loved it. it was the perfect size for our apartment! I asked Manny if we could keep it up all year round and just put seasonal decorations on it. He agreed, but i thought it wouldnt be as magical when it was christmas :) So down went the tree and an i am eager for another christmas so i can put up more of my new ornaments!

Beautiful LAKE TAHOE!!! oh how the beautiful the trees were. They sucked the air out of me... The color was such an intense vibrant color. I miss seeing fall! I loved how the colors was all over the mountains. I was home and it felt good!

I loved the rocky beaches and was thankful that i just kept my shoes on!

So Pretty!

We met up with one of my favorite people in the world... We went to emerald bay and threw rocks into the waterfall with AK!

This is one of the reasons i love manny!!! AK was out of rocks and so manny went on a hunt... both hands and his sweatshirt pocket!

I love how Beautiful and colorful that this area is! It was calm and relaxing after the wedding... a girl cant ask for more!
