Goodbye Summer!

Steven and I have had so much fun this summer. From going to Disney World to fixing up the house, we have been super busy! Our latest adventure was going to Cleveland, Ohio for my cousin's wedding. What a fantastic trip! It was bittersweet going back to Grandpa's house and him not being there, but we managed ok.

Elise's wedding was incredible! She looked like a timeless princess. It was obvious that she and Austin are totally in love. It was great seeing all of our family again, but we definitely need more time visitng with them!

It is sad, but summer is almost over. Next week Steven and I both work band camps, then we start teacher workdays after that. Where did the summer go? It seems like just yesterday we were saying goodbye to the students! Hopefully we will be able to have a little more fun before getting sucked into the busy school year. It has surely been a great summer!

Vacation

Steven and I are so excited! We are leaving for Orlando, Florida tomorrow for Jaclyn's wedding on Saturday. While we are there we will go to Disney World and Epcot Center. Steven has never been to Florida so this is going to be awesome! He's going to be like a 5-year old in a candy store! Haha. After that we are going to go down to West Palm Beach to visit my aunt. It will be so relaxing and enjoyable. We are very ready to get away!

We are temporarily done with the kitchen. Our new appliances arrived yesterday and they didn't fit so Steven and my Dad have been working hard to make them fit. After hours of hard work -- they do! So we are done for now. We are very pleased with it and will maybe post pictures of it when we are totally finished! :)

Renovations

Steven and I have decided to renovate our kitchen. After a tiny kitchen fire left a hole in one of the walls, we either had to touch up the paint or redo the entire thing. So... yesterday we painted, with the help of Brian, from the sponged yellow to a beautiful light green. It looks great so far! Today we began tiling the backsplash behind the stove and sink and then a border along the countertops. It should look great when it's done, but it takes a lot of work! Steven has done a wonderful job doing all of the handywork. We are excited because this is the first big project we have done in our new house. I can't wait until it's finished!! :)

First Time Post

Well since all of our friends have been blogging for a while, we decided to give it a shot. This way our friends and family can be updated with what is going on in our lives. I can't promise that we will post that much, but we will try it and see how it goes. That being said, it is time for bed.

Good Night!!
