Mixed Feelings

We have had quite the summer so far and July is going to be the craziest! Between STILL finding a place to live, vacations, packing, moving, etc. we are going to be pretty busy. This past week Landon went to Florida for a national school competition and took 3rd place in economics! He had lots of fun at Universal Studios (especially the Harry Potter world), fishing, playing pool ball, and eating at yummy restaurants. But of course he missed his 2 buddies, Thor and I. :)



The weekend before we went fishing with Landon's dad. Thor had lots of fun biting at the waves, trying to drag sticks from the water that were 5 times his size, running through the dirt, and chasing birds. I found some really cool dried driftwood on the shore where the lake had gone down. They are little mini sculptures in themselves. Great coffee table/side table pieces.


I can't believe we are moving in a month! I definitely have mixed feelings about it. Both excited and nervous. Once I have a job and a place to live I think I'll feel a little better. But for now, I'm gearing up for Lake Powell! So excited! Only a couple more weeks to go!

Table & Chair Matchup

The dining room is one place people really do their home a disservice.  How? They have a matching dining set, a generic light fixture, and no rug under their table.  Raise your hand if that's you.  Don't worry, you're not alone.  Just by adjusting those 3 things (mix up your chairs, add a fun light fixture, add a rug) you can really revamp your dining room.  Just bought your dining set and can't afford new chairs?  Easy.  Keep your side chairs, but find some upholstered chairs to add as captain's chairs on each end of the table.  It will mix it up just enough! Plus you'll have 2 extra chairs when you have guests over.  Another option is painting your chairs a different color from your table and add some fun cushions or reupholstering the seats.                                             ...
