Our new home!
Ryan and I barely closed on this house just last week! We get to start fixing it up now so we can move in! We are in the process of having carpet installed and Ryan and I will spend the next week painting! (the colors in it are super weird! haha) Here are some pictures! The first one is my kitchen, but i'm definetly repainting it! The 2nd picture is where the table goes, 3rd picture is a little part of the backyard.. we have a little gazibo thing with a built in grill. The 4th picture is the garage, we tried fitting the truck in there, and it BARELY fit.. haha. And 5th, the house!!!! Yay!!! We love it! It will be Home Sweet Home in NO time! We will post pictures again when everything is all done!!

So, for Labor Day weekend, Ryan and I went to Thatcher to visit the family! We stayed with Bryan and Amber and it was way fun! Bryan and Ryan played golf and Xbox like everyday, while Amber and I hung out at home and watched the kids! I got to spend some time with my mom and she showed me a little example on how to sew a "really easy quilt" (her words)! She wanted me to try doing one! So I promised I would at least try!
She gave me a sewing machine, and everything i needed to get started, so when we got home, off I went to Joann's Fabric. I picked out my fabric, brought it home and called my mom! She had to walk me through each little step! I was freaking out! I was so scared to cut my first piece haha! But once I did, i just kept going, cutting everything out! Then came the sewing! I just finished my first quilt last night! I was so excited and so proud of myself! Haha! I couldnt have done it without my mom! She wasnt behind me showing me and telling me what to do, but she was on the phone a lot helping me! Thanks mom! So here are some pictures..... I don't have a sewing table, so I used our dinner table, and I dont have an ironing board, so again, I used the dinner table and a towel! I thought it looked pretty funny! But, it all worked well! Hooray! (dont look too closely at the quilt or you will see all its flaws! hahaha)
