Going to Colorado...

Casey and I are going to Colorado on Thursday for 6 days. We're going to see his family, this will be the last time that he see's them before he gets deployed. I don't know what were gonna do there but it will be fun just to get out of town. I don't know if you remember a few post back, I went with my grandma to a quilting class and we made those table toppers. Well I told Casey that I would make one for his mom's birthday and I just finished it so that I could take to Colorado with me, to give to her. Here are some pictures of the finished product. I made it with Christmas prints cause Casey said his mom didn't have a lot of holiday decorations so I thought that she would like this. Let me know what you think.

I really liked the colors they are the rich, deep colors. Kind of the ones that they consider are a country Christmas motif. I cut out two, one for my mother in-law and one for me so I will be making mine soon. I have like 4 or 5 to make. The next two will be wedding presents.

Casey's Birthday...

I know I am a little late posting these pictures and tell you what we did for Casey's birthday,  but we have been really busy. I have been working a lot lately, and Casey has been working, and last week he had the whole we of military class. So we haven't had a lot of time to do anything but, eat, sleep, work, and do some stuff around the house. I have been working on some flowers cause I am selling some and I wanted to make some for Casey's niece Zoe. So here are the ones I have done lately.

So now that you know how behind I have been, here are some pictures that we took, my Uncle and his family were here to visit (which is my dad's only sibling) Everyone was here except their oldest son Jared and my little sister Wendi. So here are some semi-family pictures. 

This is the group

My grandpa, dad and Tage

This is me on the phone, we were getting ready to take pictures.

So for Casey's birthday I got a really good deal on the same hotel we stayed at the first night of our honeymoon. I booked a room there, we went out to dinner and went shopping. It was a nice relaxing day. The room had rose petals on the floor leading up to the bed, it was really cool

For Casey's birthday, he got money from my parents which he spent on new military garments, he needed some more before he gets deployed. Then he got two new ties, a new watch and a few new shirts. All and all I think he had a good birthday. Here are some pictures of his presents.

You can't tell very well cause I couldn't take a good picture with out the flash. His watch is a skeleton watch, it winds itself when he moves his arm/wrist, there are no batteries.

I love the color of these ties, Casey kind of collects ties.

The orange one had a eagle on the front of it. I know it is hard to see it but I really like all the shirts he got. 

I know that this was a long post with lots of pictures but I hope all is well with all of you and your families. I will post again soon. Love to all.

Our before and inbetween stages.....

So I have been realizing lately that I need to take more pictures, then i looked on my computer and saw that I had some pictures from our trip to Texas that I know that I haven't posted. I will go home and post them in the next couple days, not that we went in in December and it has been 4 months I am a little behind. But I do have pictures of our before and in between pictures of our house. It is getting finished and I will put up some pictures before we decorate and then after we decorate. Here are the pictures....:)

It looks like a big mess, but it got so much worse! There was paper everywhere and the glue was sticky so I had to put this other stuff on the walls. Let me just say I think I may have bit off more that I can chew. I told my husband that if I ever say lets redo the house, he can kill me. I will redo one room at a time if I ever want to do it again but I will NEVER redo a whole house again. I just want to be moved in and live like normal married couples. As you can tell by my last few postings since they are posted at the butt crack of dawn, I am posting these from the comfort of my work, we will be getting internet at my house on the 5th which will be happy day for me. I like being able to keep up with my friends on their blogs and everything. Well I think that is about it for now. Much love to all.
