First visitors in Flag

So the first guests that we had come visit were my parents and my sister. They came down over presidents day weekend. We went to Sedona for the day Saturday and the weather was so nice. We saw some native american jewelry. We went out to eat at a fun chinese place and then went on a nice hike. 

The rest of the weekend was filled with nice food, watching movies, playing games, going to church and doing some shopping. It was so nice to see family. I look forward to when more come down. 

Valentines Day 2013

So Valentines night was really fun with Spencer. He came home from work to dinner that I got ready for us. We had taquitos, asparagus, and fun sauces and dips. Then we had a heart shaped cake that I should not have frosted two colors, ha ha.

 I gave Spencer some running shorts, and he got me a cd. Nice and simple but so fun.

 Oh and I found this waiting for me in the kitchen.

Spencer was in charge of the activities for the night. We went to a clubhouse that our HOA owns and it was really fun. We played pool, checkers, wii and enjoyed the hot tub. So relaxing and fun.

Kitchen Cabinets

Another great project completed!!!

So before the project began, there was lots of prepping. There was more contact paper, on no we aren't finished with that lovely stuff, so that was a little tricky getting out. I had to use a spray bottle and a blow dryer.

It did leave a little bit of sticky stuff but we got it sanded off.

After the big sanding day, we realized we didn't take many pictures so here are a few.

Thanks to the previous owners, we were able to speed things up by using the electric sander they left for us. 

This is the primer drying on all of the drawers an doors.

We used a gray primer because it said it was good when using dark colors like black.

And again, the finished product! So much better. Also we painted the trim around the window which I think also looks loads better.

We also added some kitchen hardware. We found this cheap place online so it only cost us $45 to do the kitchen with about ten extras.

BUT... the kitchen is not done. I want to bring more color into it. So I think I will be spraying some things so I don't have to go buy more stuff. But I did work for a lady in the ward and for payment she lets me have store credit in her shop called Real Deals. So I found some fun stuff for the house. I found these great colors and they will be my kitchen colors.
