Summer Update

So I have been kinda slackerish about this blog. I'm getting a little bit better, but at the same time...not really. Anyways, so we had stuff happen this summer that i haven't bothered to post. So here we go...

Alright, so this was actually before summer, but i got bored one day and decided to make a cake. It was just a little cake and i was trying out making my own fondant. It didn't go too badly. It was kinda annoying but really fun at the same time. Eric even helped me out...he was such a trooper!

I did some other cakes but just with frosting...I did one for my mother-in-law. I decorated it with cream cheese frosting...which is not a good hold frosting...btw...it melts really fast, which is why its not a good hold frosting. It was white with paisley designs on it. it was pretty cute...i wish i had a picture of it. i also did a tye-dye cake for my sisters 18th birthday. it was cute also...man i wish i was better at taking pictures. Both pictures are on our parents cameras. But if i ever get ahold of those pictures i will put them up.

Also during the time i wasnt really working because we we're going to move i finally had time to redo a dresser and nightstand that we bought a while ago. Like i said, Im horrible at taking pictures so i kinda forgot about taking a before picture....but trust me it looked nasty. It had stains and paper on it that was suppose to look like wood...there's a word for it but i cant think of it right now. So we had to peel off all the nasty stained paper...which was the hardest part, but once that was done it was so much easier to make it look pretty.


Its more of an off whiteish color not white and that the original hardware...its super cute now!

Because the inside was so nasty Eric had a great idea to cover the insides with fabric. I love my crafty man. He has such good ideas.

This is the matching nightstand!

Same thing with these drawers. I think these were Eric's favorite.

We also celebrated Eric's 25th birthday. And i want to take the time now to apologize to Eric for being so late. He totally took the time to write me a sweet birthday message and my birthday is after his. So his birthday is June 25th. So this year was the big golden birthday. Im not sure how much it actually matters but nobody mentioned my golden birthday when it came around, so i figured somebody in this relationship should get their golden b-day recognized.

So for Eric's birthday we went to breakfast and then to the pool to watch his niece and nephews swim for a little bit. After that we got an awesome ice cream cake for that night. Later his family came over and we had ourselves a little birthday party. We had the traditional pizza and ice cream cake. And we opened presents. My family was out of town that day, but the next day my family through him a pool party. And had pizza and brownies and more presents! YAY! All in all it was a pretty good couple of days.

Eric i want you to know how much i love and appreciate you. You've been my best friend for the last (almost) 4 years. and i wouldnt trade those years for anything. I absolutely love having you around and i cant wait to have our own offical family together. You are my life and Im not sure what i would do without. I love you babe!

Eric opening up presents

Eric bracing himself for the present hitting song.

The birthday person gets bumped on the head with their present and then its the birthday persons job to wish something happy/good for the person who bumped them. Its a really fun tradition that teaches you to be more selfless on your birthday.

So other things that happen. oh i got lasik eye surgery and i now have 20/15 vision. I love all of todays technologies. Best of all it didnt even hurt. So all you blind-es out there go get it done...right now! And my sister-in-law had her babies...thats right twins. One little boy and one little girl...so cute trust me! She named them bryndle and garrison. Also my little brother got married and again no pictures from me, but considering i have more pictures this post and i took all of them myself, i have to say Im getting betterish. Oh...we haven't moved yet. Yay! Dont know when we will or where we'll be going but you know we're hanging in there making ends meet. I cant wait for the day we're not pinching pennies anymore, so until then we keep on going. Anyways, i think thats about it for now. We're pretty much all caught up on everything. So i guess until next time.
