a roomie once more....

once upon a time i moved home from utah and planned on moving in with nicole. well... that didnt really work out so hot... i didn't find a job for forever and then her brother ended up moving in with her. anyway. it just never did work out. well now she is getting married (in april), but her apartment lease is up at the end of this month... and she didn't want to have to pay out the wazoo for 2 months so she is actually moving in to the farr household... woot! 

for some reason we have an overabundance of furniture as of late (yes... that does in fact mean it's time for me to move out, haha).... so her little room is a bit tight with her big ol' queen size bed.  

we ended up giving adrian & dustin the other half of the bunk beds (they have the other half already)... mom & dad took it down last weekend. dad was loading it up in the truck... and this is what i found...


it makes me smile. when we were little adrian, kelsey & i would crawl under the bed and play tic-tac-toe. it's definitely one of my favorite memories... i had no idea the crayon would last this long! i think mom was getting a little sentimental as we were moving the bed out... she said that this is the first time in 18 years that bed has been out of that little room. i'm pretty sure i saw a single tear roll down her cheek. ps... i'm very hopeful that someday little miss hayley will have a little brother or sister (or cousin... but at this point a sibling is much more logical haha) to play tic-tac-toe with underneath the bunkbeds!! :)

anyway... today, nicole (and the boys) moved in her bed and some of her stuff (the majority is going to her fiance's house though). and apparently it takes four boys to put together a bed frame. sheesh... i love each one of those boys. 



 it went from this... 
(from when i moved home almost 2 years ago... can we say "wow!")


to this... all dusty, sad & empty...
 

to this... (as of tonight)


and now this room is almost ready for nicole to officially move in! (now we need to work on a new painting/rearranging the ones already in there! i love this part!!) i sure am excited to have my old roomie back with me!

duct tape beautiful...

so... once upon i found a blog post [here] on how to make a duct tape rosette wreath. i fell in love with it. i even convinced danielle & kelsey to make one too! they're just so freaking cool! so i'm definitely considering it my valentine's day wreath. so awesome!




::

i also saw a few posts about pedestal bowls... i fell in love with those too... so i went down to the goodwill by my house and picked up 2 little wooden bowls and 2 little wooden candlesticks. i gorilla glued them together and then spray painted them. too cute right? and so simple easy!



ps... happy valentine's day, y'all!!

blincoln....

it's come to my attention that i am a lame blogger... and it's pretty much the truth. i haven't blogged in like four weeks or something insane like that... it sucks being an adult, having a job, being busy and junk.

well... austin gave me something to blog about finally, bless his heart. this is his extra credit for his history class, i believe. his creativity and ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. love that kid!
