So many happenings this summer!

Soon to be wed...Sam & Michael

Tom's oldest younger sister Samralee is only a month away from saying "I Do" to her adorable fiancé Michael and I can't wait for the day to be here already!  

Sam is putting together the fairy tale wedding we all dreamed of when we were little.  We had a chance to sit down on Sunday during Father's Day and go over more details...it's going to be absolutely amazing!  I'm trying to help with some of the DIY projects and I'm hoping they look more Professional than Do It Yourself!  For some reason it's more exciting working on other people's wedding than it is your own!


The one keeping me sane through wedding planning

Meet Cheyenne, my sorta wedding planner!  She is going to kill me for stealing her picture, especially this one, but I love the baby bump, so I had to!
Anyway, Cheyenne is a real time wedding planner...gets paid for it and everything.  She has been so helpful during the planning process.
She's making my guest book, put together the wedding schedule, and is always sending over good ideas.  I'm so grateful to have her around!
Did I mention she lives in Alaska?
Yeah, that's when you know you have a good friend, when she is willing to help you out while living in a different state and about ready to have baby #2 at no cost!  Did I also mention she is putting together all the details to my bachelorette party too?
I tell her all the time I wished she lived closer!
Don't you all wish you had a Cheyenne?


Sneak Peek!

We have been doing a few little remodel projects to the new house we just purchased.  I'll post real pics as soon as it's clean, but here's a little teaser for now.

This is a shot of our hallway before the new door and trim package.  Flush hollow core birch doors with standard 2 1/4" colonial casing.  Very bleh, right?

Here is the updated 3 panel VG Fir solid wood doors with 1x3 casing, a big tall header, 1x5 base, and if you look close you can see the plinth blocks on the bottom!  
More pictures to come!
