Excuses are like armpits...

Everyone has one and they all stink.
Soooo... I could say we've been waayy to busy to blog. Or I could say its Ryne's fault because he started this whole thing and he hasn't blogged in months and left it all up to me. Or I could say my computer just takes too long to update pictures and what's fun about a blog without pictures? Or I could say a bunch of stuff but I'm not. Sorry, we just stink at blogging. Too bad too, because it'd be way more fun to get paid to blog than to do actual work.

Anyways, we left off telling you about our new couch. Well, it finally came in! Yay! And we L.O.V.E it. It's so comfortable! We got it in sometime during August. (Oh! and we ended up selling our old couch the day our new one came in! WooHoo free money! The guys didn't even try talking us down or anything.) After we got our couch situated and everything, we realized we had a problem. Our new couch was a light color, our carpet is a light color, and our walls were a light color. EVERYTHING blended in together. It did not look very fun. Ryne and I decided right then that we were going to paint. :) And that weekend we got our paint cans and accomplished a project for the weekend. We painted it a light gray. And I must say, I am very satisfied with how it turned out! (Thanks ML for the color advice. And thanks to Ryne's mom and Madison for supervising our first painting experience!)



Painting!

Next on the agenda are fun pillows and still a chair for Ryne.

Our weekends have been filled with family, friends, and football.

We made a trip to Florida to see my aunt, both my uncles, and my granny. I was sooo glad we got to spend time together! It was a fun long weekend with some of the people I love most. Not only did we get to see them, but we rode down with my mom and dad. I am so thankful for the time we have together.

We made a trip to Auburn for the Auburn/Florida Atlantic game to spend some time with some of our best friends. Words cannot express how nice it was to visit with Mary Louise, Michael, Gina, and Travis. We had the best time!

 

The following weekend, we made a trip up to Huntsville to see some friends get married. Not only that, but we got to see Gina and Travis two weekends in a row. They make my heart smile. Jackson became friends with Mia and sweet little Bella. It was fun seeing some of our Auburn friends.

For the Auburn/Florida game, we went back to the loveliest village on the plains for tailgating fun and to visit all our friends who came back to town. It was so fun to see the 151 girls (hey ladies! sorry it took me so long to update! :), and Terah, and KevKev, and the Potts, just everybody!

And now, that pretty much brings up to the past couple of weeks. We had fun carving pumpkins with Madison and Ryan. We also had a great time at our church's fall festival! I just finished up with A Meal with Jesus study. Monday nights were such a blessing to me. So, if you're looking for a great book, there's my recommendation!
 

I'll finish up our post with some fun! We are still pinteresting like crazy! For our fall decorations we've made a vase out of a craft pumpkin. My wonderful husband built me a mantle. (But, I've got to give him all the credit, not that addicting website. He came up with the idea out of crown molding all by himself.) Several weeks ago, I made a ribbon wreath for football season. But you should totally check out the super cute door hanger my sister-in-law made us. My ribbon wreath was taken off the door as soon as Kristin gave the Auburn door hanger to us. The latest craft, was my burlap/linen ruffle Christmas tree skirt. I fell in love with it on pinterest and just had to make one. I will definitely be making some burlap stockings to match. (How silly would it be to make Jack a stocking too?) (So yeah, if you want a Christmas tree skirt but don't have any time to make one, I can make one for you and sell it to you...)
