Our Recent Projects






The first thing I would like to show off is Jarom and mine stained glass projects. We have both been working on separate pieces, I wonder if you can guess whose is whose. Ü

Such a pretty heart

Such a mean looking DECEPTICON


The second thing, is finally what you have been long awaiting! Pictures of our car! After two weeks of trying to get it legal to drive, we are finally there. Some of the interesting road bumps along the way are as follows:

-Had to get new tires, but got a steal of a deal (so shiny...)


-Had to pass safety and emissions, but found out there were a couple crucial things out of place before it could pass: namely, the catalytic converter had been removed and must be replaced, as well as the DMV typed in our VIN number wrong on the title. Unfortunately, people aren't inclined to pass off your car in the title VIN doesn't match the car's VIN. So we had to wait for the new bad title to be mailed to us so we could bring it back to get a new good title mailed to us.
-Get a new battery
-Get $200 back from the guy we bought it from
-Buy a lock and key gas cap...Notice the cover is missing.....After the ingenious try on Jarom's part to hot glue the hinge on and use magnets to keep it closed while driving. (We think it is too hot outside so it melted the hot glue, which tends to melt at hot temperatures, and it fell off while we were driving)
-And finally! Get it registered and insured! Luckily, we can truthfully sign our lives away that we do not drink or smoke, so we get a pretty good cheap deal on our insurance that other insurance companies can't quite match.

I even drove it to work today for the first time. No more WALKING for GINA. Except to church, to save on gas... I guess.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
