pallet coffee table.

well i do not believe it... but we actually made the pallet coffee table this weekend. go us!

(in these pictures it looks like scotty did all of the work... but he did not).

1. have your husband bring home two pallets from work.
2. sand them down. then sand them again.
3. laquer the heck out of them.
4. pick out some cool industrial looking wheels for the bottom. attach.
5. enjoy!

1. beautiful surf weekend
2. she thinks she runs the house
3. whoah
4. wedding cake- 368 days later

for our little one.

we decided that when we have our little girls baby naming, we are going to have something like this set up:

(it will be a special reminder for her when she grows up of how many people stopped by to love her. dont you think?)



maybe change the basket in front to be a baby carrier? or sub it for a little tricycle. we arent there yet... clearly.

one year.

scotty and i celebrated our one year wedding anniversary this past weekend. we had planned to spend the day together outside (it was gorgeous out) and then have a beautiful dinner @ geoffrey's on the beach.

instead we sat on the couch while i nursed my cold and watched bad television. i didnt even shower. i am a terrible wife. i did make breakfast for us... an egg sandwich has to count for something. and our romantic dinner got switched to soup from whole foods and a pint of ben and jerry's ice cream.

he did spoil me though. i have hinted that i wanted a rose gold band to match his. now we are best friends with matching rings. love you husband. thanks for the lazy, kind of romantic day. and for not making me feel too bad for ruining our plans.i really should have taken a better pic...

i made scotty a little "year in review" card. i thought doing one of these every year would give us something fun to look back on when we have a 25 or 50 page booklet.

it has been QUITE the year husband. indeed. thanks for every one of the 365 days. even the bad ones. i cant believe how much more i love you than i did a year ago... how is that even possible?

baby girls room.

i am having such a hard time finding nursery inspiration... so here are some snippets of things i have found and saved on my desktop. i am new to photoshop. pardon me.

babymoon.

i would imagine it was either a woman or a resort that invented the babymoon. maybe it is silly. maybe it isnt. i dont care. when my husband asked me "where do you want to go on our babymoon?" i got very excited.

we will be spending 4 days in sedona, arizona. one hour flight, and then a long weekend at l'auberge de sedona ... lots of walks along the red rock, cabin on the river, relaxation... yes, please! thanks husband. this will be fun!

20.

i wont do this weekly... but i am five months of prego now. how did this go by so fast?
