Our new desk!

My in-laws bought us a desk when we moved into our town house. Our old one was too big to put anywhere and we had a spot that needed something. So, they went to goodwill and bought us a desk so we had something to put on the bare wall and to put our computer on. It was the perfect size, however it needed some work. My friend, Casey, came over and was telling me about some projects she was working on so we got the bright idea to start doing our own projects. First up was our desk-so Josh, Casey and I got to work.

Casey and I staining the desk. (Yes, I know our glass is dirty-Hayden and Cayson kept putting their sweet hands and noses on it, watching us :) )

     Our finished desk (minus the hard ware-I think were are getting new hard ware, but haven't found exactly what we want yet.)! I love it! It looks much better

Starting Fresh

I have had a blog before, but I am starting new. I was not a consistent blogger with my other blog and really just didn't have the time to keep it going. Anyways, I really really want to use this to document what is going on in our lives now. I am really going to try and take the time to blog so I have something to look back on one day. This seems like a good way to document since I am not a scrapbooker and pictures never seem to find themselves developed after I load them on the computer. I've been slack because my grandmother does scrapbooks for my boys and they are really great, but the lack the every day things that go on in our lives.
