Artsy Craftsy....lol







So I'm trying to get back into a hobby....will probably be going in and out of photography, starting oil painting again and have been playing around with acrylics. The coolest thing I'm trying now is called "light painting". I'm still experimenting but so far so good....let me know what you think!

PORT ARANSAS

Unfortunately it was too hot for Kyle to want to go...but Regan, Patrick and I had a good time. It was hot and thank goodness Devon brought her shade tent or we probably wouldn't have made it. We all burned and spent the whole weekend under the tent!








Washington DC

So this was Kyle's first trip... and first time on the Metro!


This was INSIDE the resort!

















House...no wait Home pictures..lol

Here's one example of the before
and after...amazing what new
carpet can do!!

Time Travels Fast

Good grief...I haven't been doing a very good job keeping this up to date. As Devon pointed out to me last weekend.
Just to catch up....We got the house!!! That was the most nerve racking experience. I thought my last couple of car buying experiences were bad. Although it was stressful, our process was pretty uneventful, compared to most from what I understand. Sorry Dev.
So we are in the house, have been doing alot of updating. Luckily the house is in great shape, just needed some paint and updating. We got the house painted except for the kitchen and dining room and the guest bath. Mainly because I can't make up my mind what color I want. The dining room looks like a paint sample. There's at least 10 different colors on the wall!
We got new carpet throughout the house a couple of weeks ago and boy did it make a difference!
I'll be posting some "after" pictures soon.
Will also be updating on our trip to DC! Which was Kyle's first trip there. Got a lot of good pictures. Last weekend Regan and Patrick and I took our "annual" trip to Port A...it was hot but we had a good time.
Kyle and I are doing great. The house has been a fun project. Although we couldn't have done any of it with out Don's help. He has done a lot of work and we both greatly appreciate it.
Now it's just a contest to see which one of us spills something first on the new carpet and how we will survive it!!
