Speaking of cleaning..
We have this red slip cover on our couch that greatly improves the look of our living room... but at the same time It is so obnoxious because I feel like every time you sit on it, it requires straightening out after and frankly I am really tired of fixing it.... I am hoping that one day we will find some awesome fabric that is in our price range so my Papa Buzz can cover it.. I am also hoping that he can make us an awening for our door so that when winter and snow come we will have a little cover from the snow and it won't track in as much mess...

and that leads me to another list of things that we seem to keep putting off.... like finishing our "thank you" cards from the wedding... I think I only have like 10 left ... I think I will celebrate when that is done... but we also need to take care of switching our car insurance and combining our phones to one plan. You wouldn't believe how much "paperwork" is involved in getting married.
So this weekend we had the opportunity to go to Casper, WY for David's cousins (Jason & Wendy) "wedding vow renewal" Ceremony. And we had such a great time together. Jason & Wendy have a blended family of 5, and the welcomed us in as if we were part of the family... well we are family.. but you know what I mean. They had a simple ceremony in their back yard and they even had David and I read a poem during it. It was such an honor to be part of their special moment. I am so glad we are able to get to know them. On of the best parts of the trip was the conversations we had together late at night when the kids went to bed... it is so cool to talk about what God is doing in our lives and listen to how He is moving in theirs....

David and I love road trips... because it gives us hours of uninterrupted time together! This trip I read the entire book "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins (the 2nd book of the Hunger Game Series). It was so fun! I love reading out-loud to my husband... and it was fun being able to talk about the book together...Because we don't have TV to watch in the evenings I hope that we start doing that more in the evenings instead of reading by ourselves. Its really nice being able to share that time together.

i had one of those slip covers once. my mom told me you can stick a yard stick behind the cushions to hold the fabric down. does yours not stay tucked into the cushion? that's what mine did. every time i sat on it, it would be like someone just threw a blanket over the top of it. annoying. anyway, yeah, i guess just take a yard stick and push it and the fabric between your cushions and the back of the couch. and do you really have to make an apt to take your stuff to goodwill? i just go to mrm and drop it off. they even give me the tax slip right then and there. i could be that annoying person who didn't make the apt and ruined their day though. i'm sometimes oblivious. haha
ReplyDeleteCool... thanks for the advise. I hope I can find a yard stick ASAP~~. and no you don't have to make an appointment for goodwill... but I plan on taking in this stuff to "Nearly New" and they have you make an appointment. Its a cool place because they sell your stuff and then you get a portion of what they sell it for back. And then at your appointment if there isn't anything they want or they have too much of something they give it back and I take it to goodwill or they do that too.
