After a 6 month hiatus, I am back at the blog! I'll try reeaaally hard to post more than every 6 months, but no promises. Hehe!
As you know, David and I recently purchased a home here in Utah and we absolutely love it! Well, we love most of it. There are a few things that we want to change about it, one of them being this very bright orangey-red wall in our family room. So, this weekend we have said farewell to our red wall as the first step to updating our home!
I now present....

Here comes Blue!
Once again, I made David take this picture to prove that I helped |

Way Too Many Pictures of a Wall
We have more plans for this wall and fireplace. We want to take out the tile and switch it for a light colored slate that will go up the entire height of the wall. We then want to put a floating mantle over the fireplace as well as install floating shelves on the sides. We are also toying with the idea of putting in cupboards on either side of the fireplace.
Here's a picture that is kind of my inspiration for what I'd like to do with our fireplace. I think the light colored slate will look great with the blue wall we now have!

| I absolutely love this look! |
After our fun with painting we took an evening family walk to the park that is about a block away from us. We live in such a great area and we love this park. We also love walking around our neighborhood and looking at all of the cute houses and getting ideas for our yard that is slowly coming together.

David and I have been called and sustained as Primary Workers at church and have been assigned to the 9-11 year old girls class. We are team teaching with another young couple so will only have to teach every other week, which works out great since David works every other Sunday. Taking care of Maddie and teaching the class by myself might be too much, so it's great that David can be there every time. Maddie really is in a very busy stage and church can be hard for her!
Today we played a new game with her during sacrament meeting that kept her entertained most of the time. We took her bag of treats and put it on the far side of David so that she would cruise over there, then when she got there we'd switch it to be next to me, so she'd have to walk back over. She loved this game, and loved getting treats, too. Hehe!
I now present...

Alright, this ends my blog post for now. Once again, I promise that I will try really hard to post again before Thanksgiving ;)
Much love,
