Random Things in Life


I'm not very good at posting anymore... For some reason I think that I have to have some pictures to post about- or exciting news. Things have been going well for us though. We are just working away -- well some of us are still looking for another job (me). Jonny is such a hard worker, I am always amazed him. He is like the energizer bunny and is constantly going. There is hardly a night when we just relax and watch TV anymore. I guess that isn't a bad thing though- and it helps us enjoy the time we have together.

Here are some pictures of things we've been up to. ...
Just Cubby- How can you not love that face???

Jonny's friend Alex works for the Jazz and got us tickets one night. He is the manager over the suites- and since there was an empty one he let us go up in it. That was awesome. You get the treatment up there for sure. I ate WAY too much popcorn! The best part about it was that two sweets down from us was President Monson. (see below). I'm sure we weren't supposed to take pictures but couldn't resist.... It was so cool to see the prophet of the Lord so close- and to know that he likes the Jazz too!!!
Jonny was in Seattle one week and sent me these beautiful flowers!!!
This is the finished product of the bedroom downstairs..... We finished it a while ago but I'm still working on decorating it.
This is the finished bathroom. It feels nice to finally be done with our big projects. But probably not for long- we have a lot of work to do in the backyard once it warms up!


I've told a lot of you about our famous ottoman. Last fall we bought this nice ottoman- and it wasn't very cheap. Well we'd had it about 2 days before Cubby chewed the corner off. I was trying to figure out how to fix it but had no idea.... so it just sat there for a few months. Then about a month ago Cubby decided to destroy the whole top part. It wasn't a happy day at our house. But it actually ended up being better because I decided to try to be creative and recover the whole top and it worked out better then trying to figure out how to fix the corner part that he ruined first. Here are the pictures of before and after. Its not perfect- but as you can see much better than it was before!

Your house looks amazing. I have been in a Jazz suite before right next to the prophet too! I remember thinking - the prophet listened to wrap music during half time! haha :) Miss you and I am glad you guys are doing sooo well!

Your rooms look great Ashley, I can't believe how good that ottoman looks too- you are a miracle worker! How cool to see a Jazz game from a suite and next to the prophet! Have you been able to find a good office to work in?
