THE OFFICE...

Regan and I have a room in our basement that is suppose to be our office. It started out with all the right things. 2 x 4's, electicity,drywall, texture, paint, trim, and carpet. Thats right... Until you realize there is a BIG problem. I installed the light and light switch.... Cool it works.

Well now that, that's done I installed all the plugs. Wow this electric thing is easy! So exciting lets plug in the vacuum and get this show on the road. Why doesn't the vacuum work?

Well I had a friend come and look at the plugs to make sure I installed them right. Ok they are installed right, so whats the prob? The electritian left the wires hanging and the drywall guy drywalled over the wires that are not connected to anything!!!! They said I would have to knock a hole in the wall that I had faux finished to look like sueade. (its Regans cowboy room :) That's not going to happen. So with out plugs it has turned into a PILE IT ROOM. Pile it here, pile it there.

Well it's been _ years (i don't even want to say it) . And we are both so tired of it. So we are getting everything together. The last couple of weeks we have been building shelves and can racks for our utlity closet off the "office". It feels so good to get things organized, we still have a ways to go, but I think we will turn this room into an office, real soon.

We have a Chair to re-upholster in a faux leather, Ill be doing that at the shop, fun. However we still have the electricity thing to address, the original electritian moved, he was in my ward, so I guess we will have to hire someone to come fix the prob. I've talked to a few and they say they can do it without knocking a hole in my wall. When the project is finished I will post a picture of the finished "OFFICE".

How Fortunate We Are...

This Is What I Do...

My away from home job Monday - Friday,
I am lucky enough to be able to work with my dad, We have an upholstery business and one of things that we do is the interiors of high performance boats. One of my responsibilities are to do the computer graphic designs, and the patterns for the graphics on these boats. (I take the graphic on the side of the boat and duplicate it into our pattern program on the computer). This week I got my first cover on a boating magazine (one of the boats I did the graphics on), however the cover and the article isn't all about me(and that's fine by me) its about the company that builds the boat, Hallett Boats. Any way its kinda exciting :)
The engine cover on the back of the boat is the graphic done on this boat... We do it in vinyls and it gets pieced together like a quilt. It kinda a cool thing to do for work :)

I have an AWESOME family...

My husband and daughters did some planning and put togther a little birthday bash for my 30th (he he he) birthday. This is the LOVELY invitation they sent out... Got to love it.

Lots of family and good friends came by last Saturday.

My sweet sisters in Maryland and Missisippi (along with their families) sent some beautiful flowers. Very spring time for the winter wonderland we are in right now. Thank You So Much!

My children (some had a little help from Regan) bought me this cute little purse.I love Giraffes, there is a story I won't bore you with it. But they have a sweet spot in my heart! (and I love Dooney & Bourke)... Thanks to all that showed me so much love and friendship. All my daughters were here to celebrate with me and that made my day! Thanks Babe and our Girlys I love you so much!!!!
