malasadas

It is so funny to see the huge smile that comes across Cameron's face when he comes up to this little red and white striped truck.



The smile was probably a combination of his 5 hours of good surf that day and the malasadas.

Beast to the Beauty

3 years ago... I owed my parents some manual labor and so they forced me to learn how to antique furniture. How grateful I am for that! They had a bedroom set that was a "honey" outdated wood look and decided they would let me mess around with their furniture.

I ended up loving it and finished 2 large dressers, a head board, and two nightstand drawers. I wanted to do more but just never got around to it.

Recently... I saw a $10 sturdy, solid wood chair on craigslist and figured I could do a little something with it for fun.

Bought $3 of fabric and gave it a little love...

We had it around our house for a little bit, we really liked it and we were thinking about keeping it but...

I sold it tonight for $40 via craigslist. Sweeeet.

Birthday cakes, candy, and s'mores!

I guess I have been MIA for a month in the blog. We both have been so busy but having lots of fun as we go! We've had midterms (not so much fun), our parents visiting, our calling... we've been some very busy people.



As always, we love it when Shannon and Allan come to visit!


It was Shannon's birthday and it was so fun to celebrate with her!


Cameron and Allan got in some good surf...
We were able to take some time out from our studies to enjoy the island with them.




After the Rondo's left, it was Halloween time!
Cameron and I love our calling and had a great time throwing the Ward Halloween Party!





Once it was finally Halloween day, Cameron and I were pooped! We enjoyed the day going to the beach and then finishing it off with bowling and a bonfire.

The only picture of bowling that we got was me with the cheating ramp.

It worked like a charm.

Steve told some awesome ghost stories to get us in the Halloween mood! "SNAP!"


Cameron & me


We had yummy s'mores and rees'mores (reeses + s'mores) and some other friends joined the bonfire later.


Cameron really enjoyed his burnt marshmallow s'mores. (notice marshmallows on lips)

What a fun Halloween!
