Saturday was a bit of a lazy-ish day, although if you asked Erik he'd say otherwise. We met with E's parents for a delicious breakfast at Los Cucos, then ran home so I could grab my camera and meet my client for their rescheduled photoshoot {they were absolutely amazing by-the-way!}, finally {and this is the best part} when I got home after the shoot, E had cleaned the entire house and it was stunning! He worked his butt off and I appreciate it so so so so much.
Today, we woke up later than expected but neither of us were complaining. I started the morning off by making blueberry muffins and pancakes. I got regular pancakes and E got "gourmet" pancakes {my special recipe *winky face*}. After breakfast we hung out until TEXANS game time! Of course we watched the game at E's parents house but most of the time he and I stayed busy outside. Luckily his parents had the windows open and TV volume up so we could still hear the game. Before I show you what we were doing during the game, I have to say that I truly appreciate my hubby being my "saftey man" while I worked on these projects. He actually let me cut, screw, paint, and put together these pieces {of course we switched on and off, so overall it was 50-50 work}.
So without further ado, here are just a few of the pieces that we were working on...
So this was made from pallets and this was my very first time EVER making anything from wood! I decided to paint it white and add our favorite lyric "Dont worry about the future, or worry but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gun." I tried to keep the colors similar to our livingroom. For my first time, not bad.
Second project was so much easier. I painted it brown, and then added white to make it have a rustic-like feel. I then used my glue-gun to add the "LOVE" banner, which I also made. And it was done! This will hang in our master bedroom.
And finally, {our most proud project of the day}, our crate! We literally made this from pallet boards and has absolutely no assistance from websites. This was measured, cut, screwed, and made by E and I. Mind you, we have NEVER buildt anything from scratch without some sort of guidelines to go off of.
These were just a few, the rest will be posted upon completion. The main reason I made these was to practice for my big DIY project that I'm really looking forward to. I hope it works and looks as good as these did. I mean I'm not saying that these are by any means "spectacular" but for being first time DIY-ers projects, I feel like we did a pretty darn good job!
After the hustle and bustle of the weekend, we stopped at the nearby mall, and grabbed some pre-workout. I'm really looking forward to using this and getting back into shape. Stay tuned because I will be going over my meal and workout plans, as well as what pre-workout I'm using. I will also do a review on this pre-workout! Let's workout together, eat healthier, and get into shape!
Other memorable things from this week...
I made the BEST stew!!! It was so darn good and I love it because I can just pop it in the crockpot before leaving for work and then let it cook throughout the day. When I get home, it's ready to go and dinner is served.
Sad moment of the week, my bubble-necklace broke! I was just sitting at my desk and next thing I know it's broken. So sad!!!
Here's my necklace before breaking...*sigh*
Well wishes and God Bless
