MY HUSBAND ROCKS!!

So this past week we found a queen mattress on sale to go into our guest bedroom. Mom and i picked it up in Kimmel's old truck and the inspiration began! Kimmel's creative building juices began to flow, and before i knew it he was gone to home depot, cut and nailing things together and we had a new AWESOME bed!


Monday morning he emailed me to ask me to give him the measurements of the mattress, so did and emailed them back to him. When he got home i was still teaching piano. He says i am going to home depot be right back...i am like dinner is on and how long will you be? He gets back a lil after 7 by 11 that night the frame is in the room and just the head board slats are left! Tuesday evening he cut all the slats for the top and bottom and we nailed them on. All that is left is paint....now what color????


He designed this all by himself! He wanted something simple and awesome looking! He did it! SO PROUD! :) Its fun doing all these different projects together, and watching him take off with his own. Looking forward to the next thing!

He's a stud. That's good stuff that I could never do.

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

week not planned

-
This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas

This past weekend Kimmel's mom's side of the family got together to spend some christmas time together. His grandmother rented out this really sweet quaint cabin near lake Whitney. His uncle's family came in from Houston area which is fun cause we don't get to see them often. Everyone loved on lil Eleanor and all her cuteness. We took a walk down to the lake to check it out. As you can see its not a swimming hole but more of a tree spot. Got this fun picture of kimmel's rock he skipped :) And tried to take a picture of us with the timer... We had fun, exchanged gifts, ate great food and talked and laughed about their lives. Let the holiday's begin!! No more school for Kimmel...2 weeks of rest! :)
