Rompin'

Kris and i went out to the Desert on Saturday 

to do some rompin'.

We went with my sister Kindra, her husband Rich and their son Andrew!

We had a blast. 

It was perfect weather.

Anddd it was especially fun because we went on new trails that went from

box canyon/florence all the way to Superior!! We did a total of 40 miles.

On our way out.

Kindra and Rich just bought this jeep, so they are our new

rompin buddies!

Andrew rode with us for a little bit! 

Such a stud.

Stopped for a break.

 After a loooonnnggg bumpy ride.. we finally saw Superior!!

We decided to grab some lunch!

Kris and i took them to go see this mining area that has what is called Apache Tears rocks. They are super neat rocks. The story behind them is the cowboys took over the Apache land so the apache threw themselves off the cliffs behind Superior. {horribly sad}
But the rocks are way cool because they are pitch black rocks but when you
put them up to light to can see threw them!

 Andrew lOvEd finding the rocks. but what boy wouldn't??

haha he had about 30 rocks in his little jacket pocket.

 Finally on our way home after being out for 7 hours.

Projects.

So this week i decided i was finally gonna start making our home a home.

We have been so busy working, settling in, celebrating the holidays/birthdays, and dealing with Diesel 

that i haven't had any time to decorate!

So.... i had to start somewhere. 

I started by doing a few projects this weekend

Yes i know. i didn't take the easiest route of decorating but i knew it would be worth it. 

So instead of spending $200-$300 on Nightstands, i decided to do this instead.

I spent $11.12 on paint, $3 on a paintbrush, and $16 on the new knobs!

Kris had 2 old nightstands that his parents gave him when he moved out.

i did a little revamp.

I cleaned them up and sanded them both down.

Before

Diesel was my little mischievous helper.

 The top was all messed up so i had to sand it multiple times to finally get it to a smooth surface.

 After  :)

I love the knobs i found.

My favorite part of this whole project was the fact that Kris kept repeatedly saying

"Those look sooooo good babe. Your awesome."

haha 

For my first somewhat big project i think it turned out pretty good!

Here is my other project i did.

It is gonna be for our bedroom. 

So instead of spending $25 for 2 shelves, i spent $10.

{love Hobby Lobby sales}

Before

After

I was super happy with what i have done so far! 

Cant wait to do some more!
