Finito!

Before... During....
(No wallpaper! yay!)

After!
For some reason the color looks familiar.... can't quite put my finger on it....

Oh yeah... that's right....


I don't know how Matt pulled this one over on me! I thought we had compromised on this pretty muted teal color that was still nuetral-ish for future purposes. I even went with him to pick it out but once it got up on the walls, man! It is definitely Miami teal! haha. But surprisingly, I completely LOVE IT. This room has a window to the East, so it gets a ton of light during the day, and it makes the color a lot lighter. The after pic I took was after the sun had gone down, so it does usually look a little paler. (If I use the word pretty Matt will demand to repaint, so I will restrain myself) It will be so cute one day for a nursery (One day, I said. Sorry it felt too mean to leave the last post up, in case any one was wondering. haha) But it's also totally appropriate for the man cave now, since you know, it matches all the Miami stuff. hahaha.

So ten points to Matthew for kicking trash and getting this done this weekend. The plan was for Matt to take the border down while I was at work Friday, and we'd paint the room together Saturday. When I called on my home from work Saturday, Matt was already on to the second layer of paint. Hooray!!! So I came home to it being almost finished (Maybe he took the paint we bought and replaced it while I was at work? hmmm....) So thanks hubbs! You are the best and the room really does look great.

Updates

Life is so crazy. And the craziness never stops. haha. I guess I am slacking on the blogging front because of this, but what can ya do. I guess I could talk Matt into becoming the family yacker. haha. ... I'll work on that.
Well, Matt has officially started school as of last monday- yay! That is music to my ears for sure. I also started school this week. Plus we are primary teachers again. (like I said, the craziness never stops!) Hooray!! We weren't told what age though... so I guess we're in for a surprise when we show up for class. But we are loving our new ward so much. The difference between our new ward and our past two is unreal. I don't know what we would have done lately without the support of our new neighbors and friends. So there's my shout out to our ward. I don't think anyone from the ward reads our blog, but hey, just so it's out there! You guys are the best.
I think I mentioned it in a previous post, but when we took our family photos it got dark in the middle of our shoot. So the end of our photos were all too dark. Our photographer -who is so great- offered to retake our couples photos for free since that is what we did last. So here are some more corny/fun pictures for your enjoyment...

Yoga!
We had a great time with the Arizona clan this past weekend, and wanted to give Brad, Claire, Sadie, Drew and Brinlee a shout out and big thank you again for having us! You were all great hosts and we had so much fun. We wish we could have stayed longer, and enjoyed the 65 degree weather and the fun company maybe just a week or two longer. haha (just kidding!) But thanks again, and we hope we are able to come see you soon. -Only probably not between the months of April and September...


Here are some more fun pics...And here are some masterpieces taken by Sadie :)
