Company!!

Yesterday was a fun day. In the morning Mike and I (although Mainly Mike) refinished a sofa table. His boss had given him this sofa table for free but it didnt match anything we have. So we decided to refinish it.
This is what the table started out looking like.

Then we started the long process of sanding it down. The next step was applying the finish.
Here is the backside of the finished product. It now matches our decore better. I told Mike we are never refinishing another peice of furniture again. Next time we will just buy it in the shade we want. It was too much work for me...although once again, Mike did do most of the work. I think it turned out rather nice.
while I was taking pictures if the table... I got sidetracked and had to take a picture of the side walk chalk drawing Mike's Neice did for me. She loves me :-)

Last night my parents, Shelley and her boys came and spent the night on their way back home. It was fun having company over. My guest bedroom does not get used very often.
Today we just hung around at home most the day. Mike got up at 5 AM and ran 21 miles this morning so he was a bit worn out. Then this evening we went out to dinner with Mike's friend Nate and his wife Heidi. It was fun. We dont get to go out with them too often but we have a blast when we do. It was lots of fun.

4th of July

Yesterday was actually a really fun day. The Northern Utah Mustang Owners Association (the club Mike and his family are all a part of) were in the Sandy Parade yesterday. They had cars of all years. Lucky me got to drive Mike's 1994 Mustang Convertible. I hate being the center of attention so it was awkward. Mike drove his 1965 Fastback so he was in the lead... and I was a ways back. Anyways it was a very slow drive with lots of people staring at me, but I survived. We actually bowed out of the parade a little early due to the fact that all of the early year Mustangs were overheating. That was fine with me though because I had had more than enough attention.
After the parade (and after letting the cars cool) we all went to Sizzlers for a late dinner. Mike's sister invited us out to her house to do fireworks, so after dinner we went and put the nice cars away and picked up Molly before heading to his sisters house.
We spent the next few hours watching them light fireworks. They happened to have some *cough* illegal *cough* fireworks that shot up into the sky. well one of them tipped over and started throwing flaming balls in every which direction. It was scary because we didn't know where to run. They were shooting everywhere! One happened to explode on the hood of a truck and left a slight burn mark. It was rather scary.. but was rather funny after the fact. Mike's nephew took a hit but luckily it didn't explode until it bounced off his chest and went the other direction. He had a nice bruise. After that incident we stuck to the Utah Fireworks.
It was a fun night. We didn't get home until after 1 am (which is really late for us). I would have to say that was probably the most entertaining 4Th of July I have had in a while.

This was taken in the staging area before the start of the parade. Mike's 1965 Light Blue Mustang he drove is the first car on the right. I drove the Teal Blue Convertible that is the 2nd car back on the left.

Stress

I am stressing myself out. I just realized that we have a little over two months left to get everything done and in order for the wedding. I still have soo much to do! I still have to find an officiator. I also have to get everything altogether for my wedding dress... and I still have to buy flowers and everything else. The biggest stress is we still have not figured out a honeymoon yet. We both have the time off of work to go on one... but where do we go? we wanted to go back to the New England states but that might be too expensive. We really want to go somewhere that wont be too expensive is actually outside of utah. Let me know if you have any ideas for me!
Anyways I need to get some studying in. I have a test for school tomorrow and I havent studied at all! I am actually tired of school. I am thinking I wont go next semester (mainly because I will be planning a wedding). It will be nice to have a break from weekly tests.
I had a lot more I wanted to say on here, but I dont have time. Off I go to study!!
