My Husband the MAN!

Kory has been busy! He is always looking for a project and with his shed he built he has been saving and buying tools so he can keep building/fixing things. His first big one this year was to redo our bed in our spare bedroom. This was the bed I have had since I was 13 and was a girly, frilly daybed with a trundle. He hated it. He has been wanting to build a new frame for it for quite awhile now and finally set about doing it. I love it! The side part lifts up and the trundle pulls out, pushed together it makes a king bed for our visitors. It has really made the room look much better. He also took an cheap mirror I had and made a chunky frame for it to go on the wall. Also love this! But wait, I'm not done yet. He finished my favorite project just last night. A couple of weeks ago we were wandering D.I. and found a headboard set for $20, we had been discussing getting a less bulky headboard and couldn't pass up the offer. The only problem with this was in getting rid of our old headboard we took away any semblance of a nightstand that we had. I set off to find us some nightstands. I searched every store I could possibly think of buying one. For a cheap one I could get them for $90 a peice, for one that I really liked it was around $200 a peice. Grrr. That wasn't going to work, so I asked Kory if he thought he could build us some. He totally came through! Before the paint!

Finished painting!
In place. Oh, we also got our lamps at D.I. I am probably going to write a poem about D.I. soon. So many treasures we find there.
Finished product!!! I LOVE them!!! They look so good and are better than the ones we were finding at stores. I can't get over my excitement about them!

I am soo happy I married such a talented man. I Love you Kory!!!

The Big DL!

WARNING: Many Pictures Ahead. I couldn't edit!

Thats right people, Disneyland. We got the opportunity to go to Disneyland a couple weeks ago with Kory's parents and younger sister Karli. Aaahhhh, I love Disneyland. What a happy place. Kory's parents and sister had not been there so it was extra exciting to be able to share the excitement with them. We ended up leaving Sunday night and driving all night to get there. Our plans were to spend the first day in Hollywood and L.A. settle in and relax and then get right down to 4 fun packed days at Disneyland.

L.A. was CRAZY! I am pretty sure it is always crazy but whew! Let's just say we were lost more than found. We stopped in Hollywood first to see the hand and footprints and the Kodak theater. It just happened to be the day after one of the award shows so their was red carpets and security everywhere!
I happen to love Doris Day! Classic!

After a trip to the farmers market and the stress of the busy streets we decided to find the L.A. temple and take a walk around. It was magnificent! And the people there were nice!

We got to Anaheim earlier than expected and had some time to kill, Kory's dad insisted to all of our whining we take a trip to Newport beach and look around. It was totally worth it and fun. Not the best picture but I love the sky behind him, that really is Kory in the picture!
The rest of the week was DISNEYLAND!!!!! It was so much fun! We had a couple days of walk ons and two busier days. We mistakenly bought our tickets over Leap Day. It was insane that day, we were literally waddling everywhere we went. I think every local was there! We still made the best of it though we did not stay for the all night event. By the time World of Color got over in California Adventure and we exited to enter Disneyland for a few more rides the lines to get in were so backed up we gave up. We met Pooh Bear, and Tigger too. And...wait for it, you WILL be jealous...Thats the REAL Aladdin people! I know, crazy. Jasmine should be worried he totally had a thing for Karli.Kory with his favorite characters. Unfortunately we didn't have any little kids to disguise Kory's picture as theirs so alas, he waited in line with a bunch of little boys. Ha Ha Ha. It may have been forced by his wife.
The true terror of Hollywood Tower of Terror. I cannot say this is my favorite ride but it was definitely in the top of the lists for Kory and Karli, much to the chagrin of Kory's dad and myself. Toonland was a bit crazy, Kory was stuck by poisonous material, I just barely broke out of jail and Karli crashed into Goofy's mailbox! And for the finale.........We are kissing on a bridge with hearts! Can you get more romantic? Yes, that lady in the background kind of crushed the moment, oh well. We still got cheers from a bunch of teenage girls. :-) This picture was also slightly forced by the wife. We have been home a couple weeks now and I miss it! What a magical place! Until next time Disneyland!
