NATS Game

Before heading to San Diego, we decided to venture up to NATS park to watch a double header. Neither one of us had been to a game in D.C. and tickets were really cheap. Definitely a good time to be a Nationals fan since they are doing so well.

Harpers Ferry Picnic

 

This week we decided to take a picnic dinner and go to Harpers Ferry. The weather was beautiful and Flash got some play time. We had a nice picnic and it was actually pretty quiet there. Most of the time on weekends it is really crowded. We will need to remember to go during the week when it is fall peak week.

Waiting for the train to come through. There is a train track right where we were eating that goes through the town. Flash was a little scared and didn’t know what to think.

Jon and Courtney’s Wedding

My best guy friend from my childhood got married in Richmond. I am so excited for Jon and Courtney. Jon and I grew up together since our mom’s both went to college together and wound up living in the same town. Then Jon and I went to JMU together and lived across the street from each other in Harrisonburg. Jon is like the brother I never had, and I am so happy that he found someone as great as Courtney.  We wish them the best of luck and years of happiness! Their wedding was so much fun and it was absolutely beautiful.

Summer Time Trouble Maker

I had to post these pictures because they are so funny. When we got back from New Jersey we picked Flash up from the kennel. He was so tired and mischievous and mad that we left him. We were watching TV and realized that Flash was nowhere to be found. He was on our bed passed out, upside-down! Ridiculous! After that he pouted the whole night.

Grandma Freudenberg’s Surprise Party

2 weeks ago we traveled to New Jersey to Jason’s Aunt Laurie and Uncle Ron’s house for grandma’s surprise party. All of her kids planned the party and it was a huge success. She had no idea that so many people were traveling to see her. I did not take many pictures at the party since Laurie is a photographer and she took tons of amazing pictures, so I must say that I took some of  them from Laurie’s facebook page for my blog.  The pictures and the party turned out great.

House projects

Jason and I had the horrible idea of repainting our foyer. It needed it badly, but boy was that an awful job. Our foyer has 25 foot ceilings and we also has 8 doors to paint and all of the woodwork. Flash was less than thrilled with our idea and he kept wanting to play. He threw his bone off of the first story loft area and it landed in my paint on the basement floor. There was paint everywhere! I think I still have paint in my hair! Flash also got scared of the ladder and when he ran, he ran into the wet wall. There was a flash print on our wall and he had paint all over



We eventually got the painting done, but it was a long and difficult job. We just painted it white to cover up all of the chalky contractor paint. There was no way I was going to attempt painting the 25 foot wall in color. Besides, we have done enough color recently in the living room amd the red kitchen. Now we have the 25 foot ceilings going upstairs to the bedrooms to do. However I don't think I ever want to see a paint can again!






Jason and I decided that it was time to update
the guest bedrooms a little. When we first got married we got the cheapest bed in a bag we could find so that we had something on the beds. They didn't fit that great and they weren't very warm either. So we updated, put some different curtains up and added a few things. They are still in progress, need paint, and some stuff on the wall but we are getting there.



Guest bedrooms are ready for anyone who wants to visit:)

DIY summer projects

This summer I decided to do some DIY projects for the house with some pictures. I did some canvases and also refinished an antique window to use for a picture frame. Still all a work in progress, but i think they turned out pretty good so far.



Black and white canvases.
