May Craziness :)

May = craziness this year! 
It's all good craziness though :)

Danielle graduates 3 weeks from today! She is stressed to the max at the moment w/ her upcoming AP tests.
Ben is performing in "Thoroughly Modern Millie" every Friday, Saturday and Monday night until June 2nd. He and the cast are doing a great job! It's a cute musical with some very engaging characters.
Heather was let go from her job last week and is looking for a new job. Her and Danielle just got an apartment.It's close to our house :) It's a 2 bdrm. / 2 bth. for under $600.00! Good location too. Dani will move in on June 1st. Heather moves in this weekend.

A month from now it will be just Ben at home with us ~ 

This month is also full of training for Dani and Ben as they prepare for their Phillipines mission trip the first part of June. I'm so excited to see how God uses this trip to shape their lives!

I meet with my trainer on Wednesdays now. Today will be the first day back in almost 3 weeks. He was gone then my schedule was crazy.
I'm down 8 pounds ~ I'm going to try really hard to get back in the gym on a regular basis.

DJ got his motorcycle running finally and boy is he a happy camper!

This past year has found me dreaming about a rustic farm table I found in my Pottery Barn Dining Room book.
Today I finally went to Lowes and bought the wood to make the table top. I still need to buy the wood for the legs.
I'm going to give it my best shot and we'll see what I come up with!


"The" table of my dreams :) Thank you Pottery Barn for the inspiration ~
I'm staining the table in the same shade as the one in the picture. I'm also spray painting our chairs white and recovering them with more neutral fabric. We acquired an old (as in 100 yrs. old) church pew and it will be seating on one side of the table. Did I mention the pew is 10 feet long? The table will be 8 feet long.
Having a hard time picturing all of this? I will share pictures when it's done!

p.s. I would just move into the above kitchen if I could :) love. love. love.


Below are pictures of Ben at last weeks track meet ~



High Jump ~ He cleared 4' 8". I believe only 1 kid cleared higher than him.












I just LOVE this kid :) He makes my heart happy!
