I know I have been really slacking on blogging lately. I have been really busy with school and trying to finish up my major portfolio for my education class that is due tomorrow night at midnight. However, I have decided that I am in need of a much needed break from working on it, to fill my fellow blogger's in on my life. Of course the best way to update you guys is with pictures and I have plenty to share at the end of the post. This past week
Kelsey, a friend of mine came down to visit her boyfriend, Caleb, who is also stationed here with us. She arrived Wednesday and left on Sunday. She was so excited to be here, because this was the last time she was going to get to she her man before he deployed. Needless to say we had a little to much fun the first night she arrived. Wednesday night we had a little get together at my place and played the game Things, which i love. We all were drinking and having a good time, not knowing how good of a time we were having until the next morning. : ) Here are some picture I took while playing Things.

Now, on to the next subject. If you have been keeping up with my blog you know that I am starting a few projects in my house to make it more appealing. I have officially started on one of these projects. I wanted to re due our kitchen table's chairs because the fabric on them were so nasty and had spills all over them. I went to a fabric store and literally spent 7 bucks on fabric. Cheap and easy. Then when I get home and I unscrew the cushion from the actual metal chair and start to measure how much fabric I need for each, I realize that I might not have gotten enough. Fantastic! But I still wanted to do at least one to see how it turned out. So I start to move forward in the project and get to the point where i need to secure the fabric on to the cushion and realize that I do not have a staple gun!!! I was so angry. Then of course the brilliant person I am decided to just hammer in nails, but not all the way, because it could poke you in the rear when sitting down. So i began to hammer in the nails halfway and bend the rest of it down. It worked, but it was such a pain in the butt. I finished one and I am not doing the rest until I get a staple gun. : ) But here is my ghetto version of our new chairs.

So, i would definitely suggest that when trying to re due your table's chairs make sure you have a staple gun. It will save you time and frustration. : )
