He proved me wrong again!!!

Well we have been doing projects in our house since we moved in...carpet, painting, and of course decorating. It has been going slow, but fun! One project has been our front room, it has a fire place which i love, but it was kind of an eye sore instead of something to center your room around. Of course we can't afford to just have someone come fix it for us so I was fine with waiting. But Jason on the other hand...when he wants something done he gets it done it's like he can't think about anything else besides his new project! He told me he would build one i thought ya right. Well he did and it looks great! Now for the hole above it. Jason is working on making doors to cover it so we can put a tv in there but not always have it out in the open. We want to be able to decorate the mantel so Jason is being creative and going to make doors that look good and work!

Super cute! It is so classy, what a transformation. What about next Wednesday then? Do you want to come over and have a BBQ or go somewhere to dine? I get off about 3, so whenever, just let me know!

Wow, that looks so good! Nice job Jason. Don't you hate it when they prove us wrong? Oh well, it looks really nice.

I vote Olive Garden. I haven't had it forever! Well, at least not for a couple weeks...unless you want one of the other ones. I totally don't care!! But DEFINITELY bring Reddek! I"ve been dying to see him!

That looks so great! That's cool Jason can build those projects. It's amazing what one thing can do to make your home feel so different!

michael. mindy. dane. said...

Yeah that one is closest. Sounds good! See you Monday, I'm excited!!

Don't you just love having a handy husband?! The only draw back is that if he's able to do a project but doesn't have time to do it, you're not allowed to hire someone else to do it! Oh, and you're not allowed to complain if you don't like how something turns out -- not that you'd want to in this case. Your mantle looks awesome! Good luck getting those cupboard doors. Hopefully Jason doesn't make you wait too long. :)

Let's plan on Wednesday. Let's just have a BBQ. You don't have to bring anything unless you want to bring a side. What kind of meat do you like? Bryson likes steak and brats (gross) and I like steak and chicken and Brex likes chicken or hotdogs. I might be going down south this weekend, so I could get some turkey too. (Or veggie burgers?) Anyway, let me know what you guys like. I don't even remember the last time I saw you guys. I can't wait to meet Reddek, Brex will be so excited! Do you know anyone else from high school in the area that might what to come?

What Jason did that!!!?? I am impressed i Thought his best life long skill learned would be waxing the floor or cleaning out a swamp cooler, like mine is still being basically a janitor around our house. but the fire place rocks good job jason you got skills!!! do you have num-chuck skills too? (napolian dynamight get it?)lol

burg3g said...

Wow, do you rent him out!

Matt and Stephanie said...

Can I just say that the fire place looks amazing! Natalie got married in May and she and her husband now live in Ogden. So no more Las Vegas for her.

michael. mindy. dane. said...

Yeah 12:30 is fine. that will probably actually be better. see you tomorrow!!
