diy mania.
So I guess I've fallen off the blogging bandwagon again. Good thing my amazing husband likes to blog so you have some fresh content every now and again. He's been bugging and bugging me to post about the bed I built for us (not without some help from my sweet Grandpa). When I say I built it I don't mean I upholstered it. I mean I figured out all the measurements, went to home depot, had them cut a boat load of wood for me, screwed and glued my heart out until I couldn't do anymore, my Grandpa drilled his heart out helping me put it together, covered everything in foam, batting, and fabric, staple-gunned my heart out, added some nailhead trim one-at-a-painful-time, got it in my room (no small feat), hung the headboard and placed the bedframe, and voila! Done! How's that for a run on sentence? Anyways, I've been nesting quite a bit around here so eventually I'll post real, non-instagram photos of my room and maybe some of the rest of my house if I can get it clean enough. For now, here's a little sneak peak.

Its My Turn
Candace and I take turns watching Reed in the morning on the weekend so the other can sleep in. Today is Candace's day to sleep in and I sleep in on Sundays. Watching Reed these days is a lot different than what it used to be...
A lot is going on these days to keep us busy, but nothing super eventful. Work has me traveling more (Chicago & Dallas) and working long hours. I was released from the Elders Quorum Presidency and called as the Gospel Doctrine teacher, something I'm really excited about. Oh, one exciting thing is Candace and I are headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to deep sea fish and hang out with my boss and CEO. All expenses paid, how cool is that!?!
Cbug has been bitten by the "home improvement" bug. You wouldn't believe it but just a few weeks ago she went down to Home Depot, had the guy down there cut some 2x4s, and she built an extravagant BED! She did it in a weekend with the help of her grandpa Free. It has a lot of unique design details and I keep telling her she needs to write on the blog about it. She's also been painting walls, creating art for our home, and buying furniture. She and the baby girl are doing well.
RooBear is doing great. He's into watching videos on YouTube, particularly those including Elmo, garbage trucks, tractors, motorcycles, or fish! If he's done paying attention to a video, he'll put his face right in front of mine and shake his head "NO". He loves playing with his tractors, checking the mail, throwing things in the garbage, and ESPECIALLY loves talking to his Grandparents through web chats. While Cbug hosted a baby shower for her friend Chelsea, I took Roo, Tim and my nephews Nolan and Kyle fishing. I thought Reed would love it since we were actually catching fish, but he was more interested in playing at the nearby park. The closest he came to paying attention to the fish was throwing his water bottle into the pond twice and throwing my fishing pliars into the pond twice.
My little brother Taylor is waiting for his mission call. We're going to miss him TONS but at least we can continue watching his videos on YouTube.
Hope you are well! Here's a photo from our Christmas card:
