Beaches

I know I'm late with this post, but better late than never right? For our first anniversary, Dustin and I went on a cruise. Days before we left, Daisy ate our memory card for our camera. I had no idea, but our camera uses some obscure memory card that can only be ordered online. We had to resort to using the waterproof disposable for all of our pictures, since we didn't have enough time to order one.

We had a blast in Stingray City in Grand Cayman!

Exactly one week after returning from our cruise, I left for Key Largo with my mother-in-law, Jenny. We had a great time staying with some extremely accommodating friends of hers. What a beautiful place to live! If I had a memory card at that time, I would've taken pictures of the barracuda and the many nurse sharks we saw while kayaking.

Two weeks after that was the annual family trip to Hilton Head Island. We have been going there for years now and it has become our home away from home. This trip was spent playing lots of cornhole on the beach.

I'm sad that this brings beach trips to a close for the year. I guess you never know when the ocean will call, demanding a visit. Perhaps I can squeeze in one more?

My $30 Investment

We are the proud owners of a 1970s era coffee table. I found it on craigslist (my new obsession) and it was perfect in my eyes. Here is the before picture:

I had to put wood putty in this gaping crack on one side of the table.

I really love that in this picture you can see the top of Dustin's head and his Sonic route 44 in his hand. I had asked him to pick it up so that I could take this picture.

I sanded the edges to age it a little and allow for the inevitable damage the dogs and the husband will be inflicting on this poor table.

After tons of sanding, some paint, a little elbow grease, and some love, I'm happy with how it turned out... especially for the price!
