Update on life & Date Night!

Man I suck at updating our blog... We don't really do super big things all the time that deserve a blog update. Ok I lied, I did go to the Heritage Festival with my band but I can't show those pictures :( Sad.

On April 10th my coworker and I took 65 students and chaperones to Anaheim, CA for fun at the beach, performance at Fullerton College and a day at Disneyland. Crazy but we pulled it off!!
I do have one picture!

Haha! Sadly the rest of my pictures do have my students in them and I can't post them on my blog. I had a really good group and we rode all the scary rides that Disneyland had to offer! My band ended up getting bronze, one point away from silver. I think they did fantastic since they preformed at 9 pm (10 pm Utah time) and they are little ones... 5th-7th grade.

Luckily the week after was our spring break! I was able to recover from the trip and spend some time sewing while Justin was at work... Oh yeah.. Ps... Justin is finally working full time at the hospital and was able to quit the inspection companies! Thank goodness!! It will be much better for our family :)

I found a couple of blog posts about upcycling men's shirts into women's shirts and decided to take a go at it. I took a mans button down shirt and turned it into a blouse. It's almost done; I just need to sew or iron the buttons closed.

I cut off the collar and realized that I cut to far (as you can see with my black tank top sticking out). I shortened the sleeves and tailored the sleeves and the shoulders to fit better. I sewed elastic around the collar and used bias tape around the exposed edges. I also added elastic under the bust to cinch it in. 

Not horrible for my first go. Still need an undershirt under it to keep from showing too much shoulder and I still need to bring in around the shoulder a touch.. but all over a great project for a day!

This week my coworker and I did our music festival to show off our instruments that are currently up for auction. Ps they are still open to bid on till May 1st! Check them out and spread the word around.

Here it is... Click it!!

But after this crazy crazy week.. I needed some time away from the house and more than just dinner! 

So we did dinner and a round of bowling... since that's all there is in Cedar.

We ate at our favorite place, Centros!! Amazing pizza place! And all I got was a picture of Justin eating our favorite salad before the pizza :) 

Haha I didn't realize it, but Justin looks so thrilled to have his picture taken.

Oh look we tied! And we suck! 

They have a few arcade games there and I wanted to play the basketball one with Justin. Totally kicked his trash!

Yay I got a whole 30 points. 

And Justin got 17

We ended the night with ice cream and two very tired looking people :) 

Oh and PS we are going on a cruise to Mexico in June! Yay!! Let the count down begin
