Getting Things Done

This past weekend was a productive one! We started off Saturday becoming an official married couple and adding me to Nelson's bank account. Better hurry up and shop before I have to move all my money over :) That afternoon, Beth and I did one of those BYOB painting classes. I signed us up for the class as Beth's birthday present, and we had so much fun painting poppies and drinking margaritas in our matching aprons!


If you haven't heard of these classes before (although they're becoming quite popular), an art teacher stands in the front and teaches you how to paint a picture within 5 or 6 steps. Different classes do different pictures, but here is the evolution of mine:






And our finished paintings!


I've realized I can't do curved lines very well, I like them straight. So we signed up to do an Austin themed one in March - less curves :) Nelson and I also spent Saturday cleaning house.


I have such a helpful husband :) On Sunday, we worked on furnishing our house! We looked at TV consoles, coffee tables, and bedroom furniture.  We looked at a lot of different places and I took a lot of pictures so we would remember what we liked. When we get everything in, I'll be sure to share some pictures!

I had Sunday off for President's Day and Nelson didn't, so I spent the day with my next favorite guy - Jackson!!! Lindsay was so nice to let me come over and hold him for six hours... Yes, I think I calculated it was six hours. My mom came over, too, and Abby stopped by for a bit. We all had fun visiting, looking and talking about Jackson, and helping Lindsay make his birth announcement. As for what Jackson did most of the day, well, you can see.
