Bear food

So we went camping with our ward last weekend.  It was fun for the most part. The night was awful though.  It was FREEZING! If I had realized how cold it was gonna be I would have brought better clothes.  I'm just lucky I brought long pants.  Poor Sariah though couldn't handle it.  She wouldn't sleep unless she was being held so she could suck the body heat from me, so I held her all night.  Didn't sleep much but I got enough.  I think really the worst part for me was our ride wanted to go on a hike so we were stuck at the campsite until after one, so half of our day was gone.  I wanted to be productive!  Our apt is in the process of being dejunked so it was a mess and I just wanted to get home to start dejunking.  Sam and I ended up staying up super later working on it.  We finished our bedroom on Tuesday though.  Still working on the rest of the place.


We got a new piano!
Sam has always wanted an upright and he found one at the DI that he really wanted.  It has some work, but I do like it.  Now we need to sell our other piano! Any takers?

I will be slightly sad to see it go but I never really played it.  I was always scared our neighbors would get mad (happened before in a different apt. Girl chewed us out for playing too much).  The new piano has a damper on it that works pretty well so it's easier to play without fear.

Other news? I'm making a wreath for our door! I'm mostly excited because I'm making it so that I can change the decorations on it for each holiday/season without changing the actual wreath itself.  It's letting my creative juices flowing.  I'm starting to realize that I am more creative/artistic when I can think of functional things to make in an artistic way.  So for example this wreath I get to make all the decorations for it in one wreath.  I think if I were to make a wreath for every season/holiday I would get bored after the first one, cuz you don't really need a wreath for everything.  But now that I've figured out to make a decoration for the wreath for everything I'm way more excited about it.  I will post pictures as soon as I get it done!  Another nice thing about it is I don't have to make all the decorations for each holiday at once.  That way I have more projects to do later for it and it's not overwhelming right now.  I'm going to do fall, halloween and thanksgiving for the first ones.  And go from there as Christmas gets closer.  Another great thing is if I get bored with, let's say the halloween decoration, I can change it in a couple years to something new!

Anyways, I'm gonna go work on my wreath!
