#62 - Something new

This is my brand new Kindle (3rd generation)!

I received it as a birthday gift from my husband. He gave it to me the Friday before my birthday and before it was even my birthday, I had already read 2 books! :) I love it and I keep finding more and more things to put on it.

This is a wonderful invention. I'm so glad my husband is so thoughtful!

#53 - Oooo, you're my best friend

This is an oldie but a goody. This is a photo of my husband and I about 4 years ago. He's my best friend and I just love this photo. We were on a dinner cruise on Lake Superior for my 21st birthday that year. I hope you enjoy this blast from the past.

#30 - Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

I thought I would share my diamonds. I don't have many, just these two pieces. The rings are my engagement and wedding rings. I picked them out. The necklace was my Christmas gift this past year from Ed. He put them in my stocking along with a letter from Santa. It explained why I deserved coal. Then, there was a post-it from Santa saying he accidentally sat on the coal in the sleigh and created the diamonds.

I love them!

#8 - Finished Arbor

Ed finished the swing project. He was able to put 2 coats of paint on and it dried beautifully. He even hung it by himself. If it wasn't so hot (95 degrees) I would be out swinging.

Now we just have to figure out how to keep the neighbor kids off of it... (there are probably 15+ kids just our corner of the neighborhood).

#6 - Swinging in the rain...

We have a beautiful arbor in our yard that was built by my dad and brother, and was used in our wedding last year. My dad made it nice and big so it could support a swing. Well, he bought us a swing about 6 weeks ago. It needed to be painted though, before it can be put outside in the elements. Here is a photo of my husband painting our new swing tonight. He told me this morning to pick up some paint because he wanted to paint...

This crafty man of mine found a way to suspend the swing in the garage. Oh... he could have disassembled the swing first (which is recommended) but where is the fun in that?? I will have to post photos of the finished project when it's swinging in the arbor.

#5 - Early Birthday

My husband received a package in the mail on Monday. He was kind of quiet about it. I asked him to open it and apparently it was an early birthday gift for me (my birthday is 9/29). This is the gift he got me.

It's a Jared Allen jersey. He's a defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings. (The color didn't photograph well. It's suppose to be purple.) He's a sacking machine and my favorite player! I'm excited to wear this every Sunday. I'm so glad Ed got this for me. I love football (he doesn't like any type of sports... but he will watch the Superbowl). I'm also excited to wear it next weekend for my first ever Fantasy Football draft!

#1 - Fair Fun

Here is my first photo of this challenge. Yesterday I went to a local county fair and we found a little kiosk that did temporary tattoos. My friends and I decided to each get one. So, I got this. My husband's nickname is Ed, so I thought it was fitting. He found it funny and amusing. (If you're wondering, it's on my upper arm).
