Productivity!

Lately Jared and I have been being so productive! We sold our hot tub that we never use...those things are WAY more expensive to run then I ever would have thought! We finally sold some Ikea chairs that we had, which were never even taken out of the box, but since we lost the receipt they wouldn't take back...Come on Ikea - your boxes don't really look like anyone elses, pretty sure you knew they were your chairs at least give us store credit! RUDE. We are painting the basement to move our guest room down there, we re-did our deck with the help of my dad and now have a fire-pit (thanks Mom and Herm) and a table so we can actually enjoy our yard!

Jared and I have also been feeling like we need to get involved at church or in our community more, we have been looking at a few different options and we are happy to say that we just decided we are going to be Young Life leaders at Hudsonville High School! We are really excited about it and can't wait to get started!

This weekend we had a bunch of friends over Friday night to play volleyball, hang out, and enjoy our new deck with us. It was a lot of fun! Jared and I were talking about it and feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives, we have a great group of friends, wonderful families, and we are so happy to be married. It is refreshing to be around other people who love their spouses too. We had a family re-union this weekend with one side of Jared's family and I was sitting there talking with two of his cousins and we just talked about how awesome our hubby's are! It was great! A lot of times I think people try to win with "the best" story, like they always have to top you, and it is usually negative - whether you are talking about your spouse or anything, but we were all just talking about how wonderful they were and no one was trying to up one another, we all just felt truly happy and blessed.

Well, I am hoping our productivity continues! Our good friend from Washington is coming to visit this week with her daughter - we are so excited!

I just love flash mobs so here is one of my favorites!
