Playing Catch Up

My adorable little niece turned 3 years old on August 11th! She is such a cute girly! She had a Phineas and Ferb birthday party, (but sadly Shane and I missed it because of work.) We gave her a guitar that looks like a dog, it's pretty much awesome and I may or may not have played with it a lot before giving it to her.

Last week I'd been having a rough day, and when I got home from work I found my husband with some Diet Coke, movie tickets, and flowers! Isn't he the greatest? We saw Step Up 4, (something I'd been wanting to see for a while.) It was exactly what is expected of a 4th movie - bad acting and crap story line. HOWEVER, it's worth seeing just for the dancing, which is incredible!

Shane and I both work between 55 and 60 hours a week, and it blows! We were so spoiled when we first got married! We made great money and never worked nights or weekends, but things have changed now and sadly, we only get 2-3 nights a week together. So when we do have a night off we like to go on dates! Usually they consist of dinner at Sizzler and a movie. It's not much, but it's enough for us. (And the food at Sizzler is the best! Shane always gets the steak and endless and shrimp, while I get grilled salmon and rice. It's an amazing meal, especially for the price!!)

Shane and I love art and colors, so the other day we bought some canvases, painter's tape, and paint. We painted some awesome pictures to hang once we're in our new place. Unfortunately, the only picture I have of them right now is while we were painting them. I will post a picture of the finished products once I take one.

We get bored of the same things fast, so over the weekend we moved our family room to the bedroom and bedroom to the family room. It's awesome and we figured, why not?? If we don't do it now, we never will!
