Busy weekend

Ok so I finally took some pictures of the house, or so I thought, but now I can't find them so I'll still have to post those another day. We had a fun busy weekend. Our first project we have undertaken on the house is to build shelves for one of the storage rooms. We turned our basement into a wood shop and got started.It started off rather slow as we tried to figure out exactly how we were going to build them. It also took multiple trips to Lowes before we seemed to have everything we needed. This picture turned out kind of funny colored but I had to put in the proof that I was helping too. I was drilling and then screwing the legs together for the shelves. I'm wearing Monty's gun range ear muffs because I decieded I didn't like all the sawing, drilling, and banging noises. I also nailed the shelves into place. I'm not the biggest handi-woman there is so I was pretty proud of myself for operating power tools.
We didn't get the shelves finished but we got a good start. Hopefully now that we know a little more what we're doing it will go a little faster.

After we cleaned up we headed down to Salt Lake to watch Real Salt Lake. Its the major league soccer team here. The weather was great and it was a lot of fun to just go and relax. We played Houston and it ended up being a tie, but hey at least we didn't lose.










It was Leo the Lion's Birthday (he's the mascot) so at half time they had a soccer game with a bunch of the local mascots from several area universities and some of the other sports teams. You can't see real well in the picture but it was rather funny to watch. Plus it was good to see Big Blue again. He's the mascot from Utah State. I think we'll always be Aggies.
