A Pictoral Rendition of Shed "Renovation"

It's time for another house-related blog post. Last weekend, we finally finished the outside of our shed. Instead of my wordy narrative, I'm just going to post pictures in succession showing how it went... :) These photos are from February 2011 up until June 2011.


























AND... TA-DA...!!!


I helped with this a lot! I may not be in any photos, but I was hard at work as well! It's kind of hard to take photos of yourself painting with oil paint or hitting a nasty, old carport with a crowbar like at the batting range.

Next steps? Adding a privacy fence; buying either Colonial Red, Cobalt Blue, or Hunter Green metal roof for the top; prepping the soil around shed with topsoil; landscaping; and potentially painting the shed door a fun color! Phew! This is good for now.

SURPRISE! Your honeymoon may not be what you were anticipating.

We booked our honeymoon through a timeshare that my fiance's parents graciously gave to us. We were very excited, as this is probably the only thing on our budget that we were able to book cheaper than anticipated (thanks to the timeshare help from his parents).

We booked a room at the Moon Palace Resort Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Here is a photo of what we anticipate our room looking like:

We were originally told that the resort would be changing over to a Hard Rock Hotel the week after we leave. A few weeks after we booked our stay, we received notice that the Resort had already been switched over. Here is a photo of what most of the rooms look like now:

My fiance paid off the honeymoon today, so we will see what we end up with. I'm not too sure how I feel about the serenity of black walls for our honeymoon suite.
