We re- did our couch!!!

So Nick and I just re- upholstered our couch. This was a huge project, but it was totally worth all of the hard effort we put into it. This is what the couch used to look like.... and then the final piece....after a LOT of sewing and building. I sewed all of the pillows, cushions, and actual fabric that is covering the couch. Nick built the ottoman, and did all of the stapling of the fabric, and putting all of the couch pieces together. We made a great team, and it was a lot of work, about 3 weeks of work, but it was worth it!!!!

Hey so i am so sorry that i truly am bad at writing new post all the time. BUT i am writing one now!! So school has started and i am running around like crazy but i am loving it of course. I started the dance major classes this semester and i am so excited to be doing this major, i am having such a great experience. I am taking dance history which is very entertaining and educational. I have actually come to know who Mia Michaels, Brian Friedman, and Wade Robson are. I only had heard of the last name prior to this class. If anyone knew these and thinks i am crazy for not knowing, i know, i know, i was way out of the loop. My teacher would say things in class, like, .... blah, blah, blah... Mia Michaels choreography....blah, blah... and they says well we all know who Mia Michaels is so i don't need to go into that... and that is when it hit me that i didn't know very much about choreographers and dancers today or in history!! So for those of you who don't know Mia Michaels she was ( and maybe still is i don't know cuz i don't get any channels on my TV) a judge for so you think you can dance...
she is on the far right....




YeAh!! I had no clue. Anyway school is going good and i am having a great time. I am in adv. clogging and it is kickin' my butt. I really like my teacher though he is amazing....I found this video of him on you tube clogging and it was posted about a year ago.... I know i figured once you hit you tube you are like famous right??He is the taller one...

Then i am taking ballet, and Jazz. Both of which i love. Ballet is good for me, I am learning all the good technique i should have learned forever ago... So nick is doing well too, he is workin' hard with about a 40-45 hour work week and going to school full time! He is mostly taking generals right now, but he does it all at night time so that he can work during the day. He is gone almost every night now for school, except fridays!! I love my fridays now and i really do cherish them, it is valuable Nick and me time because we are both so busy... Well anyways everything is going ok and we are just super busy. I am working a few jobs this school year. I still work at the dental office assisting on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and then painting for the scenic painting drama department at school the next play is gonna be good. It is called burdens of the earth and it is about Joseph Smith in the liberty jail. A must see if you are up here at school. Then i am also doing the waitress thing on the weekends. Which is going AMAZING!!! the past three Saturdays I have made a hundred dollars each night. It is such a blessing for us right now, because being in school the money is short:) Well ill try to be better at posting on this. Peace out!!
