Guest Bedroom

By John On May 10, 2011 · 4 Comments

Amanda and I have been in the spring cleaning/remodeling spirit for the past couple of weeks and this last weekend we decided to tackle the bedroom in our basement. The walls are wood paneling and the whole feeling down in the basement was kind of cold, dark, and dingy. Last summer, Amanda’s sister lived with [...]

Married

So John and I will soon be sending invites!  Also, a family friend has offered to make us wine for the reception, so John’s designing custom labels.  Besides that, not too much has happened.  I pick up my dress on April 1st…
