a Fun Saturday

Chris and I went our separate ways for the better part of today.  He went to go play airsoft with a bunch of guys at Orange Gorillas (also the home of one of our pastor's relatives).

Chris had a great time, as always, and also ended up getting a little wet today - not on purpose.  You can see that his pants are a little wet...

(the games never come without battle scars - a bad one on his chest and if you look close, you can see a bump on the side of his forehead)
While Chris was having fun running around shooting people in the woods, I ran some errands and went in search of some items at the thrift store.  (Since being on Pinterest, I've been wanting to do a few projects.)  I came away with the following...


A couple candlesticks that I will probably paint, either to use as candlesticks in the dining room or to use for another decor project.  A cheap mason jar to use for decorating or for use in making a soap dispenser.  And a cool glass piece - I don't know it's original intention but I'm going to use it as a candle holder.

It was my first trip to Goodwill and Salvation Army here in Peoria, but it was good.  It probably won't be my last visit either :) I almost came away with a pair of shoes too but they ended up not working out. 

Now it's time to start dinner so we can watch Something Borrowed tonight!  Hooray for chick flick nights ;)
