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 ;)

my new project

Well, I took my PE exam last Friday. I'm so glad it's done and over! I feel like it went pretty well. The afternoon was a blur because it seemed like the problems were taking longer for me. I had to just guess on a few of the afternoon questions since I ran out of time. We'll see what happens. I'll find out my results in 2 or 3 months!

Since Friday I've enjoyed having some time to relax and enjoy doing some crafts again. This week I started a new project - it's a wreath for springtime! (I know I'm a little behind the game on this one, but I still wanted to do it :) Click here for the link to the instructions.

I still have a ways to go but I can't wait until I can hang this on our front door :)

Have an enjoyable weekend!
