♥Its a Wonderful Life♥: A Productive Weekend!

Aaron and I had a great weekend. After work on friday -we headed out in the Cobra for a beautiful night of top down drivin! We headed up north to Mt. vernon and checked out a sterio store. Aaron was looking for a new sub, as the one we just had bought of ebay blew this past week. We decided this time we better invest in a new one and skip ebay. We didn't find a great deal there so we then headed back south and went to everett. We went into car toys-boy..do they know there stuff. This guy totally took over came out and looked at our system and knew exactly what to recomend. The best one was about 250.00. I wasn't to excited to spend that much, seeing as though we had just bought one weeks prior. But it was the best bang for the buck, so I gave in. The guy went back to get it from the stock room and was ringing us up..then then says " I have a surprise for you" What? This is weird, he replied...This must have been a clearance item and it's the only one we have It rings up as 130. Woah! I was so thrilled. We saved over a 100$ I was so thankful we made the trek back to everett to find a better deal. We had planned on going out for dinner..and we tried for outback but the wait was to long. We were starving and decided to head to olive garden..on the way we passed arbys and both of us at the same time said.."Let's go to Arbys" SO RANDOM!! we never eat there but for some reason we decided it sounded good-so we skipped the friday night crowds, ate some arbys and headed to aaron's parents so he could install his new sub. We hung out with his dad for the evening and eneded the night around 2am! We then slept in saturday morning till around 10. We headed to Lowe's to buy Paint for our next adventure. I have been wanting to pain our living room and redo evertyhign in there all year. I finally decided to get er done! I have to start teaching another school class on Sept 13th every saturday for 1 weeks. Between that, church on sunday, husky games and seahawk games..it leaves little time for projects. I decided on a coffee color. I LOVE the color and it turned out great. We have a dark fushia wall and the rest of them were a sage green color. I really wanted something warmer and more dramatic. We kept the Fushia wall and it tied in really nice with the coffee walls. I made a huge mess of the carpet because we are also doing all new floors. It was nice to be able to not worry about anything getting on the carpet. Aaron graciously taped everything (the part i hate to do) and painted up high and I tackled all in between. We proceeded by buying a new flat screen tv and sunday we ordered new furniture! I have always had lots of stuff on the walls and lots of knick knacks...I SO want simplicity now. Im excited for our flat screen so we can reitre our big bulky ugly entertainment center and Im finally saying goodbuy to our COMFY floral couches. I think they are super cute but Im giving them up for a really nice new set. Im going to do some cherry wood flooring in the entry with all new trim in the living room as well. Also, some nice fluffy carpet. Builder grade for the past 7 years=despertaly needs to be taken out! I can't beleive we have owned our home for 7 years this past July. We love it here but In order to stay happy here I really needed to do some updating. I LOVE planning out everything and picking out new stuff. Im so thankful we are able to do some updating and I can't wait to tackle my kitchen next. It's so funny how your taste changes over time. It really makes me sad to part with some of the decorations and even our furniture-because it's a memory of "US" in the begining. I guess every 7 years isn't to bad to change things up. We will be celebrating 7 years of marriage on Sept 8th and I couldn't be more thankful for a wonderful supportive husband. I love him with all my heart! I am so irritated with myself I didn't take before photos. I have some of our living room with people in them..I will find one to post with the after of the walls. I will update it when we get our flooring and furniture.
