we've left the blog of jamandrey behind.... obviously.
we've moved on to a herd of new adventures and another time of stories, pictures, and places.
so my blog needed to change. i want to remember these things, but mostly just share them, and by share, i mean show everyone how awesome the new 50 shades life is....
The 50 Shades Life.
how it began? well, i knew this kid in high school, sort of, i don't remember him really ever going. we ran into each other randomly, and kept in touch via facebook, as he was living in Hawaii at the time. he came and visited a few times, and needless to say, my awesomeness could not be resisted. he moved back to Utah, he didn't get rid of me, so we bought a house and got married. (these all have rad stories, but i'll have to get to them later). we are currently spending all of our time running around with the offspring who keeps us busy, him working, me working, and pretty much all the rest on our house.
The 50 Shades Casa.
our home we purchased was built in 1898, has a pretty rad story too, so needless to say it needs some updating/additions/revamps etc. i LOVE my house. its my favorite house i've ever owned. it's also the first house i've ever owned. but when we purchased it, EVERY SINGLE wall, ceiling, railing and trim was the same beige color. ya, that didn't work for me. so i told the husband, i want to paint. to which he replied with a huge sigh and eye roll. he knew very early on whatever 'I' wanted to do, meant work for HIM. so after coming to a very civil compromise we decided we'd just paint the dining room right now. so after searching the best website in the world- pinterest, i found the color i wanted and sent him on his way, gift card to Lowe's in tow.
You see we had this AWESOME real estate agent, he's the best one i've ever used, again, also the first i've ever used, and it just so happens he was my big brother. and because my big brother has a lot of making up to do for tortures he performed on me as a child he gave us a cool 'house warming/wedding gift' in the form of a 500$ gift card to Lowe's.
So upon my husbands return home from Lowe's he had quite a lot more items than i anticipated. these included: 11 (one) gallons of paint, tape, brushes, trays, drop cloths, etc. i was in a little shock. i wasn't expecting all this stuff for one room. i asked how much. all he could do was ramble on about how expensive it can get, which i know. so again, i asked how much. he said something like "526$" i was speechless, which NEVER happens to me. but i decided instead of ranting and raving and carrying on like a crazy person i just smiled and said, well where are the rollers, i'll get started. now i'm not for sure on details, but when my husband told me he had forgotten to purchase the roller brushes that whole ranting and raving thing came rushing out like usual. but thats not the point. my husband does not believe in wasting. well, wasting anything on purpose (sometimes things happen). so instead of just painting the dining room the beautiful chelsea gray i had selected, i know have a gray dining room, gray living room, gray stair way, gray bedroom for the offspring, gray hallway, and soon to be 4 more rooms of various shades of gray- as we are not wasting ANY of our original 11 gallons we purchased.
so now everyone is caught up on the story of the 50 Shades residence... we will surely keep you posted of future happenings, and in the mean time try and get you caught up on the past ones, which in my opinion, are pretty awesome.
