So it's official, I've been slacking. I don't even know where to start so I'll start with this... sorry for the time lapse. Lets throw this in too... sorry in advance for the rambling I'm about to do. I hope nobody has high expectations for this long awaited blog. I've totally been procrastinating because there's simply too much little stuff to catch up on and when it comes down to it there's not really any big stuff. That's life right?! All the little stuff comes together to become our everyday adventures. :) The big adventures are few and far between and I guess you could say that we're in between for now. No complaints on this end!
One big victory to report... Kurt finished up the 1951 Oldsmobile that he's been diligently working on for, like, ever. Not only am I extremely proud and embarrassingly impressed with his work but this also means that we can finally park in the garage again... just in time for the nice weather. (Nice timing Kurt, not.) On a serious note, this was Kurt's first complete interior project so it's been really cool to see it all come together. I'm admittedly uneducated when it comes to upholstery and/or cars so when this Oldsmobile landed itself in our garage I had a hard time visualizing the finished project. I mean, it barely resembled a real car... no seats, no carpet, bare ceiling and bare doors... it needed some serious interior work. Slowly but surely it came together with no shortage of late nights and long hours, until TA-DA there was a flawless custom interior where all that metal used to be. I never doubted that it would get done because you'd have to be a fool if you think Kurt will give up on something but like I said before, I'm embarrassingly impressed. In fact, this was my initial response: "Wow, you really CAN do this!" ...Of course I meant that in the best possible way and lucky for me Kurt thinks I'm cute and didn't take it the wrong way, hehe.

With this project under his belt Kurt is already making plans to get the Firebird moved up here and finished for the summer. We are both giddy with excitement for spring to be here and warm weather to grace us so we can take advantage of our complimentary work schedules to do more fishing, camping, hiking, road tripping and general adventure seeking! For now, we're excited for another family-filled weekend in the 'Loo... We've been spoiled by having family visit us back to back weekends and we're loving it! This time we're prepping to watch our nephew wrestle at the Pee Wee State Tournament. Maybe if I'm lucky I can find a way to pawn off some of Kurt's 68765168 wrestling trophies that he insists on keeping for-ev-er. Funny story... more to come.
Adios Amigos! (Yummm that makes me want to go to Amigos and eat some fajitas! Gosh I'm a sucker.)
