HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I hope you all had a blast.

 So Rex and i have had a very eventful weekend so far. on Thursday night we went to dinner with Aunt Pat and  i had told Rex on the way back from TX that we need a little table to put between the doors in the hallway and that i was going to probably shop at antique stores to get one and revamp it... so when we went to dinner w aunt pat we were telling her about it and she said she had one that was old but we could have. so we had our first mini remodel in the Mason household. I have uploaded some pics to show you the before and after... we stood  in hobby lobby for what seemed like a hr trying to figure out what design and what color and we needed some wood glue and some sand paper.... it was a much bigger task than we thought it was going to. But for those of you who read this and know very little about Rex, when he starts to get interested in something it either has to be done right, or not at all! So we sanded down and painted and then stenciled. and i LOVE IT! it is sitting in the hallway now, it is really short so we need a skinny tall vase to put flowers in to put on the table. But i am sure that i can find something that will work at Hobby Lobby. (i could have a small problem when it comes to that store...)

Before Pic!

Another Finished pic.

When i find the perfect vase i will post another pic but until then i am on a mission.

So for New Years Eve we went down to alma and got together with Zack and Rachel. It was so much fun. Rachel and i spent most of the time laughing at Zack and Rex. They are so funny when they get together. We went and ate at Market Place and then went back to their house. It was a blast. We are blessed to have such great friends. Although their cat,"Crotch", has got to go!

and lastly, today i felt like a wife for the first time.... I went grocery shopping in sweat pants and Rex's t shirt, ALONE... that is the part that made me feel like a wife... Rex was home sleeping, and i took it upon myself to face the cruel harsh world alone... and guess what? it was SO much cheaper than having him with me. :)
then when i came home i tried to cook pork roast. ya definitely the most awful thing i have ever cooked. it was like chewing on sand, it was so dry!
Ok thats all for tonight. Have to go clean out the crock pot. Bad news bears when i try to cook. Have yet to accomplish that part of being a good wife.
