Four hours & 1400 cotton balls later...

For Halloween this year, I wanted Allan and I to dress up together. I searched tons of websites but didn't find any costumes I was really crazy about. So I went to JoAnn's to see if I could find anything in their pattern catalogs that I liked. I found a really cute Little Bo Peep costume & thought of Allan being my sheep. I about died laughing right there. So Little Bo Peep and her sheep it is.

I'm starting with Allan's costume (and still laughing hysterically everytime I picture him in it). I bought white scrubs and a white hoodie and am covering them with cotton balls. It's going to be great!...and time consuming. But four hours and 1400 cotton balls later, the pants are finished and they look awesome! I just have to figure out a way to keep the cotton balls from fraying. I'm hoping hairspray will do it. Now for the hoodie...:S

First Post!

I decided to start a blog for us. I'm hoping Allan will make updates on it too, but we'll see. He's not much of a computer person unless it's for games.

We are currently living in an apt. in Midvale. It's very small, but perfect for only two people. It was a little scary when I first saw it, but my family surprised us by doing a massive cleaning job on it & painting every single wall (and what was the blue cement floor) while I was out of town. It looks great now! It was the perfect wedding present.

The apartment has it's little quirks and I find them hysterically funny. My favorite is that if we use the microwave with the lights on, it'll blow a fuse. Allan discovered that if you turn the power level down, the lights will flicker, but won't go out. However, to make popcorn, all the lights have to be off. When we first came across this little quirk, I couldn't stop laughing. Allan was not so amused. Luckily, he's come to terms with it and now gets a kick out of it. I guess it'll be one of those great "when we were first married" stories we tell our kids about years down the road.
