The Three B's....Birthdays, Baseball, and Buys!

Hello my friends!
So I need to update you guys on what has been going on in our lives! I completely had forgotten to post about my birthday to you guys, and so I need to make up for that. And then I also had a couple really neat buys lately and I wanted to show you that too! So here we go!

Yesterday, I went to a local thrift store and found some great buys! Everything that had a white tag were only a dollar! So I got myself a couple miscellaneous items, as well as 5 shirts, all for a grand total of $21! I know that fall is coming soon, so my shirts were either long sleeve or close to it!
Also, I have decided to redecorate my living room! I am trying to save money with the whole do-it-yourself idea. I made my own pillows, which on one side is black and white, and the other is Navy Blue, and then I am in the process of making curtains. I made one of the two layers so far, it is a crushed white and I love it because it is so billowy! Next I will make the tan portion that is the heavier outside of the curtain which I'll have pulled aside in the day time, but closed at night. And then all that will be left is to paint the room a lighter shade of blue.


For my 22nd birthday, Micah and I had a blast, we started by going to the Denver temple to watch the family sealing of some great friends of ours, Marco y Susana to their two children, Tony y Sammie. It was a very special thing to have on the morning of my birthday, and it really set the mood for the day. It is amazing what the spirit can do for you!

That evening, we met up with Micah's parents and went to my first Rockie's game! It was sooo much fun! We were sitting so close that it felt like we were on the field! And it was a nail-biter! We were yelling and screaming up until the last second, it was absolutely amazing. Micah also got me my first Major League hot dog. It was really yummy!!! Then as it got dark, being there in Coors Field was a great view of the sky. The colors got so beautiful I just had to post pictures of all of it!


Have a great day!
