First Lesson in Golf..."Don't talk in the back swing!"

So, here is a question for all of you. Is golfing on Sunday against the Sabbath? Now, I know what all of you are thinking...of course it is! However, when you are married to someone who likes to argue this fact, I would like to tell you some of his side. His thinking is that he has already bought a season pass so he didn't have to pay anything. We attended all of our meetings today, so we didn't skip out on church, and we went together. His argument was that it is just like going to the park and throwing around a fris-bee. So, I pose the question again, is it breaking the Sabbath to go golfing on Sunday? I happen to be on the fence at this point. At first it was a definite yes, but now having gone, I'm not so sure. It was a beautiful night, and it was really nice just the two of us on the green. I of course didn't play, but it was great just walking it with him. One more thought, by me going with him, it also made him control his tongue. To any of you who know Brandon, he rarely gets worked up, but when it comes to his golf it comes out! I didn't help his game by any means. Going back to the title of this blog, I got the first lesson the first tee off! We had to "scratch" the first ball because I asked him a question in his back swing! I learned my lesson, and the rest of the 8 I was very much aware of when I could ask a question! I apologize to those of you who think we are terrible saints, but here are a few pictures of today..

Look at the beautiful blue sky! This was at 6:30 pm.

Can you see the little white ball surrounded by all the long green wet grass? Yeah, this was one of the first balls that we almost lost to either the brush, or the water. Brandon did well getting himself out of trouble. I think he will do well for the TANNER CUP this year! All you boys better watch out! Brandon is gonna reclaim the title! (We are staying positive, hopefully it will work!)

My Little Project

So, as most of you know, Brandon and I had to move not to long ago. We moved into an apartment that had a much bigger living room, so we decided to get couches, and give Mom and Dad Tanner back theirs. It took 6 weeks for us to get them, but it was worth it. They are gorgeous. However, I needed end tables now that I got my couch. So the hunt began... I searched for some that I liked, but did you know that end tables are expensive? You cannot find a decent one less then a hundred bucks! So, I decided to go Garage Sale shopping. I found these ones for $30 bucks! I could not pass them up, but as you can see they needed a little TLC.

So, in between the days I had to work I worked on these tables. I have come to the conclusion that I am addicted to the color RED! I LOVE IT! Brandon, however does not! But, he lets me use it while we are in a temporary place where I cannot paint the walls! I have to get my color in somehow. So, what color did I paint these babies? Yep, you guessed it.. RED! Here is stage two.

I painted them outside. As you can see, I tried to save the grass, but it did not work as well as I planed. Mind you we live in Rexburg ID, so of course it was windy! It made it difficult to get the paint even, but I did my best. So, here is the finished project. I love them! They are a bit big, but as I said before, I'm addicted to RED, so the bigger the better! I still have to find lamps to go on them, and I have a plan to put up a wall decor that includes pictures and ribbon...That is my next project! You can see the rod behind the right end table to go with it. Right now I have a mirror above the couch. (That is why there is a glare in the middle of the pic!) Oh, included in the next project I am going to cover those awful throw pillows!

Happy Mothers Day to All you Mammas!

I'm here at work on Mothers Day, and I am just thinking about all of you Moms. What a blessing/curse it is to be a Mom. I guess I should not say curse, but it is a really hard job. You never get a day off, or a break. It is constant 24/7. I just want all of you to know how much I appreciate you, and how much I look up to you. Everyone of you have taught, and still teach, me how to be a mother. That is another hard thing about being a mom.... You never "graduate" from it. You are always learning. I suppose you could say you "graduate" when you get all of your kids out of the house, but that still isn't true, because then you have your kids calling you for advice and stuff. So, Thanks for all of your examples to me. Hopefully I can take them all in and mold them into my own. So, let your hair down, lock the door, and take a BUBBLE BATH. You all deserve it! I love ya!
