About Us

Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.

Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.

It's Halloween Time!

I LOVE Halloween and Christmas.  They are two of my favorite holidays, probably because I love decorating my house for them.  Here is a little taste of Halloween at our house.  
 I went to the dollar store the other day and picked up these three white square plates.  Then I drew the images on them with a permanent marker.  Not sure it's going to set, so I will probably spray paint them with a glitter top coat.  I think they turned out great though.  I'm in love with the owl and the bat plate, not quite sure about the spider one.
 Most items on here are also from the dollar store.  All the hurricane lamps are from the dollar store, and then glued on dollar store candle sticks.  Then filled them with spiders, skulls, black beads, and a crow.
My mom made me the cute halloween frame and the happy haunting block as a gift for Halloween last year!

 I found this cute halloween tree up at the Barn in Midway.



 These are made from dollar tree candlesticks, and 3 vases from the DI, and a little ribbon from the dollar store.

My mom also made this cute wall hanging years ago.  I love it.
