Baby bumps and Bookshelves

As promised, I FINALLY took a pregnancy picture! This is me at 25 weeks I still can't believe I'm over half way there!


Right before Kevin and I got married we inherited a black bookshelf from his brother and sister in-law.  It had been spray painted several years ago but definitely had it's fair share of scratches from a few moves.  I had tried to patch it up once but just made it look worse so we had this kind of ghetto piece of furniture.  Since we have ZERO kitchen space I couldn't justify giving it away because it is so nice to have so I have been wanting to paint it for a while now but didn't exactly want to spend tons of money on the paint.  So since we didn't have anything to do this saturday we made a trip to home depot and stopped by the oops paint station.  I was sort of hoping for a grey or charcoal but had no luck.  There was however a plum that I really liked but didn't think Kevin would ever go for.  We walked around for a little and then I decided I wanted to go with the purple so we bought the paint, came home and got to work....
 ! I loved the way it turned out {so did kev} ! I feel like our front room is so much more welcoming now and I can actually have people over ha.
and this is what the finished product looks like.
of course I forgot a "before" picture

After we finished painting we were sitting down and Kev looked at me and said "hey do you want to go on a date with me tonight?"  It took me by surprise because I was not expecting it and I loved it! Since we live in Elko there's not really a lot to do we don't go out super often so when we do it's extra special and fun.  Kevin kept hearing about this good chinese place out in Carlin {about a twenty minute drive for us} called Chins.  He kept telling me he would take me there and I kept teasing him that he wasn't following through. It has been a while since just the two of us have been out without any friends so we got ready and got in the car to make the drive.  It was a lot of fun and the food was really yummy we'll have to go back for sure! It  reminded me of our dating days and how lucky I am that Kevin wanted to marry me, he's the best!
