Fathers Day

This year Kona wanted to give her daddy something really special... He was hoping for surround sound but Kona's allowance is not that big. Anyways Kona thinks her daddy takes some really nice pictures and she loves hearing stories about his trip to India so she framed a bunch of pictures that he took while he was there and had me hang them on the wall in the kitchen... it was so horrible because she had this specific vision and I just could not hang the pictures in the right spots... but this is eventually what we came up with...

Here is a front view... by the way did you know if you click on the pictures you can see the full size version... I am sure you knew but I am just making sure cuase I just figured it out!Kona thinks they turned out really good... Good job Derick!!!

Oh and we also got an entertainment center a week ago...We got it from the green store like our DVD thing, and we got another littler DVD thing (pictured above) Anyway, the DVD things came in little flat boxes and we had to assemble them, so thats how I figured the entertainment center would come... No... It came all together... so to fit it in our car with the three people (Derick, Mike & I) who all drove 45 min to the store we had to fold down half of the backseat and push the drivers seat all the way to the front... so Derick was driving with his knees up on the dash and his arm pushed up in front on the stearing wheel like a t-rex... and to turn he had to shuffle the wheel really fast with his hands cause he couldn't move his arms... I almost peed my pants... but if I was Caitlyn I just would have thrown it on top and ran a rope through the open windows...
But the moral of the story is it worked (like I said it would... there were doubters) and it looks really nice. So I finally don't have to hear Derick complain about our old entertainment center... which he thought was great enough at one point to buy... hmm... AND I hung up my tablecloths from my wedding over our window over our couch and they look GREAT!!!

I miss you so bad that it hurts. I want to go explore with you so bad (I've got a bunch of mexican pansies here) Your description of the car ride reminded me of the time that you guys totaled the car on the way out to phoenix and then we all piled in our taurus, with all of that crap. . . and then threw it all on Becca when she fell asleep. hahaha.
loves.

Who knew the table covers would end up as curtains! A good way to remember the wedding! I didn't think you'd ever find a use for them, but I forgot you were Lisa. What do your friends think of the tribal table?
