Prom Night!

Last weekend, we were able to do something most people don't get to do...re-live prom night! A few weeks ago we had made plans with some friends of ours to have dinner then the guys were going to go and watch the UFC fights, and Liz and I were going to do something girly together. Long story short, we stumbled upon Smiley's adult prom! Smiley is a DJ from 99.5 WZPL and every year they put on an adult prom. So Liz and I decided to go as each other's dates! What was really funny about it was that I had found a $100 gift certificate for $8 to the Eagle's Nest so that was where we were going to eat (to celebrate my and Micheal's birthdays and because it was such a good deal). So we did what everyone did in high school- ate dinner at the Eagle's nest then went to prom! It was a blast. Here are some pics of the night:

Below are some of the amazing views from our seat. It was such a beautiful night. You could even see the pyramids from downtown!

After dinner we went back and changed real fast....

It was SOOO hot in there


The guys came to pick us up and were able to dance with us during the last few songs.
Liz and I were sore the next morning because I am pretty sure we danced for 4 hours straight!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Please come back some other day! The Heavins have cabin fever!

His favorite thing to do is lay on our shoes

My Impulse Project

So a few Saturdays ago, I was sitting on my coach eating my cereal...staring at something, that admit-tingly only I noticed (but still), the bane of my existence (one of, anyway) in this house...the fireplace tile. It was pink. That was all to be said. One could maybe say salmon, but nevertheless, it was hideous. So, I decided to paint it. I went to Lowe's on my own (props to all of us do-it-yourself'ers out there), pinked out my paint, and had at it. Overall, it took me about 3 weeks after priming, curing, and touch ups. I must say I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

Before...ICK ICK ICK ICK

During....

After.... Ta-Da!
I picked a textured paint that has granite grits mixed in. It looks even better in person! Please stop by to check it out ;)

Hello strangers! Sorry it has been a while since my last post. Kellen and I have been pretty boring, really. Nothing big to report, except that we have spring fever pretty badly. And with spring fever, comes antsy-ness. Many of my friends have been gifted with what I have dubbed as 'life skills' - they can cook, scrapbook, craft, sew (pretty amazing things I might add), keep a busy household of children organized, knit, blog like professionals etc..... they are amazing. I was talking with Kellen, and I was trying to figure out what my 'life skill' is....and crickets chirped. Fantastic. I mean you are talking to the girl that super glued a button on one of Kellen's dress shirts one time in a pinch (cringe, it's okay).

While I was hunting down those annoying crickets, I realized that there is one thing I can and enjoy doing. CLEANING. Not as glamorous as everyone else, but practical I guess. So, I made one of my famous to-do lists, turned on the Radio Margaritaville on my Sirius XM, opened some windows and got into my one 'life skill.'

Just seeing this makes me get excited

To-Do List. So far, I have:

• vacuumed and cleaned all baseboards
• vacuumed the blinds and window treatments
• dusted the ceiling fans, light fixtures and ceiling corners, etc.
• emptied out the kitchen cabinets, purged and cleaned the shelves
• cleaned out from under our bed, moved mattress and swept
• cleaned out the fridge and washed the shelves
• spot treated the carpet
• hand washed the hardwood floors
• cleaned out the flower beds and planted pansies. our bulbs are popping out too!
• Kellen got a new tool chest, so his recent project has been cleaning out the garage and organizing it. now i'm not embarrassed to have people see it!
  

We still want to:

• recaulk baseboards where needed
• clean out all the windows and window sills
  

Our house is almost ready for spring!

These have been my two best friends this week
