Remember the Mustang?

Remember the Mustang?

Well, it's all finished and looks a-mazing! Like I said in the ealier post, it had been sitting for over 10 years, at first glance it didn't look like that big of a project, but underneath the paint was a whole new story. After practically losing my husband to the shop for about a month, the big reveal was on Father's Day and the smile on my dad's face was all worth it.

 

Kyle, Mat, my Dad and Me helped with what we could...

It was fun working on something together.

Every panel and door was ripped off, stripped down and repaired.

Then on to the paint.

Once it was painted and put back together it was time for...

THE REVEAL

We had everyone waiting in the front yard, Riley and I drove up the street blasting my Dad's favorite song through the new stereo system we also put in for him. 

Did we make a scene? Yeah probably, but what are families for?

It was pretty priceless to watch him tell "his babe" to get in the front seat and drive away playing Beach Boys.  I think at that moment he was back in 1969, I'm sure he'll come back soon....maybe.

This couldn't have been made possible without Riley, thank you babe for taking all that time and effort to make my dad so happy! I Love You.

6 Months Married!

.

We have been married for 6 months now, and life hasn't stopped or slowed down one bit... in fact its sped up it seems like.  But we've had a ton of fun on the way, and I wouldn't trade any of it!

I do have to say July is my favorite month. I don't think we've had a weekend where we've been home between Lake Powell, camping, family reunions and more camping :-) You don't see me complaining.

Riley is a little exhausted; he started at a company called US Synthetic about 2 months ago, they make diamond coated drill bits for mining or something. Anyway, its an engineering company (which he's going to school to be an engineer) so we thought it would be a good idea for him to get his foot in the door with a good company.  As it turns out they started him working graveyards on Saturday nights.... and 3-11:30 on weekdays. Not fun but he's working hard and has to stick it out for about another month, then it will really start to pay off.

Anyway summer is in full swing and here's just a snippet of some of the things we've done!

I'm a sucker when it comes to my nieces and nephew, so when they asked to spend the night multiple times I couldn't say no... and I think their mom gave them up a little to easily.  Brock loves Riley's parents house so we took them up there to play, well Riley ended up teaching Brock how to drive a backhoe.
