just a little shooting

About once a month we try to get our booty-s out to the shooting range. This time, we brought along my friend Becca who now works with me at Hanover and her friend Chase. 

The local shooting range never lets us down. It was a summer evening at its best.

The girls with the M-1 Carbine.

Seriously hoping she is able to work for Hanover for a long, long while. She's awesome. Plus, I think she's got a kick for shootin' guns. 

Here's to working towards and making a major deadline at work. Happy Thursday.

news flash

After about three years without cable TV...we finally took the plunge. I went on down to the local Comcast office and said "Hey lady, give me a great deal on TV and internet for what I am paying now for just internet," (not really) and she so pleasantly obliged. Then I surprised Kev after a long day of work with the cute little Comcast bag full of equipment for him to hook up.

Hello fancy cable (relatively).

Hello DVR.

Hello On Demand.

Hello more than channels 2-32.

Hello Mad Men reruns.

Hello A's games.

Welcome back to our lives. We missed you. Now we feel spoiled.

Love,

Kevin and Mallory

It's been two years since I said good-bye to my best friend.

Miss you everyday, Mia Doggy.

bedroom upgrades

Remember these free shutters I found at an estate sale? Well, they have finally been given a purpose.

 

With my grandmother's beautiful hopechest in mind...

and the following accessories...

we purchased a new quilt.

Then, I stained 3 of the 5 shutters with Cherry Watco Danish Oil. Then they looked like this:

 

We added picture-hanging brackets to the back of each shutter...

Then carefully hung them on the wall above our newly adorned bed.

Needless to say, we slept well last night.

to Dads!

Happy Father's Day to our Dad's. We are incredibly blessed to have unwavering support from these two.

Also, Happy Father's day to my stepdad Tim, Grandpa O., Papa Serrao, Grandpa Landucci, my Uncle Chris, and my brother Marcus. So many great Dads!

grants pass

Not much new to report around these parts...but we have some projects in the works, so bear with us! 

(hint: shutter headboard and DIY paracord dog collars)

Realized I never posted any pictures from our little trip to Grants Pass, besides the wildflowers. Enjoy!

I just love those trucks!
