Home Improvement

We've been busy busy lately with school starting back up and all. Grant is also working and job searching so when he's extra busy I have been working on my domestic skills, (yes family, even my cooking skills!) We have also been working on decorating our apartment which looked like this when we moved in...The day we got our key and started moving stuff in

Our empty little kitchen

The front door and wall

The other wall of the living room

Since then we've been working on home improvements. Garage sale-ing, spray paint, masking tape, and lots of 3M sticky things on the walls led to our little apartment looking a bit more like a home:

Our TV-less TV stand
Our masking tape tree decor-- We also fixed up that lamp that used to be gold and kinda nasty. Note, the pictures are still the ones that come with the frames... Also, that mirror on the right is one we bought at a yard sale for $3 and spray painted black!
We set up "track lighting" with sticky lights and pointed them towards our trendy wall.

Our kitchen-- still little, but not empty!
This is another lamp we painted. It looks really cool we just have to find the right shade for it.

We're really excited about our new little home and how it's coming together! Luckily we're finally getting some of our own income with Grant's Ebusiness job and High School Musical so hopefully a TV and a little table will be our next new additions!

We're still here!!

Although our blog does not show it, we, the Tanners are still alive and kickin it! We actually have quite a few exciting things to blog about! However with recent computer issues... (unfortunately self-inflicted) and our busy transition back to school and work we just haven't gotten around to it yet. But in case you've missed our faces, here's a little somethin somethin :)

Apparently the entertainment bug has caught on because...

Grant decided to jump on the bandwagon... Here's American Fever-- 10 million albums sold and tours in China, Japan and Lithuania!! Wahoo! Go Grantie!!

Okay... we'll come up with real news next time....

Honeymoon in San Diego

Grant and I just got back from a long trip! First we went to Denver for our open house at the Tanner's home. It was really nice with lots of yummy food that we actually got to eat this time! My family came out for the occasion so we had fun both the Petersons and the Tanners once more before we headed off to San Diego.

Once we got there it was go, go go! We hit the San Diego Zoo, the Wild Animal Park, SeaWorld, Jetskiing at Mission Bay, lots of boogie boarding at different beaches, shopping, and even a trip to the San Diego Temple! It was a perfect end to the summer and start to our family! Here are a few highlights of the trip:
I developed a strange tongue habit in picture taking... luckily it subsided by the end of the trip...

Hiking at Torrey Pines
This looks like Pirates of the Carribean-- sweetLa Jolla Cove-- the water was coming to get me

What a fun time we had! Of course it is good to be home as we attempt to get settled in to our new place. If now we could only get rid of our killer colds!

Officially a Tanner!

This last Saturday Grant and I were married for time and all eternity in the Boise Idaho temple! It was certainly a long day but other than having tired feed and being sick of taking pictures it was so perfect! Everything we planned, (or really didn't plan because my mom did mostly everything) was great. Our families were both able to make it and we had a great time remembering old memories and creating new ones. Thanks to everyone who did so much to help make this the best day of our lives!! Hooray for being a Tanner!!!

Our first dance as husband and wife. Grant had some hidden dance skills...

Us and our parents
