Happy Saturday!!

My dad is a real Mr. Fix it kind of man. For example, about two weeks ago he was told that his rental property needed a few shingles replaced. It would have only cost $200 for the roofer to take care of it, but alas the next Saturday I found myself in the roofing isle of lowes picking out shingle nails. He and I climbed to the roof of the three story town house and got to work.

This last week my father decided the deck needed to be stained. So Saturday morning I was awaken early and the Allred family got to work staining the deck. Here are some pictures of all the fun!

We aren't quite finished because my sister and her family showed up and I'd much rather spend my day with her and my hot MES! But you better believe I already have some hot plans for next saturday. It starts with "Finish" and ends with "the deck".

I don't know how I get so lucky!

Well, once again Heavenly Father has blessed me with the most perfect job! I don't know how I get so lucky ALL the time! I am basically the personal assistant to the owner of Energizing Spaces. It is a staging and decorating company. I spend most of my time decorating and staging houses, shopping, and buying/moving furniture. I also do some organizing and whatever else she wants me to do. The woman who owns the company is someone who I have looked up to and admired since I was a teenager. So not only do I get paid to do all of the fun things I mentioned above, I get paid to hang out with her! (Don't tell her, but I would totally do it all for free just so I could hang out with and learn from her).

Seriously I try really hard every single day to make it worth it to her to have me around. And Every day I go home feeling uplifted and great about myself because that is the kind of person she is. I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with her and do fun things I enjoy! (It makes me not want to start school full time in the fall because I wont be able to play...I mean, work as much)
