The Month in Review: July 2013

All 31 days of July condensed into one blog post.

Jon and I celebrated our first Fourth of July in our home and as newlyweds. We even displayed Old Glory out for all our neighbors and guests to see.

I DIY'd some welcoming art for our entryway and Jon finished painting our living room even though he lacked motivation. 

Poseidon got hit by a bike and had a bath, not sure which he hated more. He also creeped us out on a walk!

Thankfully he's still cute. Especially when he wants early morning cuddles. 

We purchased a console table and functionally decorated it. Our backyard got a mini and free makeover.

I got the Man Cave ready for guests and we celebrated a friend's wedding with our house guests.

I also failed miserably at my first sewing attempt. Really glad I didn't document that!

We celebrated Father's day a little late with my family at Universal Studios. My dad's favorite was the Simpson's ride.

Pssst... if you want to more of us in July check out my Instagram feed and our monthly roundup of our funniest moments!

We Think We're Funny: July 2013

Shocker. Jon & I still think we're funny. And my mom makes a guest appearance.

After seeing this photo:
Jonathan: I look old and tired. I'm decaying already!

Noticing our fully painted wall & our stripe-y wall:
Mom: You guys painted this wall!
Jonathan: It was like that when you came over last weekend.
Mom: Really? Hey! What happened to this wall (looking at the half done wall).
Berennisse: It was like that last weekend. You didn't notice?

When I asked Jon to finish painting the living room:
Berennnisse: Babe, if you buy the paint today I'll finish painting.
Jonathan: No.
Berennisse: Why? I'm trying to help.
Jonathan: You don't do it right.
Berennisse: So you'll paint today?
Jonathan: Sigh. Maybe.

After Jon enters the living room with a glass of wine:
Berennisse: Babe, I said I didn't want any.
Jonathan: I know. Its for me.
Berennisse: Thought you felt nauseated?
Jonathan: Oh, I know its not good idea!

As Poseidon and I are on his evening walk:
Berennisse: Poseidon, sit! Stay, I want to take a photo. (bike whizzes behind us)
Poseidon: (jumps and hides behind his human)

Poseidon: (stares after the rider and snorts) 

After running an errand at Costco:
Berennisse: We can have dinner here if you want?
Jonathan: YES! I love Costco!
(check out the sheer joy on Jon's face)
