Quilting

A few years back, my Grandma bought all the Girls in the family a new sewing machine.  Talk about exciting!! I've always sewn on my Mom's archaic one all through my 4, possibly 5 years of sewing camp so I have been hesitant to whip out my less traveled one!  But finally a few weeks back my sister and I got the itch for another craft project and we decided to quilt! I wasn't sure I was ready to commit to a QUILT until Jess took me to a cute fabric boutique where I fell in love with all the different prints!  After that I couldn't get started soon enough!  So I hauled Greg up the road to the store and he even helped me pick out some fabric. Cute huh!  So while the boys had their video game weekend, my sis and I were kept busy with these:

The most tedious part is usually all the cutting out.

 

 

Jess' on the left, Mine on the right.

 Its so cool and neat how different they both turned out!  They are both the exact same pattern but the different material makes them look nothing alike!  I thought mine looked pretty cute until I saw jess's, and then I decided mine kind of looked like some sort of drunk fiesta.  Just different styles I guess!  

Anyway, this was the project that we needed to get our confidence back and now we have so many plans to sew other things and my mind is constantly turning with ideas.  Fun!

Meet the Galloways!

FINALLY!  We have started a married couples' blog!  Hopefully I won't forget about this one :) So, lets get it started!
 Greg served with my Brothers best friend on his mission so when they all got back, naturally, they all hung out!  So its pretty funny to say that we met in my basement when people ask where we met- I didn't even have to leave my house!  We were both dating other people at the time so we just hung out as much as possible. (It was usually me tagging along with all the boys, because, let's face it, they were a LOT funner than that other loser I was dating.)  It went from us sort of joking around here and there to us staying up sooo late and watching movies after my Brother, Gavin went to bed so we could just laugh together more.  Everything was a constant joke when we were together and that's what I couldn't get enough of! So yadda yadda yadda we are both still dating other losers that are living hours and hours away, and we just kept spending more and more time together.  Talking more, Laughing more, and probably sitting a little closer at the table ;)  Months go by and Greg moves back to Boise for the summer and ta-da! both of us are single!  He came down for The epic 4th of July and everything took off from  there!  I've always wanted my perfect 4th of July and I finally got it!  So it only makes sense that we would fall deeply and madly in love with each other and start working on our happily ever FOREVER!

We all went to Lagoon when he came down for our first 4th

Me- Tagging along
