When it all fell down...

...literally!

Dustin and I share the master bedroom of the trailer.

(We live here with my mom & her girlfriend)

We have the only closet in the house.

I let my mom's girlfriend use it,

I use it,

Dustin uses it,

Our board games live here,

most of my baby stuff lives here.

And well,

my closet decided it was DONE.

At 5 am it decided to come down,

every.last.thing.

Dustin and I woke up convinced that someone broke in and we were going to die.

I'm not sure how much of a relief the mess was ;)

The photo above is after an hour of cleaning and getting the shelf to barely hang there while empty.

Pain in my butt.

Excuse me in motion, looking quite the mess.

But this is what our room ended up looking like.

A disaster.

A headache.

A money hungry closet.

I did the only thing I knew how,

called Grandpa.

He always saves the day.

He is pretty amazing.

My closet is not fixed, but it is standing!

And next month we are tearing everything out and installing some new shelves and rods and cabinets!

Is this how you know you are growing up?

When closet organizing becomes exciting?

Anyways, life only gets better from here ;)

17 : The Party

Today I am going to share with you my 17th Birthday.
Nothing im pressive by any means, but we reeeallly got my grandpa this year ;)

The Big one!

You see, birthdays around here aren't like normal birthdays.
I have had the same party every year ages 10-18.
People gather in my kitchen, find a way to surprise Grandpa...simple huh?

Well my 18th was particularly special,
because 'ol Gramps was turning 75!

So we surprised him with this little gem:

 

The entire party, people kept asking why out cake said 1875 when it is 2010.
really?!

 

Hello Awkward Hand. Hello Awesome Grandpa.

And what Birthday is complete with a soulie mirror picture?

We didn't mean to match! Happens often. Twins!

And this bright idea happened when it was wayyy too late. We decided to "camp" in my backyard. Laptops included. And this happened. We can forget this anytime now, kay?

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into the year 1875 our joint party!

xoxo Meghan
