Weekend recap

I know I know.... You've seen a million of these posts! This will be short and sweet, because we forgot our camera at home, so no pictures! :-(

We headed to Wisconsin Thursday night to the in-laws house.

Friday- We slept in, got up to eat breakfast and relaxed with my in-laws. I got this from AE, which I cannot wait to wear it! On clearance, nonetheless!! :-) We headed to Goodwill, because I've been on the lookout for books to add to my collection for counseling. I found Today I feel Silly by: Jamie Lee Curtis. It's a great, great, great book to use with small children, as well as some middle school children! After that, we headed to hubby's cousin's high school graduation party. Ate some delicious food and headed home to bed...

Saturday- We were lucky enough to sleep in again! Then breakfast and running errands. My MIL and I headed to Staller Estate Winery to pick up some much needed wine and cheese. Their wine is by far the best I've had anywhere! Delicious! Check out their website, if you're ever in Delavan, WI head on over! We then hit up Buffalo Wild Wings for some amazing wings where we ordered Way too much just enough to fill us up. Afterwords, we went back to my in-laws house to have said wine and cheese. The neighbors were shooting off fireworks and Bear was terrified beyond belief. Have you ever seen a dog shake uncontrollably? It was so sad! Needless to say he cuddled up close to us the entire night.

Sunday- We had to wake up early to head back home. We stopped to see my parents 1/2 way home and then came home to watch The Bank Job. I would recommend the movie, it was pretty good. We went to bed early and that was the end to our weekend.

All in all it was a great 4th of July weekend and it was nice to see the in-laws. Sounds like you all had a fantastic weekend!

My husband, the builder....

So, awhile back, I posted about My Husband

Recently, he's been really big into speaker building. AND he's great at it! His most recent project was a Father's Day/Birthday gift for his Dad. This project took him hours upon hours planning, designing, and building. I must say, they turned out great. Speakers such as these would cost someone anywhere between $600-$800 for the pair and we snuck by for a mere $150-200/pair. Not bad, though his time does cost for something. He says they would rival any $800/pair at the store...... So We were pretty excited with how they turned out. His next plan is to make some for our home. He told me to say that if anyone would want to know details of how he choose the speakers, designed them and built them, to just ask and he will post it on here! (probably more so for your husbands/boyfriends)

Here is the project midway through.... Sorry I don't have any at the start with just wood... But you can imagine that one on your own!

Here is another stage. Gluing the wood together and clamping it down with
a million clamps!

Here they are, completely finished, except for the internal parts and speakers


Then he varnished them, which turned out beautifully!


The Final Product!!! Please excuse our messy theater room, but he had to hook
them up to make sure they worked right.

They turned out amazing and sound awesome!
