keeping up with the Hyers

hello!! sorry it has been like ages since I have updated the blog-- please forgive...

Since the last time I blogged we have done LOTS of things and LOTS of things have happened!
It's amazing how fast time goes!! Justin and I have been almost married for a year, I still feel like it was last month! I absolutely love being married to my best friend! Everyday is an adventure and everyday I fall a little bit more in love than I did before. I'm just so grateful and blessed :)

I am still working for an oral surgeon in the Valley and in few months I will have been there a year. I have enjoyed working for an oral surgeon and have been grateful for a job that allows me to not work late at night or weekends, to be just a short drive from home, and provide a great paycheck for us. I still have days where I miss my old boss and co-workers terribly and long to be back working with them but working in an oral surgery has broaden my resume and my knowledge within the dental world.

Justin has been busy with school and can't wait to be finished with all the studying and the homework that is required for a biological engineer degree. Lately his time has mostly been focused on his senior project. Every senior engineer has to do  a project that reflects everything that have learned while in school and needs to be completed before they can graduate. Justin's group is designing a spinal implant and have worked really hard on the write up/ research part and will soon get to start production on the prototype. Justin and his group have to sign a non-discloser agreement with the company that is funding the project. Besides working on that project, Justin still finds time to work part time, tutor a few students, go hunting/shooting and spend time with me! How he does it I have no idea..

Since Justin is usually studying or doing homework on campus I have lots of time to myself. I have come to see how ADDICTING pintrest can actually be. However, I have pulled myself away from the screen and actually try a few things from that web site. I have loved some of the recipes I have made and will have to blog about  them next time.. But my most recent project was for my jewelry. I took one pinners idea and combined it with my own creativity TA-DA!

I bought this tray for .50 cents and a yard sale and took the back off it, painted and stained it, covered the back with fabric that i got on sale for $1.00,  put screen over fabric, (which was free) so that my earrings can hook through it and then staple everything back together and thats all there is to it.

For my necklace holder i just made pegs and drilled out holes then super glued the pegs in and there is my necklace holder :)

I have loved my jewelry holders!!









That's all for now-- until next time. :)  x0x0 -j
