This week we started a new adventure together. We are reupholstering our couches. Ryan was very reluctant about tackling such and ambitious project. But I told him that all the successful couples I knew did projects together and then suggested some different options that I knew he would never agree to (quilting, cake decorating and preserving jellies) and all of a sudden reupholstering wasn't so bad. One of the first things that we had to decide on was the color. I thought that one of these colors would be a lot of fun. 
But Ryan was more interested in one of these colors. 
We compromised and are getting one of the colors in Ryan's batch, "new mocha," but I can make the pillows as wild as I want. Not a bad arrangement.

The first rule of thumb when starting a project is to get lots of help.
This is particularly important because it appears that the people who did the original job were paid by the staple. Our love seat is now in about 20 pieces and 1000 staples all over the basement. This is going to be a good time.

Spencer said that he would have picked fushia. I would have picked neon yellow so that you can't see the poop that gets on it. I'm very practical in that way.
