A Day in May

    Cute home decor is so much fun! I love to decorate but it can get really expensive sometimes. There is a long wall right when you walk in to my house that looked very plain. I was having a hard time finding something that fit and was not out of my price range. Pallet art has become very popular on Pinterest and it just so happens that my husband works at a pallet shop! I told him the dimensions I was looking for and he made this for me. I looked up pictures online and used that to figure out exactly what I wanted. I used acrylic paints and a clear setting spray on top. It was super fun to make and I love having lots of bright colors in my house during this time of year!! I had fun making this over the weekend as well as hanging out with my family that was in town.
    We spent the weekend eating out and shopping. My favorite lunch spot is actually my work place, Jimmy Johns. They have low carb lettuce wraps called Unwiches. They are so tasty as well as healthy. If you are Paleo, you can order it without mayo. I also really like their Vito, and will occasionally order that with extra hot peppers and veggies.
    My family ended up going home Sunday evening. On Monday, Carl and I decided to go hiking. The rain from the weekend had finally cleared up and I was really happy about it. It was such a beautiful day. We hiked to Emerald Pools in Zion. It was super busy which was to be expected over Memorial day weekend. Despite that, we still had lots of fun. We did not have any problems getting on to the packed shuttles because it was just the two of us. I was surprised because I may have liked the Red Rock hike we did the previous week just a little bit more. Emerald Pools was pretty but the Fern Canyon was just as pretty without all of the people.
