the Crafty Couch

Since school's been out, I've had a lot more time on my hands :) Between all of our fun trips, I've managed to squeeze in some of my Pinterest projects that I've been wanting to do all year! Here's what's been happening in the Couch household...

With our busy schedules, I thought making our very own menu for the week would help get dinner on the table faster. I'm not sure how much it's helped in that regard so far, but I'm excited to use it! :)
[This was our birthday celebration week hence the celebration dinners ;) ]

Step 1: Find sand dollars

Step 2: Bleach sand dollars and shake out sand (Good work Kevin!)

 Step 3: Display sand dollars :)

I kept all our cards from our wedding waiting for the perfect way to use them. I found this cute idea on Pinterest and I love how they turned out! They look so cute sitting on our bookshelf and I loved reading through all the advice our friends and family gave to us! Happy six months of marriage to us! :) 

Congrats to Dr. Couch!

A few weekends ago we went out to celebrate the graduation of Jason from UCSF Dental School! We were so happy to be there for Jason's big day and am so happy for him and Kristine and all they've done these past four years! We've loved being able to visit them in San Francisco these past few years and are glad we could make it for this last hurrah! We had so much fun with both of our families there! We did everything from finding sand dollars at the beach to Ghiradelli Square, picnics in the park, eating delicious food from the food trucks and my personal favorite, riding bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge! Here's a quick look at the weekend!

Peru!

I (Kevin) took a little trip to Peru for two weeks. It was an awesome adventure. I was part of a group called Global Engineering Outreach. My group had been working all year on a hand powered washing machine. Then we got to go down to Peru and teach the people how to make it.

This is in the center of Cuzco.

We also visited the floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca Overall it was a great trip and I had a lot of fun. However, next time Karen definitely needs to come with me!
