Here are some of the things Micah has been up to since he's been out of school and just working for the summer till he goes to Troy University in the Fall.
These two pictures show a chess set made by Micah, in May. Yep! He really made the whole thing, board and pieces and all! He made the chess pieces by designing them on paper first then using some of the machines at work he carved them out by hand. I was pretty impressed as well as others. It's great being married to a woodworker! :)
I've never really known how to play chess so now that we have this chess set we have been playing and I have been learning. I have yet to win a game. Micah beats me horribly every time!
A trip to the beach with his brother and cousins to go skim boarding is what gave us these next two pictures. Yikes! Micah did a great job of putting sunscreen that had an SPF of 50 on his shoulders and arms and such but he forgot about his feet! Yea, those are crispy, fried feet!
He's feet were so badly burned that his left foot swelled up a lot and he could not hardly walk on them. Church the next day was rough in church socks and church shoes. I told him he should just were sandals, but he didn't think it would go to well with his suit and tie. :)
He spent Sunday afternoon laid up on the couch with his feet elevated and an ice pack wrapped in a towel duct taped to his left foot, which seemed to have gotten the worst of the burning. There all better today, a month later, but are still peeling! So people, please if you go to the beach DO NOT forget to put sunscreen on your little piggies! :)
For a while now I have been trying to convince Micah to make us some night stands for our bed room because I have been using a big tube thing and he used a really old little night stand. I wanted some nice matching ones that we could use. So one day in the beginning of June he came home and said he had decided to make the night stands and asked if it could be my birthday present. Oh yes, is what I said! Woohoo! Here are the final results.
It's been so great having my own real night stand to put all my stuff on. The nice thing about having them made by Micah is we got to choose how high we wanted them and what color and how we wanted them to look. Once again it's great being married to a woodworking man! :)

Wow, that chess board is amazing, Jordan thought so too. Micah is quite the craftsman. I hope his feet are all better by the time you guys get here since I'm sure Dad will make him go on a couple of torture hikes.
