Last Saturday was my company's annual summer picnic. It was a hot day, but the food was good and the people were fun to hang out with.

Doug and I were jealous we didn't have a kayak; one day we'll get our own - the woman in the background is standing and paddling. 
After the picnic, Doug and I stopped at the office supply store to pick up a desk. I saw the desk in a weekend ad but I kept looking around to see if I could find other options.
We decided to put the desk I have now into Doug's room because it has a large work surface he can use for his guns and we wanted a smaller desk to open up more room where that desk sits now. My current desk:

Taking the desk apart to get it into Doug's room was quite a headache. His doorway is about 30 inches and the desk is 32+. We had to get the desk into 4 parts to fit it through the doorway. 
You'll never believe the most important tool we used was dental floss! We couldn't get the hutch to separate from the desk. We tried every screw, then pulling, tugging, pushing...Doug was even standing on the desk trying to muscle it loose, but nothing would work! I grabbed some floss to put between the hutch and the desk to find out where it was stuck and the floss ended up cutting the double sided tape! We completely forgot that we put strong tape between the pieces to secure it. YAY FLOSS!
The next project was putting the new desk together: 
I love that the backer board has shoe prints on it. I guess the guys packaging the product didn't really care. Sheesh. 
My new desk - it's much smaller and opens a lot of room:
A week or so ago we decided to have a lazy day and lay around and watch movies; the air matress is still blown up and now there is a lot of room without a huge desk in the way:
