House!!!

Some new pictures of things I have done in the house.

New picture hung.......with almost killing the husband

Shot from the far living room corner looking into dining room

Four pictures hung all by myself....


Shot from the dining looking into the living room.

We have also done some landscraping/cleaning up the yard.....It is A LOT of work.

New flower bed in the front yard.

This is only part of the rocks/bricks/cement slab we found after leaves and garbage. The previous owners put plastic down to keep out the weeds. It doesn't work!!! We took out 1 1/2 contractor bags of plastic that had fallen apart.
I will continue to update projects I am doing!!!

Have a great week!!!!

OH NO!!!!

My SD card won't read in my computer......Grr!!! I have some great pictures from our house and other stuff! It will have to wait til I can get to Wal.mar.t!!!

Well....

I have a lot of thoughts going through my head right now.

I am having so many emotions that I am feeling.

Life Got Busy!!!

Hello Blogger Friends (or maybe I should say Friend---)

As the title of this post says Life Got Busy....that is where I have been......Playing Life.....and taking steps in adulthood.

We bought a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't want to say much on FB or here until it was a done deal. We closed a month ago and have been living the American Dream! We love our house, we love the neighborhood, we appreicate the love and support we got from our family and friends. What do we miss??? Our neighbors, and our short commute to work. We now have a 25 minute commute (or 40 minute, that is what my husband says.....I must drive faster!!!!) We miss our neighbors in our duplex a ton!!!! It was hard to tell them and even harder to walk by that last time! But it was just time to take that "next" step in life!!!

Here is the timeline of what we went though!!!

Early Feb----Looked at house, fell in LOVE

Feb.5---Got a call from our agent "another offer is on the table! What do you want to do?"

Feb. 6---Made an offer

Feb 6---Offer accepted within 30 minutes!!!!! Few changes to closing date!

Feb 7-28---Anxious......did we make the right decsions?!?!?!? Can't look back now!!!!!

March 5---CLOSED!!!! So excited to make that step!!!

March 6/7---Aimee came down to help with painting and such!!!! Thanks, Aims!!!!

Dining Room--before

Dining room---After

Kitchen---Before

Kitchen--After

The was the beginnning of the end. This is our Master Bedroom, but I didn't really care for the color. I wanted bright and cheery. I wanted Yellow......We started painting and the yellow soaked right into the wall. I was so worried! It tooka second coat and will need a third coat yet!

Aimee thankfully painted yellow for me!!!!She highly dislikes yellow.....I would tease her that she would have to wear a yellow dress at my wedding!!!

I don't apparently have any after pictures of that room. I will have to get some!

Bathroom---Before

LOVE....LOVE the bathroom color!!! We added some awesome curtains. More pictures to come!!!

March 13---My awesome brothers and Mom came down to help us move!!! And to think we didn't think we had a lot of stuff! Boy, were we completly wrong!!!

I will upload those pictures as soon as I find my camera!!!!!

March 13---We stayed the first night in our new house!!!

Yes...there is work to do, but all in due time! We love the fact that we actually have a "home" and not just a "apartment". It is a big step!!!! Well worth all the hard work we put into the last 2 years!!!!
