My Prince!

I have completly decided I married the most amazing and wonderful man in the entire world. He is my prince!!!! Today we went to cosco, yes thats what we like to do on Date nites. Then he took me to best buy and bought me a LAPTOP. I know he is so amazing. He knows that I really wanted one to have at work. I really can't believe how blessed I am! Sigh.... I truly can't believe it. I love him so very much!!!

Just another day in Paradise!

I love my hubby. He is so wonderful! Lets see, what did he do today! Just was wonderful. His Dad came over again today and they got the entry way sanded and ready to be painted. Also they painted the ceiling and he started cleaning out the garage. Parkin in the Garage here I come. Its been years since I have gotten to park in a garage!! Tonite my hubby was such a trooper we went to Bath and Body Works and bought soap. Then he took me to the library and was bored, but such a sweetie to take me. He couldnt understand why I checked soooo many books out! :) Men they crack me up!

BBQ

Well, finally we got a grill. It only took buying one in a box to put together. Discovering there is no way we will ever get it together. Returning it, trying to fit an already assembled one in the back of my mom's mountaineer. Well as you can imagine. We had to take the top off of the new one to get it in there. We finally got it home put together. And we used it last nite(Sun). We had well, Matt had steak and I had turkey dogs. He did an awesome job burning them!!! LOL, yeah I like my food burnt.

Progress

Well, it has been a little while since we worked more on the home. But today while I was sleeping, Matt and his Dad, worked on the house. The sanded and puttied all the holes in the hallway from the front door. I cant wait to paint it! Its going to look so stinking awesome!! Matt also mowed the front yard it looked beautiful!! Now on to the upstairs hallway and removing the leftover wallpaper and we will have the main rooms finished and then open house time!!!

Tonite, My best friend and I went and saw Green Day in concert. It was stinking awesome!!! I loved it. Of course my body aches, my throat and voice are scratchy and I can barley hear. But it was so worth it!!!

Finally Picture Updates!

Well, it only took.....forever! But I finally have the pictures of what we have changed in the house. I swear we have been super super busy. Of course it doesnt help that this weekend, my dad finished putting the new door from the house to garage together. And well decided to cut some wires to what he thought was the security system. Yeah, NO!!! he cut the wires from the thermostat to the air condition. Well, thankfully he fixed it of course that was after trying to sleep the whole nite in an 86 degree house. But ya know, ya learn. I did tell my dad he is not to cut anymore wires until we make sure where they go. :)

So here we go updates!

Okay so here is our new front door. We love it, so very pretty. As you can see around the door there is glue on the wall. We took off all the wood paneling and wallpaper. It so much nicer now. Of course it will be even better when we get done painting it. I think Matt and his Dad are going to work on it on Wendesday.

When you walk up the 1st set of stairs. I am not sure if ya all remember this room, but it was covered with dark gray wood paneling. And had carpet on the floor. We removed all the ugly wood paneling and painted it this beautiful yellow color. We also pulled up the ugly carpet, to reveal pretty wood flooring. It will eventually need to be refinished but for right now it is beautiful!

There used to be really ugly spindles and stuff in the window from kitchen to living room. We took them out and they are being replaced with just flat wood leaving a pretty open space.

So we have not redone the bathroom yet. But i think the plain white shower curtain looks awesome with the wallpaper. Its fun wallpaper but, it will be coming down when we redo the bathroom.

The Master bedroom had wood paneling on the walls and ugly, ugly purple/pink carpet. So we removed the carpet and the wood paneling on this side of the room. Painted it blue and left the pretty wood floors. We also addedd a double bar closet system. That we are going to hang a curtain in front of it.

On the other half of the bedroom we left the wood paneling up. And painted over it with a slightly darker shade and we got new tannish colored shaggy carpet to replace the purple/pink.

So I guess that is our newly updated house so far in a nutshell. As soon as I have more the share I will. Have Super Days!

Can't wait till we Paint!

Well, as more days go... on and on and on and on and on. LOL, I am happy or yet shocked to discover its hard to make progress on this house. We have carpet on the stairs and the hall. Carpet which I want to pull up so bad, but we are waiting until we paint to pull it up. Mainly due to the fact we dont want to have to worry about getting paint on our pretty hardwood floors. I am absolutly exhausted in the afternoons anymore. Due to the fact I work nights and my body is starting to take a toll from it. Matt is working hard and we seem to be busy on the weekends when we would have time to work on the house. Birthday party here, joining costco there. Which reminds me, Matt and I are now members of Costco. Very exciting, indeed. I know so goofy we are but so dang excited too. Its actually alot of fun to walk thru this giant store that has all this stuff you in no way need. I am really excited I am having a candle party this Friday and I have people coming over and I can't wait to show them my new home. Its super exciting owning a home of your own. Which reminds me I need to call my sister and see if my brother in law is available to work on the house at all this weekend. He has been such a big help to us. :) I know I keep promising pics and I do promise they are coming soon, just havent had time to take them. Have Super Days!
