Wow, November is almost halfway over!

Wow, November 10th already... where does time go???? On Halloween Matt and I had alot of help from his dad, he came over and installed our new floor and started to install our vanity






On the journey of new flooring Matt and his father discovered that there was 5 layers of old lanoliums on the floor, instead to taking them up when they changed the flooring they just put it over. Sigh... so many surprises in this house of ours.


















This is a picture of Matts dad putting the last piece of floor down. We like it, its just a tiled lanolium, hopefully when we redo the whole bathroom we will get real tiles on the floor.

This is a picture of the new vanity, my dad actually came out on the next day and hooked it up for us. Poor Matts dad was so exhausted after the floor craziness that we thought it would be best to let him go and have it done the next day. It was just so much work to do the floor.

I will include a more finished bathroom picture after we get the glass doors on the shower. Hopefully that will happen very soon!

And now just a picture to show off my beautiful sister and niece. She went as a pirate for halloween!

Well as with everything that is house progression at its best and remodeling we have hit a pause for a few days. Still no Vanity! Matt's dad is now coming over on Saturday to help us with it. Which really works out best for us all! But dang I so want to see how pretty my bathroom will be when done. In all the adventure of the day yesturday we decieded to hang our tv in the bedroom on the wall! Let me tell ya if you need a wallmount go to Lowe's! Best Deal ever, cost us around 50.00 the only ones we could find other places would have cost us over 100.00. This is also the full range wallmount it works amazing! Well in all the excitement to hang it up, the battery on the drill died, while it was still in the wall. It was so funny. I never laughed so hard. I have included a picture of the excitement.

Our New Medicine Cabinet all pretty and hanging up. Only a few more things to do, of course they are big things. But hey at least we some wonderful and beautiful things already set up in our bathroom.

The Drill stuck in the wall! It was an adventure for sure! At least you can tell we enjoyed ourselves! Matt was all smiles and laughs!

The tv looks beauiful on the wall, we have moved all the cords and hung a cute shelf to hold the cable box. It looks amazing!

Okay so in my last post, I updated you on the work. Here are some pictures on how it went. My sister worked really hard on gettin wallpaper down she gets a little excited and ripped a little in the process.

Isnt she so cool, she was such a help and a hard worker. I could never have done this and she just went crazy and did it all!

My husband was such a huge help too. He put the whole first coat of paint on the walls and sanded them down. He did an amazing job!

I put the final coat on, Looks awesome if I say so myself. Its a silver gray color that will go perfect with our towels and new vanity!

We put the new Vanity Mirror/Medicine Cabinet up tonite, and I took pictures. I will try to post tomorrow. Only 4 trys later and we found the perfect one! Tuesday, Matt is putting the tiles down and hopefully the new vanity!
Loves All!

Wow, I cant believe October is almost over

Seems like it has been forever since I posted on here. Matt and I have been so super busy, still nothing done on the upstairs hallway but we have taken the dreadful old wallpaper down in the bathroom and have painted the walls. Let me say that was an experience in itself. My sister was an amazing help, she literally pulled all the wallpaper down by herself while I played/watched my niece. Matt patched and sanded so many times we thought it would never get done. There are still minor imperfections but its an old house and seriously what can ya do. I love this house but it will be such a blessing when most of it is done. After the bathroom is done we are going to finish the hallway and then on to what we refer to as the moose room. Currently its a catch all, but it will someday be a baby room. NO, I am not preggos. We just want to get the nasty wallpaper down and repair the damage to the walls. At some point a while ago there was termites so there is some minor sheet rock damage we will have to repair. Thankfully that won't be to hard. My it seems so crazy that October is almost over, I cant believe that Matt and I have been married 6mths, and own a house. We are so excited with each new thing we get to learn and do within our home.

Bathroom updates:
Remove Wallpaper---- Check thats done

Here We Go Again.....

Wow, reminds me of an OK GO song..... But My hubby has Posion Ivy again, so needless to say he is back to the itching. So are friend Nick was over working on our last few electric things and we were telling him about it and Matt said he couldnt figure out where it was. Cause well he wasnt sure what it looked like, just knew it had 3 leaves. So Nick said were you working in the backyard and went out back. Well, second he walked out there he was like.... This is it here, here, here, here.... all over here. And probably some over here too. OH MY WORD!! Its all over the place, so needless to say we are going to get some weed spray and Matt is not touching the weeded area of the backyard until its dead and we have has snow to make sure it is doubley dead.

So My Hubby is super excited we are going to see MU play today. So what did we have to do last nite, when he realized he didnt have a hat to go with his shirt. Yea.. We went shopping. He is so funny. This his first time to a college football game and well me too... So its super exciting in the HOBBS house for him.

My Hubby and My Meow

So it just dawned on me I have yet to introduce my extremely handsome husband and my super wonderful Kittt Kat! These pictures are from our wedding. I love this one, so does Matt. Its one of his favorites. I think he looks amazing. Of course funny thing is he is not very good at pool!

This is Matt with his brother Kevin! I think they both looked very nice in their tuxes!

This is our beautiful family, On the left is Matt's Mom and Dad(Patti and Doug) and then Matt and Me and on the right is my Mom and Dad(Jet and Don)

This is our baby, Charlotte! We used to call her Charlie for short... But well, she loves to listen to her own voice so now she is known as MEOW. I rolled over the other day to find her asleep next to me on Matt's Pillow. I sent him a picture and he was like WHAT THE HECK!!! He keeps finding her up there now and is like did you put her up there? I love it, it cracks me up cause she does it on her own.

This is a great picture of her, she is so pretty. I think she is the most adorable cat ever!

Well, this was my hubby and meow, I think they are wonderful hope you enjoyed!

Wow do I sound lazy......

Okay so I was just rereading my last post and realized that it sounds like I sleep all the time. So I figure I should probably explain that a bit. I myself work Nights. Which means I go to work at 11pm and get off at 7am. So while I am sleeping which is usually 7am or 8am to 4pm. My hubby on his days off usually works on stuff around the house. So it seems like he does alot, cause he does and unfortunatly with my job when I am up I am usually still extremly tired. But that should all change hopefully in January. Cause I have senority finally and shift bids will be coming back around. And I should be going to days. Of course that means my hubby will have to get used to sharing the bed and not hogging the bed. Which he likes to do when I am off and able to sleep with him. LOL, he could be in the middle of the bed and I could be falling off and he will whine I'm on the edge. He totally cracks me up! Sigh, I love the pain in the butt. His poor Posion Ivy still looks bad, but the backyard is looking pretty amazing. I will have pictures soon. Loves all!
