House Tour Pt 2

And the house tour continues:
My pretty, green laundry room. Since we painted the entire house before we moved in, we were going to paint the laundry room as well. We had left-over master bedroom paint from our First Street house, so I thought it would look nice in the laundry room. I like it. (The laundry room is off of the hallway and you have to go through it to get to the garage.)

The living room. The front door is just to the right and the dinning room is just beyond the door. We have 2 book shelves and will have a couch in there. We have a nice computer desk that we just bought, but the top had a crack so we had to order another top. Hopefully this room will be put together soon.

The dinning room. I'm standing in the living room to take the picture. That is all of my china on the table. The living and dining room are all junked up, but when Adam finished putting together the furniture this weekend, hopefully these rooms will get cleaned up.

That is the ugly front entry light. It is still there. We are going to put in a recessed light and then add 2 more over the computer (the living room has no lighting). My goal is to have that done by the end of the month. We'll see. There is a lot on the "honey-do" list.

My new dinning room light. MUCH better than what was there.

I hear my little one waking up from his nap. More house pictures later . . .

Preview

OK, so I have been ordered by the gramma to put up giraffe pictures. No more house tour for now; only giraffes. Jacob was the cutest giraffe for our church's fall festival this past Sunday. Right now Jacob doesn't want me on the computer so I only have time for a preview. Lots more pictures to come. Enjoy!

Stocking Up

Jacob and I went and voted (he got a sticker, but I didn't put it on him because he would have eaten it) and then went to WalMart to stock-up on baby food. I bought 45 jars! It is so much cheaper at WalMart. The 3rd foods are $0.60 each and at Publix, on sale, they are $0.72 each. That savings adds up. I hate going to WalMart so I got 2 of every kind of veggie and meal and 4 of every fruit. I hope Jacob is hungry!

Go Vote!

House Tour Part 1

Here is the first part of my house tour. We moved our stuff in so fast. Adam had made several trips to the house with our stuff from dad's house, so we just had the guys meet us at our new house. They had the pod completely unloaded in 45min! Sean and Matt got started putting up our new lights and then Matt (and Stephanie and the baby in her belly) stayed until almost dinner time and were a huge help getting everything else set up.

This is my ceiling. Adam was in the attic running the cords for the TV (the components are hidden in our closet and you see no wires) and shifted his weight and went through the ceiling. Ahhh, memories!

That is all the installation that fell when his foot went through.

My taped ceiling.

The TV with no cords showing (my red wall isn't really that red). I love how it looks; just wish the hole wasn't there. We are going to have an attic ladder put in and the attic covering right now is texture just like the ceiling so we are going to use that for the patch. It should be fixed sometime this month. I responded good. I laughed for 2min, then made sure Adam was ok and then laughed some more. No point in crying. It happens! =)

OK, so this isn't a picture of the house. It is my brother with his new Jeep. This is for you Juli (and anyone else who hasn't seen his newest car). My dad bought him the Ford Focus, then he took that back and tried to sell it and bought him the Dodge. The Focus didn't sell, so Micah gave dad back the truck, sold the Focus and bought the Jeep. It is really high. He drove me to church in it on Sunday and I had trouble getting in with my fitted jeans and heals on!

This one is for you too Juli. Who would have thought that our brother would ever wear these shoes?!? The story goes: he was at work in his boots and was going to the APK game and forgot a change of clothes. He didn't want to wear boots with his shorts, so he bought these and has worn them several times (he even wore a blue dress shirt, khaki shorts and these shoes to church this Sunday; just when I think I have him figured out, he does something like this).

I know this wasn't a real tour. Just a glimpse, but I have lots more pictures and will get them up in parts. Tune in next time for the living room and dining room (how exciting is that?!?).

I just want to say a big THANK YOU to all those who helped us move especially my mom who washed many dishes, Stephanie Metzler who dried many dishes and did way too much and stayed way too late, Sean Canada for helping to put up my pretty lights and Mr Matt Metzler for helping Adam so much - my house wouldn't look as pretty without you. Thanks so much. I love you guys!
