OMG...I haven't blogged since May of last year!! I promise we're still alive and I promise to be a more loyal blogger from here on out! We have gotten...ok David has gotten...most of the house done. The only rooms left are the master bedroom and bathroom and then we...David... has to build new cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Then it will be DONE!! I am so proud of everything that David has done to make our house a home. I am also very proud that I can now contribute to making our house more "homier" (is that a word?) by doing a little interior decorating. Speaking of decorating, David gave me the best compliment yesterday. I asked him how he liked the way the decorations were coming along (I buy a little at a time so we don't have a lot of decor). His response... "Our house looks like something you'd see walking through Hobby Lobby or Kirklands or somewhere" ... WOW...that made me happy!! Mainly because when I walk through those stores, I always thi...

Slowly but surely the house is coming along. Today I put this stupid...and complicated...and very user UNfriendly...wire shelf together. BY MYSELF!!! But I finally got it together! *Go Me!* Then I decided to go do a little shopping. I am very excited about my laundry room purchases...I think they go together very nicely! Love these baskets!! I take after my mother and have a basket issue! I bought these because they were cute AND they were on sale...but I'm not sure exactly what is going to go in them! :) This will eventually go on the wall when I can get David to put it up. I would try but I'm not a "use a level and make it straight" person. I would just throw it on the wall and it would probably be crooked. Notice this is "laundry room makeover - part 1" - "part 2" will be posted soon. The tile in laundry room isn't quite finished! :) But I did buy a cute rug that is red, orange and brown! Pics of the rest of the laundry room - o...

David and I had a busy day today. David worked on the house all day and got the living room completely painted and trimmed out. When I got home, I was running around doing laundry *where does it all come from??*, cooking dinner...which by the way was DELISH *parmesan crusted chicken and fettucini alfredo*...and cleaning up the house. After dinner, we decided to go get a dining room light! Doesn't it look fun?!? Then we came home, I made chocolate chip jumbo muffins (from the box)...mmmmm, and David put up some light fixtures. After we were done with the house stuff, David ever so graciously helped me with this blog. He is so good at Photoshop and HTML...he rocks!! After tonight, hopefully we can have a nice relaxing night tomorrow night and just enjoy each other's company!
