Making a House a Home

So it's July and we've moved on to a third piece of property....right next to us!!! Craig's great grandmother's property is now available and we are jumping at the chance to settle by family and in the heart of Walker. Atleast for now that is - who knows what the future may bring - or rural development for that matter! It will take about 3 months to get the kinks worked out and then I guess however long it takes to actually build.

Chasity and Lynn are probably going to build right by us too....Very cool! Of course Chas and I are all giddy about picking out house "stuff". Here is my first purchase for the new house:


We bought the couches that is...and yes, they're sooooo red! It scared me a little at first, but I just love red! It's nice to step out of my neutral comfort zone and let a little color into my life. So most of the house will be reds, chocolate browns, oranges, and a touch of black. I really want to do our bedroom in a soft blue and chocolate brown, so my next mission is to find a bed set and comforter! Ohhhh, this is so much fun already!!!

I'll keep you posted!

Yea, I stink at it.....

I'm not a very good blogger am I? Thank goodness I have great friends like Kelly to inspire me to write again. Alot has happenend since I've blogged last. I won't dare try to fit it in on one entry, but I'll update you periodically to fill you in.

As of now Hayden is full speed ahead. He's walking!!! I never thought I'd see the day [or maybe I just hoped I'd never see the day]. He's getting so big! We recently returned from our second trip to the beach and I'm happy to report that he finally likes the pool and the beach is growing on him. He liked the sand for about a whole minute - then he ate it - then he hated it.

On our return from the beach we were unpleasantly surprised to find that Chasity had accidently left out freezer open. We had about $100 worth of shrimp in there, so needless to say our entire house smells like a seafood restaurant dumpster! Yuck! Times like these make me wish our olfactory sense was'nt our longest lasting memory, because I definately will remeber this smell for a looooonnnnng time. We're staying at my Mother-in-laws until the smell subsides. On top of all this - we will most definately have to invest in a new couch, mattress set, and refrigerator - the smell has seeped into them all! Ughhh!

I guess that's enough updating for now. As soon as I can get my pictures from the beach uploaded I'll post them. It feels good blogging again, so I hope I write again sooner rather than later.

Ciao!
