WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!

So we bought a house and we're all moved in! We've been so busy since we went under contract I haven't had a spare minute to catch my breath. Both of us have been working full time and then going home and doing odds and ends to maintain the house. I never really knew how much work a lawn and garden can be. We're soo anxious for Pauls family to visit! They are pros! We feel like we can't keep up with the grass, but then again, we are SSOOOO greatful to even have grass! When we bought the house EVERY room was yellow... I kid you NOT. EVERYROOM! so far we have painted the living room and kitchenette and the framing in those two rooms! We've also done most of the trim.. We tore out the ugly brown carpet that was in the living room and dining room. We pulled out all the sticky paper she had in the kitchen cabinets, and packed them full of our dishes!! And we already have a BILLION ideas for what to do next. I'm so tired.. Will we ever find time for the gym again?

This is the view of the living room/dining room from the living room window wall. Those are the wood floors we found under that old carpet! Woohoo! At lunch with Ashley and Vivian a couple weeks ago, Vivian said, that clean ugly floors are better than, dirty carpeted floors! AGREED! I would have been happier with plywood floors, than I was with the carpet!

These pictures were taken before the accent wall in the living room was painted but we picked a sage grey color that we LOVE LOVE LOVE! We haven't finished hanging stuff up yet but we'll get to it.. for now I just want to enjoy it for a few days first.

I promise I'll be better about updating! I have a couple pictures of the park about 6 houses away with pretty pond RIGHT in the middle. I'll upload them and post them soon! Hope all of you make it over to see the new house soon! We miss you guys!

HOUSE HUNTING!!!!!!

WHEWWWW!!!! We're BEAT! We have been looking for houses almost everyday for weeks. We found one we liked, let the selling agent know we were putting an offer in. The agent let us have a second viewing, saying it was still available and noone had yet showed interest. THAT NIGHT, we go to write our offer and GUESS WHAT...... Under Contract. And NOT TO US. ARGHHHHHHH.

So we're back on the search. We found another house last week that both of us liked that was priced too high, so our agent called theirs and asked if they could accept less.. Unfortunately the owners are facing foreclosure and need to get the most out of it. In a market like this they are far more likely to be foreclosed on.

I'm getting a little frustrated because it is really hard for us to completely agree on a house. When we finally do something else comes up!

Please keep us in your prayers... WE NEED A HOUSE!

This month was Pauls 23rd Birthday. His grandparents are in town, so we got the pleasure of celebrating with them!!! It the morning I woke up and made him a big breakfast and then I started chili. (he loves chili) As the chili was in the crock pot I started to bake his cake. A carrot cake with homemade cream cheese frosting! Yum! He'res a little clip of him blowing out his candles!

Bills Fans in Denver!

Hello Everyone!

Thanks to our AWESOME bosses, Paul and I got to attend the Buffalo Bills vs. Denver Broncos game! Now don't get us wrong, we like the Broncos, but when they are playing the Buffalo Bills!!!! NO CONTEST!

Now despite the fact that it was absolutely FREEZING outside, we had a great time!










We just had an awesome time and we wanted to share it with all of you!!

Winter Wonderland...

So you remember the snow we got that melted away in a day? Well that just happened to be the day we usually take the dogs to the dog park. It was barely snowing down town so we thought nothing of it and headed Southwest to Chatfield. The closer we got the worse it got. Pauls brother was in town so we figured we would keep going. All of us were bundled up just in case anyway. It gets pretty windy out there. Little did we know the snow was almost to our knees!

Who can forget Thanksgiving!? The first picture is the dinner we had with Brian and Melinda! I made the turkey.. And then of course... who can forget Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake? I had to make 2!

Sorry.. I'll add the picture of the Turkey later.. I hope everyone had an AWESOME Thanksgiving!! We had so much to be thankful for this year!!!!
