animals, fish, and fun

fun day at the aquarium...

i laugh everytime i look at this picture basically because i'm either getting a smile or finger... and well emilee is learning the whole wave thing, but i swear it looks like a finger too...

promise you though, she doesn't know that hand gesture, its just funny how cameras can snap just at the wrong time picking up an image that really isn't supposed to be what it shows.

so with the rain and weather here lately, the work on the house has been kind of unpredictable yet predictable at the same time only because his sister, Grayce's house is about a week ahead of ours, so we kind of know what to expect...


even with knowing, I act completely like a 5 year old in their favorite store getting to pick whatever they want.. Its sooooooo exciting, seeing something new being done, no matter how big or small it is... we are now to the point that we go out everyday, just to see and check, just in case. and it never gets old or boring either..

we have a roof (well the trusses) :)

we had a boxed ceiling upgrade for the master bedroom (you can kind of tell here)

from the backyard (you see the master and kitchen)

they also started the exterior walls (2 sheets up) yay!

so now we are waiting for the rest of the exterior walls and the windows/doors to be put in.... hopefully today that will happen....

customizing, updating

so i'm tweaking the blog to be more about us and our little adventures, thus why the picture is no longer there. we need one.. a good one that is.. its always not approved by one party in the picture, so hopefully soon I can get one of the both of us that i like.

otherwise notice the url change also.

more soon <3

craigslist <3

Damon and I have been looking at a few things for the house once it is ready for move-in, mainly a dining room table and refridgerator (black side by side.) We had found a few at a couple different stores that we liked, but really didnt like spending that kind of money right now.


So we gave Craigslist a try, and I am absolutely in love with that site now. Here's what we found and purchased last week, and I must say, I can't wait to see it in the house and start using them:

The table - it has a leaf so it will expand to 54 x 54; counter height

The "wine bar" - we can take out the wine bottle rack and use it for a curio cabinet :)

The chairs - we got all four of them to go with the table, and they are cushioned and comfy

We got all of them for a fantastic deal which we couldn't pass up, and everything is in fanstastic condition, so that made me even more willing to get it... So now the hunt is on for the black side by side fridge. We're in no hurry, since we have until July to find one.

The frame is being started today, so by the end of the week we should have a "house." I can't wait for that!
