catching up!


Goodness!!! We have been B-U-S-Y!  It was quite a whirlwind…but we recently found out that a house we had our “eye” on was going to be OURS!!!  It has been rented in the past and was currently empty, so we got to move in ASAP and “rent” until we close before the end of the year.  I am SO stinkin’ excited. 

 

The deets:  it’s an old brick ranch ON the lake (dream come true!!!)… it’s about 1950 sq feet right now and needs updating!!!  It’s going to be a work in progress, but I am SO pumped and thankful to start this journey!!!  I’ll post a big update with pics soon so I can document our renovation process, but for now we’ve been busy just moving in.  HOLY MOLY, how do we have SO much “stuff”????  I am NOT a pack rat and am much more a “toss it” type girl ... and yet, we still have SO much.  I did sell a bunch of furniture before we moved (our entire bonus room …. A queen bed, dresser, chest of drawers, nightstand, a couch, a love seat, our kitchen table, 9 barstools AND our dining room table… but yet, still…so much.)  We are downsizing quite a bit, so that’s obviously hard, and we don’t have a garage, we have three storage sheds…we will have to address those one day, but today is NOT that day.  Once we complete renovations/additions we will be at about 2250 sq feet…so not tiny, but certainly not big.  No worries though…I was fully prepared to make some sacrifices to be ON THE LAKE. 

 

So, life has been crazy as we’ve been moving/unpacking/trying to still go about our day to day lives….  So here’s a little photo dump for your Tuesday.  I don’t even wanna talk about what today really is... I’m pretty disgusted with both candidates, and truly just so sad that this is the state of affairs in our beautiful country right now.  Ugh.  So, how I deal is I just block it out… 

 

Happy Tuesday!!


My dad has been buying the boys camo stuff ... and Collins got jealous and wants her own! Ha!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
