The Cat Lady Said What???

Chris and I moved in (like 96% of the way) into our BRAND NEW house and as a family we decided that this move wasn't crazy enough so we decided to make our weekend a little more crazy! We had a medium move on Friday and then the BIG move on Saturday (thanks to the family members who help move all our crazy heavy stuff!!) and Sunday Chris and I decided that we would drive to riverton and ..... Pick this little girl out. INTRODUCING: DIGBY DOXEY. She is a 4 week old Dark Chocolate Lab. You are you not mistaken, the cat lady DID cave and we decided to adopt a little puppy (as in not a feline). We love her already. She is still too little to be away from mom, but we will get to bring her home in about two weeks!!! So much for have brand new clean carpets!

Here are her glamour shots that I fell in love with:

Brand New House

This blog, I will admit is mostly for me, so I can remember what our house looks like before we get all the clutter in it and it get all messy.

Here it is from the outside. cars in the garage and everything!
This is the front room right off the front entrance.
This is the mudroom right off the garage entrance

Here is the kitchen!

The Stairs

Master bedroom

Masther Bath (this picture took me forever to get it without me in it)

Master Shower

Mastercloset (this is my favorite; this picture doesn't do it justice)The Laundry room. This view is opposite of the washer and dryer. Upstairs full bath. Bedroom 1 This is the closet. The two bedroom closets are identical.

Here is bedroom 2. My future craft room.

** I forgot to mention, I didn't take any picture of the family room because we are painting and the blue tape effect was not what I was going for...

Hey what are you doing this week? ME? Well...

I thought that I would update my blog, but I don't really have much of anything (pictures that is)... so my words will have to suffice.

Last Friday Chris and I did the last walk through of our lovely home, and of course everything was done and it is now a real people house for real people! I planned to take many pictures to show everybody, however when I turned the camera on to take the first picture the batteries were dead. Funny how electronics need to be charged occasionally.

This means that if everything goes as scheduled, Chris and I do the "Follow-Up Final Walk Through" Thursday morning and straight there we go to Bountiful and sign on our mortgage and Friday (not sure the time) we get the keys to our first home! Super exciting!

As you can imagine this is a little stressful, especially the fact that this big day in our lives has fallen RIGHT DURING THE WEEK OF FINALS. Lovely. We have our home Friday, so instead of going straight from work to enjoy and bask in the idea of having a huge closet, I have to go straight to school and take a final. How am I supposed to preform to my fullest?!

Anyone bored and wanna help move us? just kidding... kinda

Little house on the prairie...

This is a post that have been meaning to post for A VERY LONG LONG TIME! So the beginning of this year Chris and I broke ground on our first home together (we didn't break the ground ourselves... in case you were confused). But I have been taking pictures of our little home week by week so we could document the growth of our home. so I thought that I would post them....

Week 1

[this is our fine fine hole]

There is a lot of dirt on our property because when they dug the hole for the house next to use, they put their dirt on our property...

[our hole again]

Week 2

[we have a foundation]

Week 3

the only thing that happend during week three is our foundation dried... and to the enjoyment of watching cement dry... I didn't take any pictures.

Week 4

[we got one wall, a floor and our basement framed!]

Week 5

[bam we have a house, that fast]

[our garage from the entry door][the garage entry from the garage steps][this is our family room]

[do a 180 and here is the kitchen, the pantry is framed]

[what it looks like from the front door]

[living room, right off the front door]

[half bathroom and closet]

[and the upstairs... but the stairs have not been installed yet]

[and this is in our garage, microwave and hot plate (not included with our house**sad face**)]

this is all I feel like posting right now... I got this far and got bored and realized that this was a very long boring post... but I wanted to have this to look back on. Maybe I will finish later.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire...

Hanging on a Telephone Wire..

Do you remember this saying? Well Chris and I were having an intellectual discussion about it. My whole life I had envisioned this type of a scenario..

I told Chris this and he thought that it was always this...

Either way we agreed that for lying have your pants lit on fire while on your body and you are hanging from a telephone wire OR taken from you lit on fire and thrown too high for you to do anything about it is a bit harsh for lying...

Guilt Pleasures....

Here is a list of things that I love that I am embarrassed to say that I do... now's the time to swallow my pride and just let everyone know.

I love singing as loud as possible while driving.. I used to do it and then stop if I was at a stop light or something, no matter how good the song was. Now I don't care where I am, I just belt it.. is that even the right term

Is it bad that I really want to buy this book and use it everyday of my life?

I love watching iCarly... I can't even justify why I love this show. I just do!

I have a "blanket." It is a disgusting thing that I can't sleep without. It is tattered and falling apart but I love it. I thought that when I got married I would just throw it away, but when I went to my parents house to get it to throw it away, it "accidentally" ended up in our bed and I sleep with it every night. Chris hates it because it leaves little bits of yucky fabrics everywhere...

I love picking at things. When I'm bored or nervous I will scratch the inside of my ears until sometimes they bleed. Sometimes when I run out of things to pick at, I will pick at Chris and he hates it... but when I find something to pick at, if I just leave it there and not pick it I have anxiety. I am a disgusting human being.

I like watching "Confessions Animal Hording" on Animal Plant Surprisingly Human Because deep down I relate to all those people. I would only hoard cute pets though, like cats and dogs, I just love to cuddle their soft fur.

That's all I can think of right now. When I lay it out like that I realize that I am a very strange person. Makes me wonder how I ever convinced Chris to marry me, poor guy!
