Take a Tour!

Well, I know it's been a while since we've posted and here we just bought a new house! We figured you would want to see pics so I have pretty much taken you on a tour of our house if you scroll down you'll see some before and afters. A week and a half ago we closed on the house and immediately began working! Every room in the house was repainted --(even the closets)-- and the hardwood floors were refinished by my awesome husband and carpets cleaned. We are all in now. I am so thankful that I was able to take a couple days off to paint and move boxes to make things so smoother. Enjoy and if you are ever in the neighborhood, swing on by!!

Back Up and Running

Oh to our few and far readers: do not despair! We are back on the internet!! Sorry we had to take a short break but we recently moved out of our apartment and have moved into a house until we close on our house January 31st. This house actually belongs to Shana & Mike, Kit's sister and brother-in-law. We now have internet and finally connected...again! Like I mentioned previously, we close on our January 31st and then will refinshed some hardwood floors and paint and plan to move in the next weekend! God is good ALL the time and ALL the time God is GOOD!! Our inspection on the house was a two-part series as the crawl space had about 8" of water and needed to be pumped out before our inspector could take a look but when he did he saw NO rot and NO mold! The seller is putting in a sump pump--again, Praise the Lord! We are so in awe of how wonderful the process has been!

Decisions, Decisions

We are packing the apartment up and getting quite excited with anticipation! We are hoping to move this weekend but are unsure due to the upcoming weather forecast...it looks to be quite crummy!
Also, we have been staring at paint samples for the past few days and I think we have made some *tenative* decisions. Kit and I are thankful for being able to make these choices and realized how blessed we are! Please continue to pray for us as this looks to be quite the crazy month :).

Above, is Kit & Grover playing around with some our packing boxes and also "just a few" of the paint samples I've collected.

Below, are the colors for the house and the basket from where the color scheme came from :).

OUR SOON TO BE HOUSE!!!

It's been too long

What can I say? There have been so many family get togethers, birthday parties and changes to our lives I don't know where to begin! First I'll start with before Christmas. My husband was so thoughtful to give me princess cut diamond stud earrings as my "graduation" present for helping Kit through school. Then, it was busy and so precious to spend with family for Christmas. I also received more sparkles for Christmas as Kit got me a right hand ring! Another highlight was spending a day at the Antique Mall in Edinburgh and getting a great deal on a Barrister bookcase.
Sunday night was so much fun as we spent welcoming in the New Year with other couples from our church and participating in a "murder mystery dinner".

Graduation Day

KIT GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday was Kit's graduation and open house.
What a great day filled with accomplishment!
It was great to see family & friends and spend
time giving honor to whom honor is due. Kit also finished out the semester with honors!

27

We couldn't help but pick this picture for Josh trying to impersonate a blind african-american musician (or at least that is what we see when we look at this picture!).
Anyway, we wanted to give a shout out to Josh today on his 27th Birthday!! We hope you have a blessed day :).
Josh~just so you know I was going to drop off you present on Tuesday but Kit is holding it for ransom so you'll come to his open house on Sunday!!

Winter Doldrums

Poor Grover has been quite bored lately with the cold weather and two "parents" who are anything but eager to take him outside and play! Poor puppy

Extraordinary

I had a birthday this past Thursday. Some of the highlights for me just had to be posted! The orange purse was given to me by a co-worker. I like orange but wow--this is really loud :).
Also, I was given some bowls that are awesome since they are had painted with my oranges, and golds that I love. My parents gave me candlewick! I absolute love it! I also loved my new scrubs, outfits and I can't wait to break out the labelmaker!

New Changes

As many of you know I have been looking for a simple but elegant black comforter for a "onyx and champagne" bedroom. After several months of looking through all the department stores and online stores I was finding that black was rare...chocolate is the NEW black!
One day after shopping through the "clearance" outlet section at JC Penny's online, I found this and it finally came it this weekend!
