Work, Work, Work

Buying a new home means that there is always something to be worked on. Wither it be demolition, painting or installing something new. Well this weeks project or should I say maybe a couple of weeks, we have been working on installing new tile for our front entry way. Before it was this crappy old worn out wood floor and it just had to go. So one day Ben decided to rip it all out and that is how the project began. We had a few set backs like BSU games or Ben accidentally cut his finger with the razor blade so that put us back a while but the good news is he still has is finger and it is healing nicely and that we finished it YEAH!! Now we have started on getting Tom's bathroom tiled we are just about done, the only thing left to do is to seal the tile and grout lines and put the toilet back in and than we are DONE!! After doing a project like this the end results are always rewarding.

Puking Pumpkins


So I wanted to carve pumpkins this year and of course I can never talk Ben into carving pumpkins with me so I carved his pumpkin and I carved my own. I really didn't mean to copy you Jenny and Chris, but I had that in mind as well to have my pumpkin puking!! It really is rather funny when you look at it. But I had a great time carving up my pumpkins this year and hope I can get someone else to help me carve them next year! I hope everyone has a really great Halloween, and have a SPOOKTAKULAR NIGHT!!

Me and Mrs. Cheese Head



Jamie is one of my good friends at work she dressed up as a Greenbay Packer Fan, she had made some really cool signs for the team and hung them around her desk. And then there is me so you could get a better look at my construction out fit! The picture's didn't turn out so good that is because I have to use my camera phone, and my real camera is still broken. I think it has been broken for over a year now. Maybe I just need to get a new one.

The Village People


Being that it is Halloween and that time of year a group of us girls from work decided that it would be fun to all dress up as the Village People Deidra was the Indian, Megan was the Sheriff, Vy as the biker chick, Deanna as the first Sargent, Susan was the Cowgirl, and there there is me as the hard working construction man or bob the builder. We all had a lot of fun dressing up at work as funny people.

Fall is in the Air


Fall is my favorite time of year! The leaves are all changing colors, the weather is getting colder. The grass has stopped growing (no more mowing!) BSU Football has started. Racking leaves and jumping around in them. Halloween is just around the corner. What will you be for Halloween? What are your kids going to be? Kids running around in the streets at night in funny outfits. Pumpkin carving, pumpkin pie. Scary decorations. What more can you say about Fall. I think it is just a wonderful time of the year there are so many different colors around.

My Doggy Legadu


Legadu and I were out playing ball and I figured out how to make him pose really cute for the camera!! Its really easy I just have to hold his ball right next to the camera because that is all he ever thinks about is his tennis ball. He is a great dog and I am glad he is part of our family.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

Okay so this past weekend my husband and I spent a good majority of our time on our house. We wanted to paint the outside or our house because it needed it really really badly! So we saved some money for the big project. If you ever watch TLC there is a show called flip this house. In True flipper style, our budget was
500.00
Paint and Supplies 356.40
Lighting and Accessories 56.80
Extra Cash 86.80
Total Profit Priceless.

It was a ton of work being the fact it was only Ben and I for most of the main painting of the house. However my brother in law Tom came just in time when both Ben and I were about to break down. He pitched in with most of the trim work and other minor details. Hopefully you can see our house used to be a light cream color with a dark green trim, it is now light brown with a dark brown trim. I am glad that we had to opportunity to paint the out side of our house it feels like a completely different home!

Happy Birthday!!


Happy Birthday to my WONDERFUL husband and lover!! I am so grateful that such a wonderful man came into my life and chose me!! I hope he has the BEST birthday ever!! I don't think we have much plans for his big birthday today. However I did make him a birthday cake which he wanted a Yellow MOIST cake with chocolate frosting and I added some peanut butter M&M's to top it off. He loves anything with chocolate and peanut butter in it :). We will probably order in food from Texas Road House as it is one of our favorite places to eat, we just don't like going and waiting for ever to get a table, when we can just eat some great food in the comfort of our own home. Other than that he might get a few birthday gifts :)!! He is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me!! This picture makes him look crossed eyed, well that's because Ben hates taking pictures so this was the best one that he would give me, he really is cross eyed in the picture. He is so goofy sometimes. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!!
