New Furniture!

Our new furniture arrived last week, and we L-O-V-E it! It is called Confetti - Cinnamon. It is so pretty and comfortable! We also bought a new dinning room table since the old wood one from Grandpa West was having a hard time, but still will be used in some fashion once we get things settled. It is a high marble top.

Yay, Casi is blogging!

I am super stoked that my sister Casi is now blogging! Nothing is better than being able to keep up with all the special people in our lives that live so far away! Check out her blog to see what she has to say! Yay!

No More Storms

Ahhh.... I'm so tired of cleaning the yard of storm debris. This last storm broke off a nice branch from the tree in the backyard....but seeing as many people had full trees up-rooted and laying on their beds, I'm not going to complain about that. Chris got to buy a new Chain Saw and Pole Saw - you know he is happy!

Moving Right Along

We've been working on the house every weekend...that's right - EVERY WEEKEND.

Chris has replaced a few broken Sprinkler heads.

Dad stopped by with a delivery here in Michigan City. Naurally, we put him to work. He mowed the yard, cleaned the gutters, and moved heavy things down to the basement. We REALLY appreciate all his hard work.

We also found this girl running around the backyard...

Apparently she is one hot mama, baby came out of hiding too.

Rotation near my friend and boss's house!

This is right above my friends house, and is very close to my boss's house across town.

Oh, I almost forgot -

Chris wanted me to post that last week he was in Ohio for work and after a wonderful roast dinner with a co-worker - he scooted on over to North Canton to visit with Isabela one last time before she went home to Brazil since he was so close. They decided to catch the midnight showing of Toy Story 3. Normally Chris is not a fan of 3d, but he really enjoyed it - thought it was pretty good, but loved getting to spend some more time with Isabela the most. Now he is planning a trip to Brazil for work.

Reading List

I have been reading as planned this past month. I finished "The Host," by Stephenie Meyer. It started slow, but after about chapter nine when I was ready to give-up on it, it really got good. I couldn't put it down.

After that I started "Cell," by Stephen King - but then I came across I, Alex Cross which I have been wanting to rent for sometime now. So...Cell has been put on hold while I read that.

I am almost finished with I, Alex Cross and I will read "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner," by Stephenie Meyer...yes, it is a spin from the Twilight Series - but Kelly at work says it is really good.

It's 'bout time!

I'm finally feeling well enough to make a post or two.... I apologize, but I just haven't felt like posting given all the unpacking, work, school work and last weekend's terrible toothache pain. But today...I'm feeling a little more calm, like things are finally getting organized.

We're still waiting on the furniture to arrive. It should be here next Thursday, so I will post pictures next weekend when we get it in and get it all arranged. I might post a few pictures before that, who knows.

I got my hair cut shortly before we moved. It took me awhile, but I really like it. I'm going to have the back shaped just a little shorter when I got back for a trim.

The Indy500 was amazing - HOT as all get out! But still a great time. I'm so proud that Rachel and Austin did so good. I was miserable with all the heat, and yet they didn't complain or anything about the long exhausting day - they stuck it out like pros when I wanted to throw the towel in...in fact - I did! lol, while walking to our place to set-up camp I stopped and waited for them to drop off the coolers in the wagon and came back for me. (In my defense - I was carrying three chairs...)

Most importantly is that we are enjoying being homeowners once again, and things are moving right along.
