Introducing Todd, our new dog. He's such a funny little Rattie! (rat terrier), we love him. although the last few weeks have been hard with all the training, so we are going to take him to petsmart, they have a dog training school, we'll need all the help we can get..
A lot of family/friends have been asking why we are not posting any more pictures on fb. Well I realized that there's just too much access on facebook and I only want the people that we know and love to know where our house is and how it's coming along..
I've taken hundreds of pictures everytime we go out there. ( I swear our new neighbors must think we sleep there) but we don't!! we just like seeing it come together! this has been a great experience for all of us, And YES, we are very eager to move in!
So, here are a few pictures of the house. it should be ready in 2 wks! (happy dance!!)
This is what our house looked like today. The framing is no longer there, is has now been covered by drywall, and it looked like the stucco equipment was just waiting for the green light to get started.
We really have to get used to not call our house "the lot" because it's not a lot anymore, there is a house there and it is coming up fast!.
As usual, i didnt do posts for the following weeks, and i would have to figure out what week we're on. So far house is up, framing, then trusses. Roof is up and insulation, check. Next week will be dry wall, i have picked my kitchen cabinets, doors, etc. I will post some pics now and more tonight. I am super excited. Our neighboors are awesome! And i register the kids at their new school next Tuesday.
woo hoo! there's a lot of progress, in fact Hyrum and I had to decide on windows, shingles, and stucco color and style. to be honest I was a little nervous because it all had to be done in a rush but I think we decided well and everything is looking like it's running smoothly. Yay! Framing of the house will begin sometime next week and after the framing is done, everything should go super fast, I hope.
Not much has changed since last week, its been so wet that they still can't pour the concrete, so we have to be patient and hope that mother nature helps out this coming next week. On a side note, we visited the lot last week and let the kids run around and play, when we heard a loud thud, It was Katie who had tripped on a string and landed on the hole and was soaked with muddy water. sorry, no picture of that as she was really mad and wouldn't let us take one.. :-D. we love you K.!
I can't believe how fast kids grow. Josh has been a great big brother and has been reading to his sisters every night for the last month or two. It's so cute that when I say, "ok guys, bed time" they get ready and go to the girl's room and they will lay down next to him.. I love it!
After months and months of looking for a good lot to build our house, we finally found a great spot with great views of the lake and mountains, we absolutely love it!
We closed about 2 wks ago and now we're just waiting on the city on approve some things (soil, drainage etc) hopefully they're all minor things and Cam can get started digging and I think all that is taking place this Monday. Woo hoo!!
So we decided we're going to post pictures each week to see how it all comes together. "we, we, we so excited" (like Rebecca Black would say).
This is a total random post (very common of me) I'm on a caffeine high, so don't mind me..
I must be ovulating. Actually, I know I am, I've been feeling super tired these last couple days, It's killing me. I cannot look at my self in the mirror because I all I see is a super fat version of me..
Truth is, I'm more toned than ever before, I've lost so much weight but I just don't see it right now. Hyrum and I hired a personal trainer a few months ago and we love it! we really look forward to going every morning.
But it's been a couple months since I became a "woman" again. I literaly hadn't had my period in over two yrs (because of pregnancy, nursing, pregnancy and then nursing again.) so This "going back" it's really killing me..
Today I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed my big hips, and a couple love handles.. ugh. what an ugly sight...
confession: I went straight to the "secret drawer" and popped a caffeine/fat burning pill... what have I done? great. I feel jittery, my hands are super cold and my eyes are itching like hell!
Stupidest thing I've ever done..
I've learned my lesson.
So now, I have to wait until this thing wears off and be myself again.. sigh*
