Catching Up!

I have been putting off making any new posts lately just out of sheer laziness, or maybe it has been sadness that all that has been going on is me being overwhelmed with how much work we still have to do moving into our new house. Our summer of living with nieces and nephews and having no responsibilities is over and that makes me really sad. That means there is no more of this... And no more river rafting trips.... And no more family camp outs....
Definately no more walks to get snow cones...

No more golfing with the wild life at Bountiful Ridge...

And worst of all, we dont get to see this face everyday anymore....

Instead our days feel alot like this...(Yes, Troy really is napping instead of laying our tile)

We have spent alot of time painting since we opted to do that ourselves. I still dont know why I thought that was such a good idea. It doesnt seem like the money we saved was really all that worth it now. Especially since there is still no end in sight. Here are some Before and After pics of some of the painting I have done. Of course, the rooms aren't empty anymore, but you can see the colors I have painted so far.

Our Family Room Before...

Our Family Room After...Our Kitchen Before...

Our Kitchen After...(We still need to put up our tile back splash, that's why it is still white above the counter top)

Our finished Master Bedroom...

Hopefully I will make alot of progress this weekend and I can post some new pictures next week. I am getting pretty sick of living surrounded by boxes so I need to kick it into high gear!

I know this info is quite old, but I had to post the pics anyways because I had so much fun on my birthday. Two of my best friends plus one of my sisters, so I guess technically 3 of my best friends, took me to get pedicures and out to dinner. It was only the second pedicure of my life and I am pretty sure it is going to have to be a semi-regular thing from now on. Thanks to Bekah and Mary for opening my eyes to this foreign world! Here are some pics from the night...

Troy also contributed to me having a fabulous birthday by taking me to get a couples massage and then dinner and a night downtown at the Marriott. It was a lot of fun, but of course, our camera batteries were dead so we didnt get any pictures! AAHH! Thanks for the fun birthday everyone!

Well, I think that's it for now. This has officially been the longest post I have ever made. I know alot of you have been asking for new pregnancy pictures and I tried to get Troy to take a 25 week pic of me last night, but that didnt end up happening. Hopefully I will have better luck tonight! :) Until next time...
