our house!!!

so a few weeks later I finally remembered to put some pictures up! The house already looks different from these pics, but these are a good start! Jeremy is spending just about every waking moment at the house when we are in Paris and it really shows! But we still have a LONG way to go before we call it home :)

DAY 1:

The outside of the house :)

the UGLY bathroom.... wall paper isn't the funnest thing to peel off the wall

The kitchen is going to be the biggest project....that will have to wait til we have paychecks!

The dining room looks out on the the back deck/yard....Dutchess is going to LOVE the huge yard (compared to sharing the little one with Gracie, Phoebe, Gal, and Mia!)

The beautiful old windows in the living room I am working to improve!

DAY 3:

The wonderful semi-walk in closet Jeremy had to knock out 2 walls to make for me :)

ok make that 3 walls he took out! We decided sliding doors would be the way to go so that took more wall demo'ing!


The bathroom SLOWLY making improvements

And even more to come :)

Since I have been back for a few weeks now, I thought I should finally post some pics! Jodie and I made the most of Arkansas and actually had some fun! We didn't go out much but we did manage to explore a state park while we were there. Here are some pics from the day!

So you can actually walk across the waterfall but I knew I would manage to fall in so I passed on it!
We took our first attempt of geocache-ing (sp?) and actually found something! This was the treasure.....
The cache was called "where have all the trolls gone" very appropriate since Jodie found it under the bridge!

Less than 4 months away!

This is one of my favorite of the engagements pics so I thought I would share! Well today we both wrapped our last day of free labor. Tomorrow we will be "re-united" haha! It's been a long 8 weeks and we are lucky to have seen each other at all, but the last few weeks haven't made it any easier! I do believe the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" because we sure do miss each other! We will meet up for our short week long break in Paris so we can start working on the remodeling in OUR HOUSE! So many more pictures to be made and posted. It's definitely a work in progress to get it how we want it, but we are truly blessed that his parents are sooo kind to let us have the house (or at least borrow for a little while).

On the wedding update.....we have a band now-YAY! The band's name is South 281 and they a good Texas Country band so get your dancin boots on! If you want to hear some of their music check out their page: http://www.myspace.com/281south. But they are super nice and actually gave a deal so you can't beat that! But go to their tour page www. 281south.com to check out some of their tour dates so you can catch a show or two (we are!).

Well that's all that I have to update on. I will post pics of our home-in-progress. Hopefully all this "swine flu" business will go away so we can enjoy Cabo in August!!!
