Let the fun begin!

After a MUCH needed getaway to California ( Thank you so much Mary and Terry) We returned home not knowing if we would be able to start working on our house. Thursday morning we went over there and we able to start construction!

We tore out all of the old red and yellow shag carpet down stairs and knocked down some of the wood panelling. We are not really worried about down stairs because we can finish that while we are living upstairs! Just as long and its empty and clean..



When we tore out the carpet upstairs there was hardwood floor in both bedrooms and half of the living room. I was so excited because its the "old" hardwood from 1944 and I am going for the "old" look so once we re-finish it, it will look amazing! And for some weird reason it stopped right in the middle of the living room which is right where I wanted to the carpet to start so that turned out perfect:)



We knocked down the ceiling in the living room because it was this old asbestos tile stuff and my lungs are still burning..



We bought paint and light fixtures for the bedrooms yesterday. The colors will be Crisp autumn leaves and Mossy Green. I do not want one wall left white. I love color and I am so excited to be able paint things how I want them!



I am so happy and so relieved that we are finally able to start working on it. And hopefully we will be in there before Thanksgiving. I just hope that all of the bad news is over!

Update for Lacy!

Here is a little update just for Lacy!

Russ and I have been working ALOT lately. He changed routes about a month ago and now he is working in Provo again. It is a bigger route and the commission is better but I wish he was still in American Fork. Our puppies are getting so big and they are so cute! After having 2 dogs I seriously do not think I could handle children.. I think I am meant to just be a dog mom! I cant wait to take them sledding.. We are doing family pics next weekend and so I will put some on here as soon as I go to my Moms and use her computer.. Mine is in storage:(

Russell took his concealed weapons class a while ago and being the bomb wife that I am I took him to Gunnies last Saturday and bought him a Glock! Lucky sucker.. He has been playing with it ever since. We are still waiting to find out what is going on with the house.. Go figure! That whole thing is such a joke. If this is not resolved by the 1st of November we will be looking at houses elsewhere! I need my own space back NOW:) We both are taking a week off in November and we can not wait. We do not know what we are doing yet because once again we are waiting to find out about this damn house! But we have to get outta here for a couple days I do not care where we go!

And that's it! Things have not been too exciting lately:) But I promise I will try to update this thing more often!
