Now, I haven't really updated on the house lately. We had a couple of busy weekends that put things on hold for a bit. BUT...we(meaning mostly Jess and his Grandpa) are back at it! We almost have the whole main level dry-walled. I am extremely excited about this-yet that means I need to kick it into gear. I have all the paint purchased besides our bedroom. I just don't know where I want to go with it.

So hopefully soon once we get things cleaned up I can post some pictures. AND...I need to find my camera:(

The next big thing is picking out carpet. We looked the other day and I was somewhat overwhelmed. Don't really know what to do. Do we go with cheaper carpet because we know it is going to get dirty? Or do we spend the money on some decent carpet!? We know that we are going to get Nylon carpet-it is just choosing the right one. PLEASE weigh in your opinion! I need it!

Hope all is well with you:)

The dress

This past weekend was my uncle's wedding. Lots of fun was had for sure! Jess and I got to get away for the night. Also, I got to wear my new dress. It was so comfy and I LOVE IT! Endless possibilities with this little black dress.

REALLY bummed I forgot Jesse's tie. But he still looked good. He wasn't named "Best Looking Guy" of the Class of 2007 for nothing:)

If you have been wondering how my pop venture is going. I would have to say I am doing well. I drank 32 oz. last week. Although we leave for a trip to Canada tonight(which I should be getting ready for) I probably won't do so well then. I will be doing lots of hiking and such though. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will post some pictures of our Canada trip when I get back!

I Love Pop

Weight loss...so not an easy task! I was doing really good about running or walking every day, but things have changed. I watch another little girl besides our 2 and I am canning like crazy! So to try to further my weight loss I am making a BIG step. May seem real easy to some but, this is a struggle for me. CONFESSION: I LOVE POP! I probably drink more pop in a month than anyone should in their life. I drink 224 oz. or more of pop a WEEK! That is ridiculous. So I am made a little challenge for myself. I am going to try to drink 32 oz. or less a week. Like I said before, it may seem too easy. But it is only Monday (started yesterday) and am craving a 32 oz fountain Dr. Pepper so bad.

Another thing I am adding to my challenge list is not eating after 8pm. This can be difficult when my hubby gets home from work late and we are constantly going trying to get our house done! But, I am going to do! I took my weight and on October 18th I am going to weigh in again and see what/if I lost!

Wish me luck!

Light at the End of the Tunnel?

The new homestead is coming together. My best friend came over on Thursday to help me prime the nursery. Funny thing is I think we talked to much. I got more done in 2 hours than we did in 3. But, it was so nice just to have some time with no little ones to catch up with my bestest.

Things Accomplished this week:

• Cabinets: FINISHED
• Cabinet Doors: 1 more coat of polyurethane.
• Drywall: ALL HUNG
• 2 bedrooms: PRIMED

I would say we had a pretty productive week!

This weeks' projects are going to consist of:

• Finishing Cabinet doors
• Painting Nursery
• Painting Girls' Rooms

For the nursery I am going with green walls, color of the ceiling is still up in the air. I was thinking maybe a lighter color of green.

The girls' room will be yellow walls, possibly an orange or pink ceiling. All of the colors not quite a pastel but nowhere near bright. PLEASE weigh in your opinions on my color selections.

Maybe there is a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.
